    Good morning,
    I hope that you are staying warm and safe. We will see everyone on Thursday!!
    Here are 10 fun and engaging indoor activities to do with children when it's too cold to go outside:

    1. Build a Fort
    Use blankets, pillows, and furniture to create a cozy fort. Add some fairy lights or flashlights for ambiance and enjoy snacks or a story time inside.
    2. Have a Movie Marathon
    Pick a theme (e.g., animated classics, superhero movies) and set up a mini home theater with popcorn and cozy blankets.
    3. Bake Together
    Choose a kid-friendly recipe like cookies, cupcakes, or homemade pizza. Let the kids help with mixing, decorating, and, of course, taste-testing.
    4. Create an Arts and Crafts Station
    Set up a space with paper, crayons, markers, glue, and other materials. Try making holiday decorations, DIY cards, or simple origami.
    5. Science Experiments
    Conduct simple science experiments like making slime, baking soda and vinegar volcanoes, or DIY lava lamps using household items.
    6. Treasure Hunt or Scavenger Hunt
    Hide small items around the house and give the kids clues to find them. You can also make it educational by incorporating riddles or challenges.
    7. Dance Party
    Create a playlist of upbeat songs and have a fun dance-off. It's a great way to burn energy and lift everyone's spirits.
    8. Board Games and Puzzles
    Pull out family-friendly board games or work on a big puzzle together. It's a great way to bond and practice problem-solving skills.
    9. Storytelling or Puppet Shows
    Use toys, stuffed animals, or DIY sock puppets to create a story or mini theater production. Kids can make up their own scripts or act out a favorite book.
    10. Indoor Obstacle Course
    Set up a safe and creative obstacle course using furniture, cushions, or tape on the floor. Include challenges like crawling under tables or hopping on one foot between markers.
