As the cooler months approach, it can be challenging to keep kids active and entertained while staying warm. However, there are plenty of activities you can do with your children to keep them active, engaged, and warm during Autumn and Winter. Here are some tips for keeping your kids warm while enjoying fun activities during cooler weather.
- Go on nature walks
Nature walks are a great way to get some exercise and fresh air while enjoying the beautiful autumnal colours. Encourage your children to collect leaves, twigs, and other natural materials to create art projects at home. Make sure to dress in warm layers!
- Have a movie marathon
When it's too cold to go outside, have a movie marathon with your children. Choose a series of movies or TV shows that the whole family can enjoy and snuggle up with some blankets and hot chocolate. It's a perfect way to bond as a family and relax together.
- Bake treats together
Baking treats is a fun and tasty way to spend a cool afternoon indoors. Let your children help measure ingredients, mix the batter, and decorate the finished product. Plus, a bonus having the oven on allows for a little extra warmth in the kitchen.
- Visit indoor attractions
When the weather is too chilly to enjoy outdoor activities, take your children to indoor attractions such as museums, aquariums, and play centres. These types of attractions provide an opportunity to learn, explore and get loads of energy out while staying warm.
- Build a cubby house/fort inside
Building a cubby house/fort is a classic indoor activity that kids of all ages enjoy. Use blankets, pillows, and other household items to create a cozy fort. Encourage your children to bring in books, snacks, and board games for a fun-filled afternoon.
- Go ice skating
Ice skating is a fun outdoor or indoor activity depending where you live in Australia that can be enjoyed in cooler weather. Take your children to an indoor or outdoor ice skating rink and enjoy some exercise while having fun on the ice. Make sure to dress in warm layers and wear comfortable, waterproof shoes!
- Play board games
Playing board games is an excellent way to bond with your children while staying warm and cozy indoors. Choose games that are age-appropriate and that everyone in the family can enjoy. You can even create a friendly competition by keeping score and awarding prizes to the winner.
