CHILLS ’N THRILLS New Winter Wonders Await
can be a delight, as they often resemble broken glass as they cascade to the ground. If this activity sounds like a great time, ensure your kids are well protected from the elements so they don’t get too cold while creating their makeshift shards. BOLD ART ON THE SNOW If heavy snowfall has kept your kids from attending school for the day, why not turn their time away from class into a fun opportunity to use the mounds of flakes as a yard-length white canvas? All they’ll need to create art in the snow are squirt bottles, food coloring, and their imaginations. If you’re short of food coloring, your kitchen offers plenty of art supplies. For example, you can smash up blueberries and mix them with water to create natural purple “paint,” use tomatoes to make a red solution, and strawberries can add a touch of pink. Just be sure any ingredients your children use are safe for the environment — and watch as they create their own Picassos on your property!

FROZEN BUBBLE FUN While adults may not care much for freezing temperatures, kids who dress warmly enough can find plenty of fun things to do in cold weather besides building another Frosty in the front yard. If the air is frigid enough, they may be able to blow bubbles that will freeze mid-air. Watching frozen bubbles pop
