Make the Most of the Snow With Seven Snowy Activities!

Use the backyard as a blank canvas for kids to create a masterpiece or two. Comfortably Domestic created a snow-friendly paint that will lead to hours of fun.

Use the ground as a game board. Draw a tic-tac-toe board, and use outdoor objects as the X's and O's. For another live-action game, make a checkers board, and use leaves or rocks as the pieces.

Snowball fights are fun, but there is always a chance that someone gets hurt. Instead, host a snowball toss competition, or turn a dartboard into a target for kids to throw snow at and earn points based on where they land.

Random Handprints found that the white ground sets the scene for a great scavenger hunt. The night before a snowstorm, make colored ice cubes. The next day, hide them in the snow, and send the kids on a hunt to find their frozen treasures.

Channel their inner chef with an oven-free activity. Use cookie cutters to create shapes in the snow. To save their "treats," simply toss them into the freezer.

Take this typical snow-day activity to the next level. Have the kids create the snowman's smiles, eyes, and accessories while wearing a blindfold.
