If your child would rather be indoors than out in the snow, here are some activity books to help pass the time.
ULTIMATE SLIME
The guide to all things slime was written by popular instagram slimer @CraftySlimeCreator, who is a 16-year-old native of Toronto! In this book, she gives instructions on how to make all kinds of slime – crunchy, fluffy, avalanche, confetti, foam, you name it! There are 100 different slime recipes and projects to experiment with. You can add colours and mixins to put your own spin on slime. And don’t worry; everything is safe, kid-friendly and borax-free.
MOM & ME: AN ART JOURNAL TO SHARE
Together, mom and kid can explore their thoughts and feelings through art. Each page invites both parent and child to “draw what scares you,” for example. It really opens up the lines of communication, while being creative. Bethany Robertson’s artwork and lettering is paired with insightful prompts from art therapist Lacy Mucklow.
RAINY DAY UNICORN FUN: A PHOEBE AND HER UNICORN ACTIVITY BOOK
Who wouldn’t want to spend a day with a unicorn? This book is filled with a variety of challenging crossword, word search and sudoku puzzles – all featuring Phoebe and her unicorn, Marigold Heavenly Nostrils. And even though the book is made for “rainy days”, we are sure the fun will translate to cold, snowy days, too.
