Putting together this list brought back so many memories for me! Memories of the days when I had a baby and a toddler to keep occupied for hours and hours at a time. While my boys are a bit older now, they still would love a lot of these activities. (I even stopped putting together this list to go create the baby oil and food coloring one right then and there!)
Calgary has a wide variety of museums and interpretive centres covering topics from sports to world history; get hands-on with rotating interactive exhibits, travelling displays, and activities for all ages! Many of our local museums also feature weekday and weekend programs ideal for homeschoolers. Inspire your kids to interact with and learn about the world around them while enjoying a great day out!
Winter can be cozy but at some point, we’re left with cold, colds, and cabin fever. But it doesn’t have to be that way. You can banish the winter blahs this season by finding fun - indoors and out!
Let’s face it, winter can be a drag. The cold and snow feel relentless, leaving us to wonder if we will ever see summer again… But when the wind dies down and the sun comes out, winter’s unique playground is hard to beat! If you are looking for outdoor winter fun - beyond building a snowman - take a look at some of these suggestions.
