Teachers and staff members at The Gardner School recently put together a list of items that make wonderful gifts for the holiday season or any cold-weather occasion. To truly enjoy a classic snowy day, the following cold-weather favorites will get your family to celebrate the season, no matter how chilly it is outside!
Snow Painting Kit
What’s better than bright, vibrant colors on a stark white background? How about making the entire yard a canvas for your little artist with this Snow Painting Kit? These non-toxic, fun snow paints are water-based, so they won’t stain clothes or hands. Will your child make a holiday-themed scene, or practice their handwriting skills on a major scale? Maybe they’ll practice color mixing! These paints will keep them occupied until they’re ready for hot chocolate.
Snowball Maker Tool
The only downside to any epic snowball fight is how cold and wet little hands can get after hours outside making snowballs. Skip the chapped hands this year (and exponentially increase their snowball output) with a Snowball Maker Tool. Don’t be surprised if you see a few neighbor friends trying it out. It’s an important part of any snow day!
Stroller Warmmuffs – Hand Warmers
Taking a stroll outside after the first snowfall can feel magical, cultivate wonder, and become a special memory for your child. The crunch of boots on newly-fallen snow, the quiet hush of your neighborhood. What could make/would make this scene even more idyllic? Gloves specially built to attach to strollers! Keep adult hands super warm while you explore the wintry weather around you. An added plus: no cold hands on your child when you help them change out of their snowsuit!
Dinosaur Hooded Jacket
What’s better than playing outside in the winter? Pretending to be a dinosaur while playing outside in the winter. Whether you’re a parent to a stegosaurus, a brontosaurus, or even a fierce T-Rex, your little dino will love rocking this warm and stylish winter coat.
Snow Sled for Children
Sledding is one of the best winter activities for children. It can help with gross motor skills, improve hand-eye coordination, and encourage early understanding of gravity and physics, and it’s just plain fun! Enjoy hours of gleeful sledding at the best local hill with this snow sled. The graspable handle and easy-to-clean plastic will make this pick a winter standby for years to come. (Not suitable for children under 3 years of age.)
Sneezy the Snowman
There’s nothing like curling up in front of the fire with a good book on a cold, wintry day. Make your child’s reading choices seasonal by offering them the rollicking tale of Sneezy the Snowman. Even though he’s a snowman, Sneezy hates being cold! Inside the house, Sneezy tries everything to warm up, including hot chocolate, a warm bath, and even standing next to the fireplace. Snowmen aren’t built for warmth, and Sneezy soon notices that he’s melting! How will his friends help build him back up?
