Springwater At Home Activity Ideas

While staying safe at home you are encouraged to get outside and enjoy all things winter! Here are some fun ideas to get your family outside!

Outdoor Snow Canvas Painting

Gather your paint brushes, spray bottles and food colouring (or Kool-Aid mix). Define your canvas in the snow and paint away! Snow can be a great canvas for mosaics or stencil art.

Fort Building

Pull out the summer beach buckets to help form the base of a great winter fort. To add to your fort try freezing containers of water and food colouring to make coloured ice blocks.

Snowperson and Snow Creature Building

Sculpt, roll, and add props to build your one of a kind snow person!

Star Gazing

Cold air and bright stars! Winter is one of the best times for star gazing, grab a hot chocolate bundle up and head outside. Cold air holds less hazy moisture than hot summer air, so nights tend to be very clear and perfect for winter star gazing.

Winter Hikes and Scavenger Hunts

Springwater is home to great trails and outdoor spaces. On your next hike or walk around the neighbourhood try this winter senses scavenger hunt or collect items to create a Winter Mandela

Tobogganing

Create your own luge or toboggan hill around your yard, a little slope can create a lot of fun!
