It's that time of year. Cold. Wind. Snow. Aching ear canals and nipped fingers. What is a parent to do?
Evelyn loves being outside. She will bundle up to a certain degree (usually pushing her hat off, but that is another story), and play in the snow or walk around the recently-plowed sidewalks until Jon or I make her go inside. That is like 15 minutes outside, though, and she would really rather be out-of-doors for big parts of the day. She is happier outside, sleeps better after she's played outside, and generally behaves better. Not to mention when she is outside, she doesn't ask to watch any dog shows or singing cow cartoons.
Thankfully, Colorado only has a few really bitter cold snaps each winter, and the snow is almost always followed by a lot of sun, but it is still hard to get outside this time of year. So what are some good activities for toddlers to burn off that energy when they can't really play outside?
