How to Entertain and Educate Kids During Winter

Winter-it barely started, but with the blizzards in the Eastern part of the United States, and all the crazy weather all over the world, you would think Winter has been here much longer! And it will be here for the next 3-4 months.

I was thinking of my friends that are snowed in, and found an article by Evelyn_Saenz, a retired teacher and homeschooling mom on Wintertime Activities for Kids. I love the creativity of the activities. Evelyn makes learning fun, and this article is just one great example.

Wintertime Poetry, games to play with mittens, activities with fake snow and activities outside in real snow are just a few of the Wintertime activities that Evelyn writes about. Her article is such a great resource for not only homeschooling moms, but anyone that has children stuck in the house because of the weather.

With the long dark nights and cold days parents and anyone that has kids around will appreciate having a variety of activities to do. Older kids can help younger kids if you aren't into the whole "entertaining the kids" thing. Activities like "Winter Time Penguin Math" to Discovery Bottles are ones that I am sure any young child would like.

Regardless of if you yourself are interested, let your kids read the article. The stories Evelyn suggests can be read by you or you can modify the activities to fit your family's lifestyle. I guarantee there is at least one Winter Activity that can save your sanity when the kids get stir crazy!
