Grab a cup of cocoa and enjoy a few of these classic Winter books for kids this week!

I don't know about you but one of the first things that comes to my mind when winter hits is cuddling up under the blankets with a good book or two.  And it's an especially great for a fun snow day activity!

So I thought I would share our Vintage Winter Book List this week!

Winter is the perfect time for some simple science experiments -- find out how much water is in snow!

My family will tell you that I'm an amateur weather buff -- I like to observe what Mother Nature dishes out to us. 

Toss in the fact that I also love easy science experiments and a bad weather day at our house quickly turns into a DIY science lab ;)

Get inspired with this list of 33 Fun Things to do in the Winter -- indoor & outside activities plus fun things to do with or without snow!

It's always great to have some creative ideas for keeping kids entertained during bad weather months & school breaks (like these 50 FUN Things to do at Home!)  Whether you're looking for creative indoor activities, fun things to do outside or a few unique ideas for winter vacation days -- these ideas are sure to please, easy to do and will keep your kids thinking & creating on those long winter days.

Grab this free printable Winter Scavenger Hunt list and get outside & hunt down clues to explore seasonal changes in nature!

My kids will be the first to tell you that no matter the weather, we get some outdoor time every day.

It's definately more of a challenge during Winter -- the colder weather and being all bundled up puts a little kink in tree climbing and some of our animal observations but there's still a LOT you can explore -- like doing a science experiment to learn how much water is in snow!

Challenge your kids to get outside this week with this free Winter Scavenger Hunt list!  This is a great activity for all ages - preschoolers, big kids & adults - check off the items to learn how much happens during the cold weather!
