Cabin Fever is foreign to us here in Miami! It is so gorgeous outside! 78 degrees and pure sun. There is a snow storm in NY right now! But I am sitting in the grass in my backyard watching my husband and dog, Gigi, (great defense!) play basketball.
But if you are getting tired of the winter weather, and your kids are getting Cabin Fever, here are some ideas to keep them entertained:
- Set up indoor bowling. Be creative with the pins (cans, plastic bottles, etc.)
- Do some indoor exercises together with your kids. (Yoga, aerobics, climbing the stairs, etc.)
- At night play hide and seek with the lights out using flashlights. Each child should be with a parent, so he or she does not get too frightened. This is a blast to play. We have done it many times, and loved it.
- Set up a tent in the living room or basement and go “camping” in the winter.
- If you cannot drive due to the weather, get together with neighbors to have hot chocolate or play some board games.
- Have your kids write and illustrate their own book about winter.
- If you can make it to the library, find out what programs they have for kids.
- Suggest that kids put on a play for the adults in the house. Have them practice and tell them to be creative with costumes by using what you have in the house. This will keep them busy for hours.
- Go through photo albums with your kids. They’ll love to see their baby pictures and pictures of your life before they were born.
If all else fails, plan a trip to Florida where you can always go outside (except for hurricanes)!
