My Top Five Things to do on a Snow Day 1. Snow play This is top of my list and most obvious. Children can’t wait to get outside and throw snowballs, make snow angels, build snowmen and generally roll around in the snow. My daughter even managed a pre-breakfast snow play session. We tend to do a number of short plays through the day as little fingers and toes get cold quickly. If you are feeling particularly adventurous and own a child’s bathroom step (Ikea curved ones are best) then it’s possible to turn it upside down, fill it with snow and make blocks to construct a whole igloo. 2. Baking We love baking together but it’s something that we rarely have enough time for in between homework, bath times and swimming lessons. Snow day activities are all about keeping snug and cosy at home. It’s so much fun baking biscuits or cakes and eating them whilst they are still slightly warm. Your major restriction is whether you have enough ingredients already in your cupbo
