Hi friends,
Today we bring you a crafted snow day! Depending on what area you’re in, snow may be easily accessible, a short drive to, or something never experienced. We live about an hour away from the snow but haven’t had a snow day in a few years. We’re wanting to plan a visit sometime before it melts and hope that our stuff still fits Haha. Playing in the snow is fun, exciting, a good workout, messy, and makes potty breaks really inconvenient lol But, there’s no need for snow gear or winter wear during this activity, just a few supplies and a handprint for today’s craft. Check it out below!
