It appears that winter is here already. It's freezing and windy here today. So I thought I'd blog about some fun things to do in the winter. Sometimes in the winter, boredom sets in and can make kids whiny. "What can I do?" I hear it a lot in the colder months. And when you homeschool, you are likely to hear it more because you are with your kids more. Anyway, I have been digging around the internet to find some ideas. Here are some links I came up with.http://www.apples4theteacher.com/holidays/winter/#
Paper Snowflakes
This one has some fun stuff to do in the winter. I like the idea of a popcorn, hot chocolate and game night.
Making pine cone bird feeders is a fun thing to do in the winter. Apparently using peanut butter on the pine cones is not a good idea. I've seen some people saying it chokes the birds and can kill them. Here's a better, healthier for the birds, way to do it.
