Snow Day!! 2 Classic Ways to Spend a Snowy Day
Once the first flakes of snow tumble from the sky, every child looks forward to hearing those two little words that transform a regular weekday into midweek magic – Snow Day. There is nothing more special than an unexpected day off from school and an extra day with Mom or Dad. Here are two classic ways to spend the day – no batteries required.
Board Games
In addition to hours of fun and family bonding, board games like Cranium and Monopoly teach valuable life skills like taking turns, counting, and how to be a good winner and a good loser. With Cranium spinoffs for family members of all ages and a version of Monopoly tailored to almost any interest, these board games offer something for everyone.
Since their introduction in 1998, the Cranium family of board games has been a hit with parents and children alike. Distinguished by a creative, non-repetitive style of play and filled with unique activities, it is easy to see why Cranium board games have been named Game of the Year multiple times. In Cranium Family Edition, players may find themselves sculpting an animal out of clay, searching the house for an obscure item or trying to make words from letters on a set of dice. Cranium Cadoo offers the same activities only tailored for a younger audience.
For older children, a game of Monopoly is old fashioned capitalism at its finest. Watch as they buy and build their way to being the next Donald trump. Invite the neighbor children over for a friendly game of Monopoly; just be sure to sort the rules out up before you start as many families have developed their own version over the years. For a new twist on this classic game, try Monopoly Here and Now: World Edition which combines the classic game with famous locations from all over the globe.
The Cranium board games and the various versions of Monopoly ignite imagination and inspire creative play long after the board and pieces have been put away. Clear off the dining room table and let the games begin.
Coloring Books
Time tested and mother approved, turning coloring pages into refrigerator masterpieces is a classic snow day activity. Disney coloring sheets enable all your children’s favorite characters to come to life.
After a hard fought snowball fight or time spent sledding in the yard, sit the boys down at the kitchen table with some hot cocoa and a Cars coloring book. They can design the hot rods of the future with hot wheels coloring pages and their imagination. Girls can re-create their favorite Disney princesses just like the movie or make them over in their own image. If princesses are not her thing, offer up a Scooby Doo coloring book and watch as she creates her own ghost hiding in the corner or decides to make Scooby have purple spots.
Time spent coloring offers benefits beyond colorful refrigerator art. Simply coloring a Disney Princess coloring page improves manual dexterity and fosters creative expression. Children can learn valuable lessons about when to stay inside the lines and when to take the color farther while coloring pictures of Scooby Doo. From Disney Princesses to Cars to Scooby Doo, Disney coloring pages provide hours of Snow Day enjoyment.
