Winter is here! There’s no doubt that Winter has arrived in the US based on the temperatures the past week. Here are several playful ways to explore science with ice and snow with your child.
We were lucky enough to sneak away from Florida for the holidays to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and enjoy our own Winter Wonderland in their two snow storms. It was the first time either of my girls had seen snow at ages 4 and 8 and honestly my 22 year old and husbands haven’t seen it much either so it was a special trip for all of us.
Usually we have to pretend a bit down here in Florida with pretend snow fun. {Click here} or watch a few snow videos .
Did you see the images we shared on instagram from our recent snow adventures? {Click Here} Even I braved the hill after far too many years to count. What is your favorite outdoor activity in the snow? Of course we wanted to bring a little bit of the snow and cold home with us so here are a few activities to hopefully remind us of all the fun and learn a little bit at the same time.
