Winter Pandemic Boredom Busters for Kids

When you are planning activities for kids this winter…make distanced activities a priority. Which can be tough when they want to have fun with friends. However, some things (sledding, ice skating, making snowmen) can be distanced if each family has their own area but done in the same vacinity as friends.

Ideas to keep kids busy in winter during the pandemic

  1. Go sledding
  2. Make snow angels
  3. Build a snowman
  4. Construct a snow fort
  5. Draw in snow with spray bottles filled with food coloruing and water
  6. Hide Geocache treasures in the snow
  7. Play a board game
  8. Read a book
  9. Challenge a family member to a video game
  10. Build a tower using a deck of cards
  11. Bake something with an adult
  12. Make a craft using cardboard toilet paper rolls
  13. Decorate a cardboard box (make it a house, race car, space ship)
  14. Set up a treasure hunt inside the house
  15. Play games with friends via zoom (pictionary, rock/paper/scissors)
  16. Play Simon Says
  17. Dance in the living room

Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And wit Do you have a hard time saying "No"? I do. And with my recent concussion...I've had a lesson of setting (and sticking to) boundaries. 

Also, I'm learning kids need reminders of boundaries too. (Auto-regulation with virtual school is a CHALLENGE here!)

There are times to do things and there are times NOT to do things. There are times to say yes and times when it is totally OK to say no. 

What kind of boundaries are you setting?
Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if Daughter was in a funk yesterday so I asked her if she wanted to colour my hair. Because pandemic. 

Navigating emotions is a challenge now (I believe @ericaehm has written about this). Teens are cut off from routine, in-person school, social circles. And add in being home with parents and siblings all the time. It's tough for all.

Luckily here, we seem to be rotating feeling the funk so when one is down someone else boosts them up.

Like "hey wanna colour my hair?!".

It's too dark in my opinion...but who cares..it's only hair...and I'm not going anywhere. And it was something different to do in a day.

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.

Also, yes gyms are still closed in Toronto. This is our Karate dojo.

 (which is limited to offering Zoom classes to members now.)

Support small biz, like ours, when you can because small shops need your business more than big box stores.
