Need some fun ideas for keeping the kids busy this winter?
This curated list of 50+ Snowflake Activities are awesome ways to engage the kids in learning fun whether you have snow or not!
If your kids are like my boys, then capturing their attention during the winter months can be a challenge. Before, during, or after the holidays are special times in our home. Lots of energy and excitement for mom to compete against for attention to our homeschool lessons.
And if we've been stuck indoors due to nasty weather, then I've got to get creative. I've discovered that it's so much easier to get their attention and cooperation when our learning includes seasonal and fun holiday themes.
So, in addition to the Snowflake Activities for Marvelous Math Fun that I've added to our winter homeschool fun activities list, I've put together this list of ideas for learning fun with snowflakes. You'll find suggestions for:
- Fun Crafts for Snowflake Activities
- Amazing Books for Snowflake Activities & Reading Fun
- Snowflake Activities for Hands-On Fun
- Learning Fun with Snowflake Activities
- Snowflake Activities for Science Fun
- Videos for Snowflake Activities & Fun!
