Fun Activities
For Kids During Winter Break
Winter Break
can be a hard time for parents to keep the kids actively learning but also
having fun and enjoying their break. Here are some simple ideas and things to
do to keep the kids busy all winter long.
Playdough
Playdough is such a simple activity and
if you make it at home it can be a fun math and science activity too. The
recipe is really simple and if you store it correctly it will last a lot longer
than store bought dough.
Give your kids some cookie cutters and
let them have fun molding and creating new things.
Art Day
Get out all the art supplies and let
the kids have total control over a drawing or a picture. Kids don’t get much
time to be totally creative anymore so this would be fun to use their skills to
draw or create something cool. You could even look up cartoon character
drawings online to help give them ideas if needed. Let them water-color or even
have a painting day!
Practice Reading/Math Skills
It’s always a good idea to keep the
learning skills up while on break. Something easy and fun for the kids to do is
a wordsearch like this Christmas word search. Kids will practice their reading and spelling skills as they
search for the words.
