More Snow Day Fun!

Here are some more ideas for Snow Days! Braydon and I water colored some paper that I turned into snowflakes. I think I am going to string them up and hang them on our fireplace. It was an easy project. Braydon loves to watercolor and it is relatively clean project then I just fold and cut them out myself.

Another fun thing we did today was I let him have a massive bubble bath. I just poured some baby shampoo under the water to create bubbles. He loved it! Bubble Baths are treat in our house so Braydon was totally into it. Just remember it WILL be messy and go with and it makes it more fun for everyone.

We also listened to our Wiggles CD this morning while we were painting and bathing. Here is their official site to order videos, Cd's etc. They also have much more for your little ones to do. http://www.thewiggles.com.au/us/home/  Braydon just loves them!

I am realizing it doesn't need to be something huge to be fun, just something out of the ordinary.

Snow Day

We have experienced our first snow days! We are a bunch of restless people when cooped up in a house I have found. The first day is exciting. We laid in bed and watched the snow fall, even Braydon sat by the window and watched the snowflakes float down. We made french toast sticks with "snow" (powdered sugar) on top for breakfast, make art out of glitter glue, blue finger paint, potato buds and a paint brush and we played out in the snow. Day 2 was another story. We were sick of being inside, it was too cold to go outside and play for any long period of time and so we just sat inside watching movies trying not to get on each other's nerves. Day 3 we had had it! We went out and ran errands which seemed like the best outing EVER at the time. We went to the bank then the grocery store.

This mixture is 4 eggs, 1 tbsp of Vanilla Extract, dash of Cinnamon and dash of Nutmeg. Makes 4-5 slices of French Toast.

Coat both sides of the bread with the egg mixture.

Remember to use a medium heat so they don't burn.

Slice cooled French Toast into "sticks" to make them easier for little hands to eat. Put powdered sugar on top or strawberries for an extra yummy treat!

Well I am preparing for the next storm! While others are getting their candles, flashlights and food together I am brainstorming activities,recipes and crafts we can do so we don't go crazy. I'll be posting my ideas the next couple of days. I hope they help you when you are cooped up too!

The first activity is Snow Day Match game.
