Holiday Planning

Fun Things to do in the Winter
When you are confined to the indoors, try one of these activities:
● Have a fashion show with old clothes in the closet
Conduct a treasure hunt
Set up tents in the living room and "camp out"
Put on a concert with items around the house (spoons, buckets, etc.)
Start a new hobby with your kids - scrapbooking, drawing, painting
Plan a day at the gym inside your home - put on the music and exercise
Bake special treats including those for the feathered friends outside
PRETTY PUTTY
Mix together 4 tsp. white glue, 3 Tbsp. cornstarch, and food coloring. Add more of either ingredient to get the desired consistency. Then, squeeze, pull, poke, and roll putty.

SNOW GLOBES
Just in case you don't get any snow, you can still make your own snow scene.
  • empty small jar
  • hot glue gun
  • epoxy glue
  • small plastic toy
  • white rocks, big piece of gravel, plastic tree, etc.
  • glitter (some of the new iridescent ones are beautiful & available at hobby stores)
  • water
  • food coloring if desired
Use hot glue gun to glue rocks and toy to the bottom of jar. (Better have an adult help with the glue gun!) add food coloring.

Spoon in some glitter and use epoxy glue to glue lid onto jar. Be sure to have an adult help with the epoxy glue also. Shake to make it snow!
