Indoor Active Play for Snow Days

Cities across the country have had quite a bit of snow lately. With snow days and long winter weekend in the forecast for the next few months, it can be hard to think about ways to keep kids active while they're stuck indoors... without turning the entire house upside.

I've found five awesome activities kids can do to keep them moving, and keep the chaos contained and the glass unbroken. I wish some of these were around when my boys were little...

Ultimate Fort Builder

This fort builder comes with 45 poles and 25 connectors that are easy for kids as young as four to put together. Your kids can literally build any shape fort they want. It even comes with a guide with some ideas and directions to get them started.

Playz Pop Up Playhouse and Ball Pit

Like a mini-version of the indoor playground, but this packs up for easy storage and is super easy to assemble. You can use each of the four pieces in different combinations, so it is bound to fit in your space in one way or another. Plus, you won't find any unidentifiable objects in this ball pit.

Inflatable AirFort

Leave the dining chairs at the table and build a fort with air instead. There's no bottom to this AirFort, so it's easy for kids to get in and out with no problems. Plus, it blows up in just seconds with a box fan and is big enough you can hide out in there, too.

5-in-1 Indoor Playground

Now this is something you're going to want to play with, too. Similar to how you might hang a pull-up bar in your doorway, the Gym1 Deluxe Indoor Playground is easy to assemble and install in any doorway, and it sturdy enough to hold 300 lbs. In includes a swing, rings, trapeze bar, climbing ladder, and swinging rope.

Indoor/Outdoor Air Pogo Jumper

My sons have taught me just how fun a pogo stick can be... outdoors. I love that this not only encourages indoor active play, it helps kids practice balance, endurance, and coordination. Plus, it lights up(!!) and has a coordinating app that will count your bounces.


Cheers!
