The prospect of a snow day is often more exciting for kids than adults. With these 6 ideas, snow days can be fun for the whole family!<\/p>\n

Along with snowmen and movies, give these snow day activities a try.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Free Coloring Pages<\/strong>
    \nCrayola<\/a>, Free Coloring Pages<\/a> and our home coloring pages<\/a> provide fun, printable designs for children. Are you ready to join the fun? Enjoy Coloring Pages for Adults<\/a>. Coloring is a fun and relaxing way to pass the time.<\/li>\n
  2. Sock Basketball<\/strong>
    \nThe unmatched sock is so common; it is worth finding a new use for them. Ball up a mismatched pair of socks and set up laundry baskets or boxes at varying distances. If you\u2019re feeling extra competitive, assign a point value to each basket. Otherwise, whoever gets the most sock balls into a basket wins.<\/li>\n
  3. Warm Treats<\/strong>
    \nCooking on a cold day warms you inside and out.     Hot chocolate on a stick<\/a>, mug cakes<\/a> and apple pie chips<\/a> are delicious, kid-friendly options.<\/li>\n
  4. Coding<\/strong>
    \nMake snow day educational and forward-thinking by spending time on a     free coding site for kids<\/a>. Coding is a valuable skill used for building website, apps and computer software. Learning how to code as a child is likely to be highly beneficial in the future.<\/li>\n
  5. Board Games<\/strong>
    \nWith the constant presence of technology, old-fashioned fun often goes out the window. Check out this list of     Best Board Games for Kids<\/a>, which includes classics such as Jenga and new favorites like Telestrations.<\/li>\n
  6. Snow Art<\/strong>
    \nFill spray bottles with water and a few drops of food coloring for a creative and colorful outdoor activity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bonus: Use a snow day calculator<\/a> to estimate if your kids will have a snow day!<\/p>\n

    Are you sick of snow days?<\/h4>\n

    Consider relocating to Orlando<\/a>, Tucson<\/a> or San Diego<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
