Our Favorite Activities To Keep Kids Active

Sledding & Snowball Fights

Nothing SCREAMS winter more than sledding down snowy terrains or having an epic snowball fight with your buddies. Your kids can easily burn off a lot of energy from these activities. Make sure to bundle up with warm clothes, hats, and gloves to keep the fun going stronger and longer.

Jumbaloo fam, while your kids have a blast enjoying these winter activities, make sure to stay vigilant and supervise.

Build Snowmen, Forts, and Igloos!

Create your very own snow-tastic buddy with a carrot nose, or build an igloo for a quick trip to the Arctic right in your backyard! Let your little ones flex their creativity and teamwork as they sculpt and shape their cute little snowman. While they’re at it, don’t forget to throw in cool accessories like plaid scarves, hats, and maybe a pair of gloves.

Go Ice Skating (Adult Supervision Needed!)

Take your kids to a local playground with an ice rink or a frozen pond and let them skate to their heart’s content. Ice skating builds coordination, balance, and above all, confidence. You can make the whole thing super exciting by setting fun goals, teaching them a new trick, or creating a mini obstacle course. While they’re having a blast on the ice rink, ensure close supervision. Kids should wear helmets and layered clothing to keep things safe and fun.

Stay Inside and Get Crafty

On extra frosty days, keep your kids busy with indoor crafts. Turn your home into a whimsical workshop and create a mini ‘craft’ stop to keep everything organized. Let them create cute little mugs for hot cocoa, decorative lanterns for their rooms, or winter-themed puzzles. Let them shine their artistic side with glitter, paint, and a ton of stickers.

Buckle Up For Winter Sports

For your adventurous little ones, nothing tops skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing. Beginners can take lessons while experienced ones can zoom their way into new trails and tricks. Once again, make sure that everyone has got proper gear for added comfort and safety.

Bake Yummy Treats

After a day of crazy winter fun, get cozy with homemade goodies. Let your kids help you with cookies, cupcakes, muffins, or even a warm batch of cinnamon rolls. Keep them hands-on from start to finish. Let them mix, measure, and decorate the yummy treats with frosting, sprinkles, and more—the possibilities are endless!
