[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just get proper clothing for playing outside.[/quote]

My kids were utterly uninterested in freezing while not being able to do much because most of our yard melted before the wintry mix on Sunday so now there's basically blades of grass sticking up between ice. They're decently creative kids but the cold plus the fact that they'd have to come up with something that's not typical snow activities to do was too much for them to come up with.

Grateful for PE class today![/quote]

I just cannot relate to people like this. Blades of grass. Dear Lord. How will your kids cope?
 
My kids are teens and young adults now, but bundled up, they were able to do all the things they usually do outside. Run around with a ball, find interesting stones, play with sticks, play with the dog, play make-believe while running around...

Your kids just stand around whining because they need someone to create an organized play activity?!?!

Maybe that's what it sounds like, but no.

Normally when it's not freezing they find whatever standing water they can and turn it into soup and play complex games of make believe.

When there's snow on the ground they sled, build forts, and play make believe.

Yesterday it wasn't obvious what make believe they could play outside, so they continued with the complex magnatile town populated with various figurines they had been doing all weekend, then moved onto figurines in kinetic sand and playdough.[/quote]
