Do you need ideas for playing outside in winter?

For a parent, winter can seem like a good time to stay warm and cozy inside. For a child, winter can be a magical time to get outside. Outside time is great for everyone, so bundle up, parents, and try to see winter through the eyes of your children!

Did you know that physical play promotes overall good health, stimulates healthy brain development and enhances creativity?

We are a winter city and winter can be a beautiful and fun time to play outdoors. Some activities that you could explore are:

• tobagganing

• creating an igloo

• make snow angels by laying in the snow and opening and closing your arms and legs

• colouring the snow with food colouring and water in a spray bottle

• going on a snowy walk
