Fun Winter Activities!

Owlkids intern, Taylor, has some fun winter tips for you!

Hey readers,

Winter is in full swing, and with the cold and snow of the season comes lots of fun activities you can do outside. Read on for some ideas!

• Build a snow family: take building a snowman a step further by building a whole family! You can build snow-children, snow-pets, and snow-parents.
• Look for animal tracks: look out for footprints in the snow and try to guess which animals they belong to. You can see tracks from dogs, squirrels, rabbits and more!
• Snow hopscotch: hopscotch isn’t just a summer activity! Instead of using chalk, you can trace lines in the snow. Or, to make it harder, you can try to jump into your friend’s footprints instead of boxes.
• Have a snowball-throwing contest: pick a target, like a tree trunk, and see who can hit it with a snowball. Make sure to be respectful and use trees in your own yard.

What are your favourite winter outdoor activities? Let us know in the comments!
