The snow is falling, the world outside is a winter wonderland, and your little ones are
bursting with energy! But venturing out might not be the safest option. Fear not, parents!
Here are some fun and engaging indoor activities to keep your preschoolers entertained
while the snow falls:
1. Indoor Snow Day Sensory Play:
DIY Snow Dough: Mix together equal parts cornstarch and conditioner. Add a few
drops of food coloring for a vibrant touch. This squishy, non-toxic dough is perfect for
molding, sculpting, and sensory exploration.
“Snow” Painting: Mix shaving cream with a little water to create a fluffy “snow”
paint. Let your little artists use brushes, fingers, or even toys to create
masterpieces.
Sensory Bin Fun: Fill a bin with cotton balls, white beans, or even shredded paper to
mimic snow. Add some small toy animals or vehicles for imaginative play.
2. Get Creative!
Winter Themed Crafts: Make paper snowflakes, build snowmen out of cotton balls, or
paint winter scenes with blue and white paint.
Finger Painting Fun: Provide your child with white paint and encourage them to
create their own snowy masterpieces.
Storytelling Time: Cuddle up with a good book featuring winter themes like “The
Mitten” or “The Snowy Day.”
3. Moving and Grooving:
Indoor “Snowball” Fight: Crumple up some old socks or tissues for a safe and fun
indoor snowball fight.
“Snow Angels” on Blankets: Spread out a large blanket on the floor and have your
child lie down and wiggle around to make a “snow angel.”
Dance Party: Put on some upbeat winter-themed music and let your little one’s dance
and sing along.
Build a Fort: Use blankets, chairs, and pillows to create a cozy fort for your child to
play in.
I hope this provides you with some inspiration for keeping your little ones entertained
during a snowy day!
