Here are some ideas for you to try.
Mini snow family:
Must easier to make than full size snow man.
Snow Globes:
Use strong glue to attach a plastic toy to the inside of a jar lid, then add baby oil and glitter for a homemade snow globe; it makes a fun souvenir of a great day.
Bird Feeder:
Hollow out an orange and fill with seeds to feed your feathered friends.
Tic Tac Snow:
Two players go for the championship in this classic game. Use crisscrossed sticks and pinecones as game pieces.
Snow Castles:
Borrow some pans from the kitchen. Use them to build crystal fairy castles or to create cakes for a cold-weather "buffet."
Now for the Adults Here are a few tips:
Does the news of heavy snow sound like a chance for fun? Think again. Snow coming down at a rapid pace and strong winds blowing and drifting the snow into piles deep enough to bury cars make for poor visibility and life threatening emergencies.
Make sure that you have candles, matches or lighters, a flashlight, a battery-operated radio, and emergency food supplies and tons of blankets.
In heavy snows stay off the road until driving conditions are safe again.
If you get stranded in your car during a bad snow storm be prepared with plenty of warm clothes and packaged snack foods. It may seem sensible to leave the engine running to keep warm, but it isn't. The danger of carbon monoxide poisoning is high. Snow can block your exhaust pipe and fill the car with deadly fumes. Keeping one window open just a bit will help avoid this. If you keep the engine running you may run out of gas before the storm is over.
Snow Emergency Kits:
batteries, flash lights, battery operated radio/television, bottled water, toilet paper, nonperishable foods such as cereal or crackers, canned goods, a non electric can opener, a small cooler, candles, prescription medicines and any over-the-counter remedies you use regularly; board games, cards & puzzles. And if you have young infants or toddlers - diapers, baby wipes, formula, baby food.
Finally, STAY INSIDE.
