The cold, winter weather has arrived! It’s beautiful and serene, especially with the holiday season in full swing. But let’s be honest: the colder temps can also make kids stir-crazy!
Gone are the summer days of swinging open the back door and playing outside for hours on end. Snow ball fights, sledding and skiing are great but as the song goes, baby it’s cold outside! Plus, the sun goes down around 5 pm. More often than not, our kids are indoors and looking to be entertained. What’s a mom to do?!
One of the top searches on our
website is for indoor activities during the winter months. We’re
all looking for something to do with our energetic broods. Case in point: just today on our GCMB Team Chat Page, the following comments were made:
- “I’m doing my best to get in the Christmas spirit, but my grumpy kindergartner is making me Scroogy!”
- “Ahhhh my kids are all crazy today!”
Mamas, you are not alone! We all feel the need to find activities in the cold, winter months to keep our active children engaged and entertained.
