 Don’t Hibernate!
- Ideas for Family Winter Outdoor Fun
(ARA) - This winter season don’t
let your family hibernate inside. Why not put all that fresh
snow to good use? Bundle everyone up and participate in some
fun activities the whole family will enjoy. There are all kinds
of ways for kids and parents to enjoy the outdoors together in
the winter. Along with the typical winter sports, there are also
games and creative projects that children really enjoy -- and
the exercise is good for them too.
Here are some ideas from the
experts at Wham-O to help get kids off the couch and outside
for interactive snow play this winter:
Head for the sledding hill. Now
with so many sledding options, the whole family will have a blast
whooshing down snow-covered hills. In fact, kids and parents
can ride together on the huge, double-walled Turbosaucer Snow
Saucer.

Or cause a storm of excitement
with the 43 inch SnowBoogie Thunder, a super-light, shock absorbing
foam sled with an ultra-fast SpeedSlick bottom, sure to produce
thunderous applause and crowd-pleasing cheers all winter long.
Don’t leave the little tots
in the “snow” dust. A Baby Sled is a great way for
parents to safely introduce their young toddlers to sledding,
while smaller sleds, such as the Sledz Racer Jr. and the Snowboogie
Racer Jr., let younger kids hit the slopes by featuring lightweight
foam designs to absorb shocks and a Speedslick bottom for maximum
fun. |

Build a cutting-edge snowman
with a Snowman Kit. Kids can let their imaginations run wild
as they build a snowman sporting a Mohawk, earring, nose rings
and sunglasses. The Snowman Kit, which contains weather-tough
plastic components, also comes in a traditional version with
a black top hat and scarf, for a more classic-looking snowman.
Build a classic snow fort --
all you’ll need is snow. Create a big mound and pack it
down by stepping, jumping and even rolling on it. Once a solid,
round pile has been created, make a doorway and begin tunneling
into the mound. Continue to shovel snow out of the center and
pack it on top. Once inside, use a smaller shovel to make a space
inside. You can cover the floor with a straw mat and poke holes
through the ceiling and sides to make skylights and windows.
Snow fort walls should be at least one foot thick. |
