Winter is here! With it, comes freezing cold and lots of snow! Here are a few ways to keep your kids entertained when you are stuck inside.

❄️ Sensory Bins: Fill a tray with white rice or cotton balls, adding blue/silver shredded paper or small winter toys.

❄️ Sensory Bottles: Fill clear bottles with water, oil, glitter, and small foam snowflakes for a calming visual experience.

❄️ Crafts: Decorate felt trees with Velcro ornaments, use foam shapes with glitter glue, or string beads on pipe cleaners to make Christmas trees.

❄️ Indoor Obstacle Courses: Use cushions and blankets for crawling, balancing, or beanbag toss to get the wiggles out.
