Don’t
Hibernate! Some Ideas for Family Winter Outdoor Fun
(ARA) -
This
winter season don’t let your family hibernate inside. Why not put all that
fresh snow to good use? Bundle everyone up and participate in some fun activities
the whole family will enjoy. There
are all kinds of ways for kids and parents to enjoy the outdoors together in the
winter. Along with the typical winter sports, there are also games and creative
projects that children really enjoy -- and the exercise is good for them too.
Here
are some ideas from the experts at Wham-O to help get kids off the couch and outside
for interactive snow play this winter: - Head
for the sledding hill. Now with so many sledding options, the whole
family will have a blast whooshing down snow-covered hills. In fact, kids and
parents can ride together on the huge, double-walled Turbosaucer Snow Saucer.
Or cause a storm of excitement with the 43 inch SnowBoogie Thunder, a super-light,
shock absorbing foam sled with an ultra-fast SpeedSlick bottom, sure to produce
thunderous applause and crowd-pleasing cheers all winter long.
- Don’t
leave the little tots in the “snow” dust. A Baby Sled is
a great way for parents to safely introduce their young toddlers to sledding,
while smaller sleds, such as the Sledz Racer Jr. and the Snowboogie Racer Jr.,
let younger kids hit the slopes by featuring lightweight foam designs to absorb
shocks and a Speedslick bottom for maximum fun.
- Build
a cutting-edge snowman with a Snowman Kit. Kids can let their imaginations
run wild as they build a snowman sporting a Mohawk, earring, nose rings and sunglasses.
The Snowman Kit, which contains weather-tough plastic components, also comes in
a traditional version with a black top hat and scarf, for a more classic-looking
snowman.
- Build
a classic snow fort -- all you’ll need is snow. Create a big mound
and pack it down by stepping, jumping and even rolling on it. Once a solid, round
pile has been created, make a doorway and begin tunneling into the mound. Continue
to shovel snow out of the center and pack it on top. Once inside, use a smaller
shovel to make a space inside. You can cover the floor with a straw mat and poke
holes through the ceiling and sides to make skylights and windows. Snow fort walls
should be at least one foot thick.
