Bringing Winter Inside

Part of living in Canada we get some pretty cold weather at times. Lucky for us, in Southern Alberta we get the occasional warm air bursts from over the rockies (chinooks). Just makes it a little more tolerable living in the northern lattitudes. But... the past few days we've been stuck in a bit of a deep freeze, the daily high is -19˚C and the temperature with the windchill is -29˚C. It's cold. So we basically stay inside unless we really have to go out side, and if you do, you have to really be bundled up. One thing we did this week was bring winter inside. The kids loved it. We were able to stay warm, minus our hands. It was a fun afternoon having a snow sensory bin with some snow, shovels, buckets and even some little carrots to make their own Olof's.
