Growing up in Florida, I had no idea what a “snow day” was until I moved up north. I also had no idea of the importance of snow day activities, until I spent a winter stuck inside a tiny apartment with my toddler.

I also became very familiar with this routine:

Dress all the kids up for snow (30 minutes)
Watch kids play in the snow (10 minutes)
Make kids hot chocolate after they come in the from the snow (20 minutes)
Clean up all the wet clothes/ socks/ boots, toys, etc (2 hours)

I realized that I needed a Snow Day Plan, a list of activities that would keep my kids busy when they weren’t outside playing in the snow.

If you are going on week three of winter break, need activities for your kids because school’s been cancelled again, or maybe you live in Florida and want some fun snowy activities keep reading. I’ve compiled a list snow day activities for you.

Most of these snow day activities are simple, quick to put together, and use items you already have in your home.
