Winter may not be everyone’s favorite season: it’s cold, the snow can be frustrating and the slush may be troublesome. Try not to dwell on the negatives of winter, there are still plenty of fun activities that families can enjoy together throughout the season.

Do you want to build a snowman? Building a snowman can be a fun activity for everyone to get involved in. From rolling up the snowman’s body to adding on its facial features everyone can participate. This doesn’t just have to be an outdoor activity, but can be one done inside with marshmallows, cotton balls, felt and other craft supplies around the house.

Go Sledding! Sledding is not only fun and exciting, but also a great form of exercise that is actually enjoyable and doesn’t seem like you’re working out! Find the perfect sledding hills, grab some sleds, bundle up and make some memories.

Strap on the Skates. Another fun winter exercise is ice skating. Hit up a near by ice rink or frozen lake and go skating! Best part about it, you don’t have to be an amazing skater to have fun!
Family Game Night: Sometimes the weather is too cold its dangerous to go outside. Stay in and have a game night with the kids. Pull out Monopoly, Twister and many more. Playing inside can be just as fun as the outdoors!
Build a fort! Everyone loves hanging out in a fort, even the adults. On mild winter days, you can build one outside in the snow, or you can use furniture in the house, like couch cushions, blankets or chairs. For special ideas, check out pinterest for some fort ideas.
Make and at-home movie theatre. Have a relaxing movie night! During the holidays, there are tons of great Holiday movies for everyone to enjoy. Turn your living room into a cozy movie theatre by adding some extra cushions and blankets, turning off the lights, and passing around the popcorn. Make sure you turn off your cell phones, and don’t forget the hot chocolate!
