Hopefully you've had a chance to collect some great books about Winter. I think that the best activity for exploring winter is simply getting outside!
-If you live in an area that gets snow, as we do, playing in the snow, making snowballs, building snowmen and yes, eating the snow are all wonderful fun.
-While outside, look for animal footprints and try to figure out what you're seeing, where animals might be living/hibernating nearby, and what they might be eating.
-Make a pinecone birdfeeder so that you can observe birds right outside your window! Simply find a pinecone (or substitue with some other item that you can cover and hang), help your child cover it with peanut butter and then help them roll it in birdseed. Hang anywhere that will allow you to observe the birds enjoying it!
Don't forget to enjoy some hot cocoa when you come inside!
