If the weather isn’t great, there a lot you can do indoors! I don’t own any video/computer games so here are some of my favorites:
Snow experiments—
• The Great Melting Race—make two snowballs, one tightly packed, and the other loosely packed. Put them in waterproof bowls. Predict which one will melt faster. Predict how long it will take each one to melt, and time them!
• The Snow/Rain Ratio—do you know how many inches of rain versus snow fall during the winter?
1. Use yard/meter stick and measure the depth of the snow outside.
2. Scoop some loose snow into a cylindrical see-through container, like a canning or mayonnaise jar.
3. Measure how many inches of snow you scooped.
4. Predict how many inches of water the snow will melt down to.
5. Now figure out how much rain would’ve fallen this winter.
While the snow is melting you can enjoy:
• Jigsaw puzzles
• Board games—have you played chess lately?
• Twister
• Crafts of all kinds—I especially love Origami!
Of course, on a nice stormy day, I always love to read a book! What do you like to do on a snow day? Leave me a comment below!
