Fun in the Snow!
A Child’s Delight
Is there anything more delightful than watching a child play in the snow? Well, I’m sure there’s probably something, but I’m not sure what. A child wrapped up in three layers of clothing can play in the snow for hours without ever getting tired.
Just look at my grandson’s face with delight and fun written all over it. The memories and fun he is having playing in the wintry white wonderland will last long after it has melted.
Sure adults are glad when the snow’s gone and they can get back to their lives of work and responsibilities, but I’m convinced snow was made for kids anyway. Then again, maybe God made it for the purpose of slowing down a hurried world. There’s no doubt pretty much everything and everybody shuts down when it snows-covered in a blanket of peace and tranquility.
Anyway, with that said, some of the things my grandson enjoys in the snow, in addition to falling down, is riding on a sled pulled by his dad, making snowmen, snow balls, snow cream and snow angels. Oh, and yes, touching the falling snow with his tongue. Those kind of memories can’t be bought.
The next time it snows, if you’re looking for something to entice kids to come inside, making snow cream is the ticket. Food.com has an easy to follow recipe you can check out by clicking here. The recipe is titled Southern Snow Cream. With only three ingredients, even kids can make it. Another fun thing to do indoors would be a snow scavenger hunt. Katrena Allison’s blog has fun activities, no matter the weather, so click on the hyperlink for details on the scavenger hunt. If that’s not enough to keep kids busy, Pinterest is always a great place for creative ideas.
