Even when temperatures are too cold to be outside kids still have plenty of energy to burn.  So what do you do?  How do you create fun, active experiences for them when they can’t be outside safely?

I found some indoor winter activities to help you give your kids better options than sitting in front of the TV or on the iPad.  Share your kid’s favorite indoor activities in the comments.

• Obstacle course
• Indoor sandbox
• Laughing Hands
• Dress Up Relay
• Raisin Play
• Just add masking tape
• Bashing baked cotton balls
• Paper plate crafts
• Homemade Flubber
• Glow sticks for everything

Hopefully that helps ignite your creativity a little bit.  If your family likes to venture out and about, here are some great indoor options that are outside of the house in the Twin Cities.
