When it's cold, the chances are that your little ones are less inclined to want to go and play outside. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as you probably don't want them catching a cold from the cool winter air! Luckily, when the weather is particularly frosty and you are cooped up inside with restless kids, there are some fun arts and crafts that will keep them entertained for hours. Here are just a few ways in which to keep your kids busy in winter.
'Simon Says' Drawing Do you remember the fun game from Telegram Number Data your youth called 'Simon Says'? Now you can add a bit of creative flair to it with this variation: Find large sheets of paper for your kids, and lay out their crayons, colouring pencils and coloured felt tips. You can be 'Simon' and say things like 'Simon says: draw circles!' then everyone has to draw circles on their page until you give the next command. Tip: Make it extra fun by having a purpose for the game. For example: drawing a house. 'Simon says draw a square, Simon says draw windows' etc. Ice Cream Stick Puppets This one takes some pre-planning.
Collect as many ice-cream sticks from the summer months as you can. Set out bits and bobs such as glue, pieces of felt fabric, beads, glitter, and coloured felt tip pens, buttons and string. Let your children make their own puppets. If you want, you can then let them put on a puppet show for you! Paper Plate Fish and Masks Give your little ones a whole stack of white paper plates. Let them paint the paper plates in any colours that they wish. With supervision, instruct them to cut out a rectangle where the mouth must be.
