When Your Child is Tired of Winter, Try Some Indoor Spring
By February, most children have had their fill of playing in the snow.
Indoor games and puzzles have grown tiring. And you’ll probably start to hear, “When is it going to be spring?”
You can’t make it spring outside. But you can create a little spring inside on even the most dreary winter day.
• Grow a vegetable garden. Remember, this one is child-size! All you need to do is place the cut-off tops of vegetables in a shallow dish. The cut part should be facing down. Cover with water. Add pebbles to the dish to make it pretty. Water often and they will grow.
• Have a picnic. Spread out a cloth on the floor. Put on shorts and T-shirts (or at least summer hats). Serve sandwiches, fried chicken or whatever your family’s favorite picnic food is. Remember a fun time you had last summer and daydream about what you’d like to do when spring arrives.
