10 Fun Inside Activities for Kids

Now that winter has really set in, there are many of us longing for new activities to keep ourselves and our kids busy. There are many options as long as you are willing to participate yourselves. I will list 10 options that I believe will have you and your kids, laughing, leaning and having lots of fun!

1. Build a fort. Take some chairs, bed sheets and lots of stuffed animals. Place the chairs in a formation and stretch the bed sheet over them, using tape to build the fort. The kids will love going in and out and playing house in this new fort. You can even pretend you have a princess and prince, a moat, a king and queen and oh so much more. Just let your imagination lead you and you will have hours of entertainment.

2. Color, Color, Color! Get out the paper and the crayons. You can color banners and tape them on the wall, color pictures for a loved one and send it to them in the mail, color your favorite pictures from a coloring book, or just draw a fun family photo! You can be really creative these days and print off pictures from your kids favorite websites so they can color their favorite TV show characters. They'll have lots of fun pretending they are in the shows with their friends as they color. You can also take coloring way beyond crayons. Markers, colored pencils, and paints are also great options. Finger paints are lots of fun for little ones who can't quite draw yet. You can get a big piece of poster paper and put it down on the floor and let the kids go crazy. One fun idea is to use chocolate pudding for finger paints! The kids will love eating as the color.

So many fun activities to do inside with the kids!
