Snow day fun: spotting snowflakes

09/02/202108/02/2021

On the few occasions we get snow in the winter, it tends to be the wet kind of snow that is just right for snowball fights and making snowmen. This week’s snowfall has been dry powdery snow. It might not be good for making snowmen, but it was perfect for being able to take a… Read More

Making the most of the snow: seven snow-day activities

28/01/2021
A bucket and sand toys on the snow

Sophie has been longing for snow since December. It doesn’t snow very often where we are though, which has been disappointing for her. Last Sunday, the snow finally made an appearance though. She was so excited to look out of the window that morning and see that her wish had finally come true. We certainly… Read More

Fun in the snow: making a colourful igloo

Waking up to find it has snowed overnight is always a fun moment for a child. Waking up to snow and being told school is closed for the day is even better! I have to confess that I’m just as much of a big kid when it comes to the snow. I love getting out… Read More

The first snow of the year

I still remember the excitement of the first snow of the year as a child. Would it settle? How long would it last? Would we get any more? Sometimes that first snow was the only snow of the year. Some years we didn’t get any at all. One thing was sure – you had to… Read More

Fun in the snow: building a mini-igloo

I thought we were done with snow for the year. It turned out that Mother Nature had other ideas though with a brief return of the cold winter weather. Clearly this year is making up for those years where we’ve had no snow! One of the nice things about having had so much snow this… Read More

Do you want to build a snowman?

09/03/2018
Me, hubby, Jessica and Sophie with our snowman

The recent snow we had was too powdery to be good for building a snowman. We made the most of it in other ways though. When it finally started to melt last weekend, I thought we might have better luck as the snow was a little wetter. We had to be quick though as the… Read More

Snow painting and fun in the snow

Jessica and Sophie squirting coloured water on the snow

I love seeing snow through my children’s eyes. To them snow is magical and fun and exciting. And as long as I don’t have to travel anywhere in it, I quite enjoy the rare occasions that we get snow. This week we’ve had snow for several days which is almost unheard of. It’s been lovely… Read More
