Cabin Fever

Things For Young Kids To Do Indoors On A Cold Day

1) Go on an indoor camping trip - Are you looking for free indoor activities? Just because its 23 degrees outside doesn't mean you cant go camping. Transform a room in your house into the coolest campground ever! Set up a small tent for your kids to play in. If you don't have a tent on hand, create one using sheets and blankets. Create a simple lean-to type tent by draping the sheet from the back of the couch to the floor so that the couch, sheet and floor make a triangle tunnel which your kids can crawl through. Get flashlights out to play with. Cut stars out of construction paper to hang around the room. Place pillows in a circle on the floor outside the tent for everyone to sit on while they tell stories. Sure you won't have a fire to cook on, but you can still eat like you're camping. Warm up some hot dogs. and don't worry about skipping the s'mores. Something tells me fresh baked chocolate cookies will suffice. Take the time to talk about all the things you love about camping. Even if you can't actually do them on your indoor camping trip, at least you will know what your kids enjoy about camping and you can start planning your next real camping trip, complete with their favorite things. They will love it! For more ideas Click Here.
