INSIDE: Looking for fun and creative indoor or outdoor snow activities for toddlers and preschoolers? Here are a great list fun and easy ways to make snowy days indoors or outdoors even more enjoyable for your kids.
I love winters mostly for the snow. I am not a huge fan of the cold. This Christmas the theme of my gifts were ways to keep mommy warm while she skiis! But snow, I do love. So when we get a big dump of it outside, like we did this year (one good things in 2020!), I love taking the kids out to play in it of course but I also love bringing snow inside!

Outdoor Snow Activities
There are tons of things you can do with snow outdoors. Sledding, build a snowman or a snow fort to name a few. But this list is all about the ideas you probably would never think of to do with your kids. Things such as building a bird feeders or making snow volcanoes or making frozen snow bubbles! This list is sure to keep your little one learning and playing in the snow all winter long!
Indoor Snow Activities
Have you ever brought snow inside your house to play with? It’s a lot easier than you think and tons of fun! All you need is a sensory bin (see below) and a few towels. And once armed with this list you will have tons of super easy ways to keep your toddler or preschooler entertained in doors during snowy or blustery days when going outside to play in the snow isn’t possible.
