Winter is here!  It’s the perfect time to explore winter science activities with your child as the temperatures drop below freezing or even a little help with your freezer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are several playful ways to explore science with ice and snow with your child. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"Winter<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

There’s no doubt that winter has arrived in the US, based on the temperatures the past week.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We were lucky enough to sneak away from Florida for the holidays to the Rocky Mountains in Colorado and enjoy our own Winter Wonderland in their two snow storms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the first time either of my girls had seen snow at ages 4 and 8 and honestly my 22 year old and husbands haven’t seen it much either so it was a special trip for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Usually, we have to pretend a bit down here in Florida with pretend snow fun. {Click here<\/a>} or watch a few snow videos<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

Did you see the images we shared on instagram from our recent snow adventures? {Click Here<\/a>} Even I braved the hill after far too many years to count. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your favorite outdoor activity in the snow? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, we wanted to bring a little bit of the snow and cold home with us so here are a few activities to hopefully remind us of all the fun and learn a little bit at the same time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
