Bring the winter indoors! Learn how to make these beautiful winter Curled Paper Snowflakes this winter season.
We have snow in the forecast for the next week!
I wasn’t sure that we would get snow this year here in the Pacific Northwest, but it looks like there’s a great chance of it coming soon.
It’s time to get out the snow gear (again!)
Just over Christmas break, we took a trip to the mountains to find snow and we packed anything and everything snow gear related and we did get to spend plenty of time in the snow!
Snowflake Activities for Preschoolers
Snow is exciting during the winter time and many people find themselves wanting to experience a snow day at least once a year!
I know that personally, I like a day of snow. I encourage the kids to get outside and play in the snow while it lasts.
Anything over a day and I’m ready for it all to melt and get back to life again.
Last year, we had an entire week off of school due to snow.
As a mom, you may understand what it’s like to have the kids stuck at home for an entire week due to snow!
