  1. Build a snowman
    Go for a walk
    Have a snowball fight
    Ask your children, what they want to do

    pile the snow together to build a fort.

    then use a spray bottle to make it solid

  3. When I was young that was my daily commute to school in Germany. Even in summer. And I had to go uphill. Both ways.

    Just go outside and have fun! Your kids might be teenagers the next time you see that much snow.

    My kid finds something to do in the snow, as long as they’re warm enough. Just let them play.

  5. Build a snowman, color the snow (food coloring in bottles that squirt or spray), make snow angels, have a snowball fight (depending on the temperament of your kids and with a rule of nothing thrown in the face)

  6. Build lots of tiny snowpeople to make up a town or a story 🙂 Add a snow caterpillar, dog, cat, turtle, etc.

  7. As kids our parents would just let us outside in snow gear to do whatever we wanted. They’re kids so if you’re comfortable doing that just let them free and they’ll create their own snow world and snow activities with their imaginations ✨

    To be honest it’s hard to put myself in the kid mind now but we would build tiny hills from which to jump off of, “write” stuff in the the snow by making trails, make trails by walking in the same pattern over and over again, find amazing trees to lie down under and watch the snow fall, build little snow caves we could sit in, and really build like entire snow cities in our heads. 🥹

    Tbh our parents would have just gotten in our way haha. Plus they would always have hot chocolate ready when we came indoors, sometimes 3 hours later…. 

  8. Hills as far the eyes can see and no sledding? Kids not interested or no sled in the house? Your area looks destined to be sled!

    Ich hoffe du hast den Akku aus deinem E-Bike genommen, wenn es dauerhaft bei diesen Temperaturen draußen stehen sollte.

    Building snow caves was my go-to activity when I was a child.

    Sadly I don’t get enough snow to build one with my kids. (Scrapped all snow we had yesterday and today almost all is gone again)
