39 {AWESOME} Winter Activities for Kids

It's cold here today.  Like so cold that there are 700 pictures of thermometers in my Facebook feed.  So cold that I want to cry a little bit.

Cabin fever.  It's definition includes the words post-Christmas, January, and stir-crazy kids.

It's something I struggle with every year, and this year I'm taking it head on with a Winter Bucket List.  These are all the things I would love to do with my kids.  And better than being boredom busters, they are all easy!  Almost all of them involve materials that  you might even already have laying around your house!

Why 39?  Well, I may or may not have difficulty counting, and may or may not have originally planned on it being 40.  If you are looking for more ideas, find me on Pinterest, and look at my Winter Fun! board.

{Please note:  All these bloggers work really hard at creating awesome ideas for kids.  Do them a favor and visit them and pin your favorites!}
