Winter is in full swing! Make the most of this frosty season by staying active and embracing the outdoors. Here are a few activities that you can do with your kids to help them enjoy the winter weather.

Snow Sensory Bin

Sensory bins are one of our favourite activities. The possibilities are endless when it comes to creativity and it provides loads of entertainment. If it's super chilly outside this activity can also be brought indoors. I love using large bins like this under the bed storage box because it allows for easier play and the mess stays contained.

Fill up your bin with snow and use scoops (measuring cups work well) to create shapes. Next, fill up a couple of smaller Rubbermaid containers with water and food colouring and paint the snow with Beauti-Tone Paint Brushes. The application is easy and the colours are very vibrant.

More ideas for this sensory bin: add your child’s favourite toy characters, cars, or other toys they are currently playing with. Nature elements are also a fun addition! If you are doing this indoors where it is a bit warmer you could also add containers with warm water. My daughter loves to dip the snow into the water to create little slushy ice balls.
