Guys like no other are waiting for the arrival of winter and the first snow. After all, in a snowy courtyard you can come up with a lot of fun games and fun. In addition, snow is an excellent material for creativity. The task of parents is to take care of the baby's outfit. Clothing should be appropriate for the season so that the child is not wet and cold, and at the same time not hamper his movements.
"Rolling downhill"
Descent from a snow or ice slide is a favorite winter fun, which is popular among children of all ages. The smallest are rolling down the hill on a sled, older children are squatting, and "professionals" are on their feet. Regardless of the method of descent, the sliding process gives joyful experiences and indescribable sensations from contact with a slippery surface and speed of movement.
If you do not have a sled, and the child is not old enough to ride a slide without an auxiliary tool, a piece of plywood or cardboard will come to the rescue. A child can easily bring such a device onto a slide, and after riding it can simply be thrown away. To keep the baby on an impromptu sled, bend the front edge of the sheet like a useless sled. The descent on the cardboard is the least dangerous, since the child has nothing to fall from.
"Young sculptor"
Children are very fond of sculpting snowmen out of wet snow, figures of animals and even fortresses. Help the kids diversify their creations with the help of improvised materials (cones, twigs, stones), unnecessary items of clothing, garden tools. It is not necessary to make sculptures on earth. An image sculpted from snow will look good on the dark bark of a tree.
"The most accurate"
A fun game of snowballs perfectly develops the eye and the coordination of movements in kids. Good snowballs come from wet snow. If the fallen snow is friable and does not mold, "shells" can be prepared at home. Lightly freeze the snowballs in the refrigerator (just do not overdo it) and put them in a plastic tray. On the wall of the building or other surface, draw a target in which the baby will aim for snowballs. The game will become much more interesting and reckless, if you arrange the competition for accuracy.
"Snow Maze"
Such fun for children can be organized when there is a lot of snow. In the maze of snow, you can play hide and seek or catch up, search for various items. First draw a diagram of the maze on paper, and then lay out a plan of the future building in the snow with branches or ropes.
Using a shovel, lay moves in the snow according to the plan and finish the piers to the desired height. To strengthen, pour them with water. The height of the partitions should not exceed 2/3 of the child’s height so that parents can observe him without entering the maze.
"Shadows in the snow"
Show your child how to use his own body to make a variety of figures on pristine snow. For example, if you lie on the snow on your back and spread your arms and legs wide apart, you will get a star shape.And if you hold your hands apart in the snow, the print will look like angel wings. To make an elephant, put the child on a barrel with arms and legs extended forward, and then let him straighten one arm behind his head. The main thing is to learn to carefully lie down and get up from the snow sheet.
"Building from snow"
Older children are happy to erect buildings from the snow, so that later they arrange snow battles. With the help of adults, you can build real fortresses that will stand for more than one day. To get started, select a less crowded, preferably shaded place. You can form walls from compressed snow balls or make bricks using a small box or bucket.
If there is a large snowdrift nearby, you can make an Eskimo home from it - an igloo. Make a hole in it, ram the walls from the inside, fill the building with water from the outside. Optionally, you can equip the house with snow furniture and decorate with natural materials.
Winter fun is loved not only by children, but also by adults. Do not miss the opportunity to have fun and good time outdoors with your baby. And in order to capture happy moments, do not forget to bring a camera or camcorder with you.
