I am really looking forward to some fun snow day activities this year. For the most part, I despise winter and really can’t stand the cold. BUT, a snow day home with my kids with no obligations but to bundle up and drink hot cocoa? That is something I can get behind.
I searched around and found some really awesome snow day activities for kids so I am prepared and ready to go as soon as the first snowflake falls.
