Now that we live in the Midwest we get our fair share of winter weather, and if we are lucky we get a few snow days too! Coming from Texas and Louisiana my girls don’t see snow very often, so it’s a truly magical experience for them {and me}!
All week long I have shared some of our favorite snow day themed recipes and crafts and today I wanted to share this fun Printable Snow Day Activities Checklist . Download it for free below, then print out and cross off the fun activities you and your kids do on your next snow day. I included both indoor and outdoor ideas along with a few links to my favorite crafts and snow themed snacks. Have fun and stay warm!
