The groundhog saw his shadow and that means 6 more weeks of
winter. Huge parts of the US are or were covered with snow and ice. Other parts
of the US haven’t been hit by snow but the weather has been a bit nasty.

What are kids to do when you’re stuck in the house or
covered in snow? Build a fort for hours of fun and imaginary play.
If snow is what you have plenty of, dress up to stay warm
and dry, borrow the snow shovel and bucket and create your best snow fort
ever! Build walls to hide behind, a door
to enter and exit and even create benches to sit on. Snowball fights always
happen so build your fort to protect you against those inevitable attacks.
Forts are a great start to pretend play! Pretend you are explorers in the artic
trekking to the North Pole! Go out and have a blast!

Now if you live in a climate where the weather is warmer,
outdoor or indoor forts can be all kinds of fun. Outdoors look for large boxes
that you can build into a fort with tarps or old blankets that mom doesn’t use
anymore. Indoors you can use chairs, You can pretend you’re
on safari looking for all kinds of exotic animals.
cushions and blankets to make a great
fort. Be sure to ask mom for permission before you start building so you don’t
get in trouble.
Wherever you build your fort, have fun, be safe and stay
active!
