If a snowball falls in the wooded forest of distance learning, does it make a splat?
For that matter, what exactly IS a snow day nowadays?
Whatever a snow day is anymore, one thing's for certain--the kids are BORED.
(To be fair, they've been bored a lot since March 2020).
And you don't just need a list of snow day activities. No, you need a truly EPIC list of things for kids to do on a snow day.
Why? Because they've done everything else they could do in the house. Twenty-one hundred times, as my five-year-old would say. Or more.
So, with that in mind, here is an EPIC compilation of lists of snow day activities for kids. With any luck, you'll find that one thing they haven't done yet!
45 Snow Day Bordom Busters for Kids from Mommy Poppins
Mommy Poppins isn't messing around. You'll find inspiration from the mildly dangerous (toy slingshots) to the fairly ambitious (learning to code). My money's on the over-the-top-cute, which the marshmallow snowman project definitely is!
36 Snow Day Activities To Do With Kids from Her View from Home
Her View from Home has a good mix of crafty and creative, and several low-prep ideas for the quarantine-exhausted. Printables and blanket forts are standbys not to be forgotten, and shaving cream art should be in any pandemic toolkit.
7 Fun Snow Day Activities for Kids from Care.com
The good folks at Care.com have a shorter but somewhat nostalgic list--who doesn't remember feeding the birds on snow days as kids? Snow volcanoes are bound to be a hit.
22 Indoor Snow Day Activities from Lauren Greutman
The list of projects from Lauren Greutman is for the adventurous mommy soul--or anyone else who doesn't mind a lot of finger paint and glitter slime. This list gets points in my slime- and glitter-free home for the paper lanterns and toilet paper ninja turtles. Because who hasn't been hoarding craft supplies for these moments in 2020?
6 Fun Snow Day Activities for Kids from Family Vacation Critic
Let's face it, we all NEED a vacation. So this list of travel-themed activities from Family Vacation Critic might really hit the spot. Nobody else can host the Olympics, so why don't you? And planning a vacation is ALL my kids want to do every other week. These days even five-year-olds need bucket lists. Let's make them!
101 Things to Do on a Snow Day with Kids from The Happy Housewife
Last, but not least, you don't get much more epic than the 101 Things to Do list from the Happy Housewife! And I mean, this is a list. Recipes, books, movies. But perhaps, more importantly, it reminds me of an activity guaranteed to take up a good chunk of the day--teaching the kids to sing 101 bottles of (milk) on the wall. One hundred one bottles of milk. Take one down, pass it around, twenty-one hundred bottles of milk on the wall....
(Clearly, you've sung this with my five-year-old before).
