10 outdoor snow activities for kids

If you're looking for boredom busters for kids for snow days, or any other winter day when there's too much snow on the ground than you know what to do with, this collection of outdoor snow activities for kids is just what you need!

I don’t know about you, but I am not a fan of winter.

Snow, ice, and windchill warnings.

Mitts, scarves, boots, and winter coats.

Everyone coughing and sneezing all over us whenever we go outside.

Those little, painful cracks that infest my hands from using so much hand sanitizer.

Hair static.

Winter weight gain.

I hate all of it.

But whenever I say the words “it’s snowing!”, my little girl’s face lights up like a Christmas tree, so I’m trying really hard not to dampen her spirits.

The good news is that we live in a condo, so I don’t have to spend a great deal of time outdoors, but for those rare occasions when we make the trek to my in-laws so we can enjoy a little time in their backyard, I decided to gather some good snow activities for us to enjoy.

I hope you can enjoy them too!

1. Potato Head Snowmen (Happy Hooligans)

2. DIY Snow Paint (The SITS Girls)

3. Ice Luminaries (One Little Project)

4. Blow a Frozen Bubble (What Do We Do All Day?)

5. Snowy Obstacle Course (The Inspired Treehouse)

6. Snow Jewels Winter Play (Growing a Jeweled Rose)

  • .⠀ ‘I’VE GOT THAT FRIDAY FEELING.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ Happy Friday, ya’ll! It’s a date night for us, and then we’re doing absolutely NOTHING for the rest of the weekend, and I couldn’t be more excited. Anyone else prefer staying home on winter weekends?? 🙈
  • .⠀ ‘IF SOMEONE IS JUDGING YOU, THAT’S THEIR PROBLEM. DON’T MAKE IT YOURS.’ —Mel Robbins⠀ .⠀ As the black sheep in my family, I used to spend a lot of time worrying about other people’s opinions of me. I always felt like I needed to explain myself, even when I felt like my intentions were good and my heart was in the right place.⠀ .⠀ Last year, I read 2 quotes that really resonated with me:⠀ .⠀ ‘You will be “too much” for some people. Too loud, too soft. Too this, too that. But you’ll always be perfect for the people who need you.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ ‘I no longer sit at tables where I might be the topic when I get up.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ They say that the people you spend the most time with are who you’ll become, so make sure you choose your tribe wisely. Seek out the people who lift you up and remind you that you and your opinions matter, and pay no attention to the ones who roll their eyes and try to make you feel small to make themselves feel big. ⠀ .⠀ Be unapologetically YOU in whatever you do, and when you feel someone judging you, remember that that’s THEIR problem, and not yours. 💙
  • .⠀ ‘WHAT IF TODAY WE ARE JUST GRATEFUL FOR EVERYTHING?’ —Charlie Brown⠀ .⠀ Wishing my Canadian peeps a very happy Family Day! 🥰 Remember to count your blessings today - and always!
  • .⠀ ‘BE MESSY AND COMPLICATED AND AFRAID AND SHOW UP ANYWAYS.’ —Glennon Doyle⠀ .⠀ 👆🏻THIS!⠀ .⠀ Also, if you haven’t read every single book, post, and quote by @glennondoyle what are you waiting for?!
  • .⠀ ‘YOUR MIND IS A POWERFUL THING. WHEN YOU FILL IT WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS, YOUR LIFE WILL START TO CHANGE.’ —Unknown⠀ .⠀ Have you ever had one of those weeks where everything you touch turns to sh*t? Last week was that week for me! No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t manage to keep my head above water. I felt like I was drowning in motherhood, laundry, grocery shopping, meal prep, and work deliverables, and by Thursday morning I’d officially reached my saturation point.⠀ .⠀ But instead of throwing myself on the floor and having a full-blown temper tantrum like I wanted to, I went for a walk and only allowed myself to think about all of the GOOD things in my life.⠀ .⠀ It was a bad week, not a bad life!⠀ .⠀ Rachel Hollis once said, ‘You, and only you, are ultimately responsible for who you become and how happy you are’, and if you’re struggling like I was last week, I hope these words remind you to change your mindset.⠀ .⠀ Look for your blessings - they’re always there, even if you have to dig a little deeper to find them some days! 💙
