Winter Fun: Snow Picnic

By Kara Murphy, publisher of Macaroni Kid Erie, Pa. February 1, 2021

On a frigid day when my kids were itty-bitty, I simply spread out a plastic picnic tablecloth in our sunroom and filled Tupperware containers with snow. I gave them sand toys and let them just play!

What you need:

  • A plastic picnic tablecloth or tarp
  • Large containers
  • Snow
  • Beach toys (or utensils from your kitchen drawer like spatulas and spoons)

See? It's snow joke! Your kids can play in the snow... and you didn't have to dress them in four layers to go outside to play. What a win!
