Snowman Activities

We don’t get snow where we live in California, which drives my kids crazy. They are always asking when we can take a trip to go see snow again. Until that day, they have to settle for fun winter activities and making snowmen from other materials. These Snowman Activities are a fun way to get kids excited for a snow day or help them deal with the absence of snow in their lives. Best of all, no shoveling! Be sure to check out this Stacking Snowman activity for more snowy fun!

If you are looking for more fun ways to engage your kids, I highly recommend KiwiCo. As a former teacher, I was really impressed with the quality of materials found in KiwiCo. Some moms have told me that they want to do activities like I do on Mess For Less with their kids, but they just don’t have to the time to go buy all the supplies and prepare them for the activity. KiwiCo is the perfect solution.

Every month your KiwiCo will focus on a particular theme like Colors, Dinosaurs or Gardening. KiwiCo offer a variety of projects ranging from crafts, imaginative play, science experiments and more.
