Does your child not like to get all bundled up to go outside? Or maybe it is too cold to be outside?
Your child can still enjoy the snow by bringing it inside! Fill a container such as a pan, tub, or bowl with snow and bring it indoors. Your child can play with just the snow or you can add small toys and/or containers for them to play with too.
Another idea is letting them paint on the snow! Put water in some small bowls or cups, add a few drops of food coloring, give them paint brushes, and let them be an artist!

Have some fun with the kids indoors, making bird feeders out of pine cones!
-Tie a string to the pine cone to hang it outside when finished.
-Have your child roll the pine cone in peanut butter or honey. (They can also use a spoon or other utensil to spread it on.)
-Then have your child roll the pine cone in birdseed.
*For this activity you can buy pine cones at the store or you and your child can look outside for some! If you want another option other than pine cones, you can also use old toilet paper rolls!
This can be a messy activity, but messy is GOOD! This is a great sensory activity for those little fingers! 😊
January is National Bath Safety Month --Never leave children under 4 years old alone in the tub. Accidents can happen in an instant. --Always wait until the tub is finished filling before putting your child in because the temperature can change as it fills. --Beware of sharp edges, especially with kids. Use a rubber cover for the faucet and avoid hard bath toys. --This information can be found at the website: https://blog.healthalliance.org/national-bath-safety-month/
