Winter fun activity list
Autumn is over and winter has well and truly arrived, with its cold short days. I am guessing lots of people don’t like winter, however, I don’t mind it. I like wrapping up in a cosy warm jumper, going for a walk in the very fresh morning air, surrounded by frost. I love coming home for a cosy hot chocolate with my children after playing outside. I love the expectation and excitement the children have waiting and wishing for snow. I love spending Sunday at home, indoors, when it’s raining outside and we all play together, followed by a nice family sunday roast.
Yes, it is cold and often wet, but there are definitely nice bits to winter too.
I have previously written a bucket list for summer and autumn. I loved these lists so much, I have now written a winter list too. Here’s our list of fun for the winter…..
- Make christmas lanterns (like our halloween ones, only xmas)
- Make christmas cards together
- Make paper chains
- Make reindeer biscuits
- Lots of other cooking (still to be decided)
- Have fun with our elf on the shelf
- Visit santa
- Go on a christmas fairy light walk
- Do lots of other christmas crafts (use pinterest for more ideas)
- Sing and play lots of music (especially christmas music, as it’s not christmas without music)
- Go on a winter nature walk
- Do lots puddle jumping
- Hopefully go sledging
- Hopefully make a snowman & have general snowy fun
- Make a den
- Make snowman pictures and crafts
- Visit the library more
- Have lots of story time together
- Do some outdoor chalking
- Go to the park
- Have a games afternoon
- Do some science experiments
- Make snowflakes
This is my core winter fun list, however, I am hoping to add to this too, and of course, it goes without saying, spend lots of family time together and have a great christmas!

Thank you x
Ahh fantastic, we are making an advent calendar with activities rather than toys or chocolate! lot’s of fun! xx
That’s a good idea x
Liking your list! Too many kids today are off to soft play, swimming, dance etc….all well and good, but they are incapable of entertaining themselves then.
Thank you, we like soft play etc, but only occasionally
I love your list – a great balance of Seasonal stuff and other bits that are fun to do too. popping over from savouring the season linky (The Beesley Buzz) xxx
Thank you, I like to have a variety of stuff planned to get through the season x

Yes, we are looking forward to some snow (if it comes)

Great ideas I think it’s easy to think of stuff to do in summer cause It’s more sunnier and a lot happier but it’s so hard during winter as you just want to wrap up warm and stay inside. Thanks for the ideas :3
