Easy and Fun Activity for a Snowy Day

Like today! There isn't enough snow to play in, and it's too dry to do much with, so here's an idea: scoop up a bag full and put it on your deck. Get some tupperware containers or baking sheets and make some colored water with food dye or powdered Kool-Aid. Bundle the kids up and give them some spray bottles, sqirt guns or eyedroppers and let them color the snow. Or, try spreading some salt on it to see what happens. Add some water and make mini-snowpeople. The possibilities are endless, and when they start whining that they're cold, make some hot chocolate and laugh at them from your toasty living room. I mean, let them in and give the rosy-cheeked little darlings some hot chocolate and cookies. Or, if it's just too chilly outside, dump the snow in the tub and let them play there.
