Fun ideas for winter time
Have a Nice Day!
I need some ideas for fun stuff to do with kids in the winter that is low or no cost.
I want to share these ideas with the Pa-Unschoolers list, as this is something we are discussing right now.
There is not always snow here, and its cold, dreary, and often rainy, so outside stuff is not often an option.
What kinds of things can we do to avoid cabin fever??
Thanks!
Kristen

Today is even more important than tomorrow because "today" is a gift, and "tomorrow" might never come.
Today is where hope lives because today is when we can make things better than yesterday.
The only thing we can be sure of is today and life isn't worth living if it isn't lived in joy for as many moments of today as we can manage.

When you have snow, or can get to snow, snowshoeing is wonderful because
you don't need any special skills to strap on the shoes and go have fun.
Rental isn't expensive and most places offer group rates if you ever get
together with others for the day. We went snowshoeing on Christmas
day... Wonderful!
Don't be afraid to tell rental places you're looking for the best price.
Tell them you're homeschoolers, ask for a discount, you'll be surprised
how well it works.
Indoor ice rinks are fun, if you have one in a mall nearby.
We go to the indoor climbing wall at a mountaineering shop. The wall is
fifteen dollars per hour but we only ever paid the full price once, our
first time, and since then we often go for free, because we know the slow
times and because Dylan isn't loud or wild and any friends he takes are
nice too.
There are indoor archery ranges, look in your yellow pages or call a
sporting goods shop.
There are go cart tracks, and while the one near me (54 miles away) is
outdoor I've heard of indoor tracks. Make an appointment and go as a
group and get a good rate.
Paint Ball!
Bowling, if you like that.
Dinner theater.
Hot springs! Nothing like a skinny dip on a cold and rainy day.
Swimming, in a suit, at the public pool.
Spelunking. And if no one's experienced, a guided tour through a cavern.
A one time visit to a belly dancing class.
Dinner out where said belly dancers entertain.
Hike. Yes it can be wet, but that's half the fun.
Go play basket ball at the community gym.
Go to the police station and get a tour.
Go to the fire department and do the same.
We've gone on picnics on the coldest of cold days. There is a big
shelter, open at one end with a big fire pit that was built by the snow
mobile club up at a campground near us. We've gone there on cold day's
with thermos's full of hot soup or stir fry, built a fire, had fun.
The Forest Service rents cabins for recreational use. They're often
booked during hunting season, but you can get them for just one day,
build a fire, live like pioneers for a few hours. Take a deck of
cards.<g>
Visit an animal rescue center and play with the puppies. Take them a
bag of critter food and stay all day.
Visit a ghost town.
Go to the Zoo. (our nearest zoo is six hours away)
Go to a pet store where they'll let your kids hold the parrots and
ferrets.
Call your wildlife biologist and find out where the nearest raptor center
is. Go look at awesome birds.
Or just go talk to the biologist. He can tell you about great places to
go watch wildlife. He'll give you free posters.
Free posters from the Forest Service office too!
Go see your county extension agent. They sometimes have cool bug
collections.
The vet has gross posters about hoof and mouth disease and tape worms and
wood ticks. They're FREE!
You're boys will love you!
See how much free stuff you can find in one day!
Make sock puppets and put on a puppet show. We still have old paper bag
puppets from years ago. Mr. Glad Sack, Mr. Bad Sack, Mr. Mad Sack...
Pull out the sheets and drape your furniture and make tunnels all over
the house. Your cats will love it too.
Visit a fish hatchery.
Go to a music store and play every instrument.
Go to a game store and play every board game you've never seen before.
Video arcade! They're still around, one near me still has a Pac Man
game!
Go to tall buildings and ride the express elevators.
Go to an underground parking garage and sing, or if you can't sing howl
like hyenas.
Find a pond and feed ducks.
Join a gun club and target shoot.
Craft stores offer kid classes.
Home improvement stores offer building projects for kids.
Fiber arts stores let you try their looms.
Electronics stores let you drive the little radio controlled cars.
Visit a cabinet maker.
Make candles.
Make soap.
Make ice cream.
Make paper.
Make a braid rug.
Microwave old cd's then make a mobile.
Paper mache!
Have a barbecue.
Visit art galleries, museums, national historic sites.
Call around to the museums in your area and find out what programs they
offer. Get on their mailing lists and go to the events.
Call the universities and do the same.
Find an astronomy club and go to star parties.
I have found so many interesting things to do around our little town just
by talking with people and asking questions. I ask everyone questions
about what they like to do, etc. I have met so many people with
interesting hobbies who have been happy to share what they know with my
son and show him their collections.
The man who runs the local green house, lets us help transplant
seedlings. He grows worms too, and lets Dylan dig around in the worm
beds.
The guy who works at the newspaper speaks Chinese and draws cartoons.
He's given Dylan lots of pointers about where to get good paper and story
boards, etc.
The old guy at the antique shop was a college professor and is a huge
Montana History buff, whenever Dylan has questions, we go browse the
antiques. <g>
The lady at the flower shop keeps birds and lets Dylan hold them when we
visit.
The mayor builds stock cars. He sometimes drives them to work. When we
see one parked on main street we stop in and say hello.
The old guy across the street collects Chalmers tractors and the man at
the sandwich shop collects John Deere. They love to show kids their
toys!
Cool things are everywhere, summer and winter. David and Dylan went to
the tennis court on Sunday and tried to play with snow balls. There's
no snow now so what ever we do this weekend will be wet and chilly, but
we'll find something.

Wow, Deb!! This message is worth its weight in gold! ...Oh. Well, I
guess it doesn't weigh anything, does it. But if it did, it would be worth
its weight in gold! How would you feel about adopting a 45-year-old
musician and an 8-year-old boy and a 3-year-old cat? :-)
Thanks for putting together this message!

I am printing this list and going to refer to it often
Deb! Wow, you are a genius!
The staples of our wardrobe in the winter are
rainboots and raincoats. We slodge around outside no
matter the weather and love it! We also seek out those
in our community who have interesting hobbies or gifts
and we get together with them and see what they are up
to. I have never had anyone turn me away.

Deborah, this is such an awesome, inspiring list of really great
ideas! Would you mind if I cross-posted it to some of our other
homeschooling lists? I think it's just what many people are looking

That'd be fine Helen.
I live in a small town, less than four thousand people, and that includes
the farms and ranches round about.
I know folks who live in bigger cities can find other interesting things
to do.
