Fun Winter Activities

 Ontario’s best kept secret…might not be a secret anymore. The Ice Trail at Arrowhead Provincial Park has  become one of the region’s most popular winter attractions, and one of  the province’s most sought after winter ‘bucket list’ experiences. 

Build a snowman.  Get creative when dressing him up.  My kids use everything from rocks, smarties, carrots, buttons, bubble wrap and even olives. 

A Winter must is a good old fashioned snowball fight!  Look for the packing snow for this one!

Need something free?  Find a hill and try sledding.  This one you can basically go anywhere you see a hill.  Find a hill that suits your comfort level and away you go. 

I have yet to meet a kid that doesn't like to shovel snow.  My kids like to go out and shovel the back deck just for fun every time it snows.  Need an extra hand on the walk way?  

Time to hit the slopes.  Great family sport that you can do together. 

Skiing not your thing?  Try snow tubing on the giant hill for hours of fun. 

Winter just isn't winter without building some sort of snow fort.  Grab a plastic bin when the packing snow hits and start building. 

 Go for a winter hike.  Find a trail around you and take in the beauty all while getting some fresh air and exercise. 

 Fill spray bottles with diluted water colours or you can even use food colouring and use the fresh snow to create your very own masterpiece.
