Snow days have come and gone… but are you ready for another round? It looks like more flurries may be heading our way and we wanted to share a list of some things to do with your kiddos to make the most out of some unexpected time together.

1) Want to stay indoors?

  • Build a fort – grab blankets, pillows, and snuggle up
  • Play games with the entire family
  • Dedicate an hour or two to reading books
  • Dig through drawers and closets and make a craft
  • Watch a special movie… anything you can to pass time and stay warm

2) Brave enough to venture out?
Sometime our big snow falls are a little… err… underwhelming. If the roads aren’t that bad by you – be a tourist in your own town! Check out some of the great historic sites and spaces we have nearby.

Just be sure to call ahead to make sure the places you want to see are open.

3) Find a hill.

  • Put on ALL your layers.
  • Grab a sled from your local hardware shop
  • Find a killer slope to slide down.  Enjoy!

Take some hot chocolate in an insulated mug to stay warm and have fun on these rare southern snow days.

4) Call a sitter.
If you’ve been locked up a need a break… remember… high school students have the day off, too! Reach out to:

  • Friends and family
  • Church groups
  • HOA/Community Facebook pages

Find a responsible teen or adult nearby who can help you out so you can get to WORK!

Need more ideas? Pinterest is always a great resource… though in my experience I have to set some realistic expectations! Happy Snow Day, Williamson County!
