Great Ideas for Outdoor Winter Activities the whole Family Can Enjoy!

Winter doesn’t mean staying indoors!

A breath of fresh air and outdoor play can be the perfect cure for cabin fever. The key? Bundle up in warm, waterproof gear, and your kids will be ready to enjoy the season.

Supplies:

1. Large Marshmallows
2. Chocolate Chips
3. Graham Crackers
4. Pretzel Sticks (Arms)
5. Candy Corn or Orange Candy Melts (Noses)
6. Microwave oven and microwave-safe plate.

Make Your Marshmallow Snowman S’mores

1.       To make the standing snowman, start with a full-size graham cracker. Cut two marshmallows in half. Place three halves on the graham cracker sticky-side down. Microwave until the marshmallows puff. (Watch very carefully. In our 1100-watt microwave, it took about 12-13 seconds.) Add broken pretzel sticks for arms. Chocolate chips make up the eyes and buttons, and I used a sliver of orange candy melt for the nose. Set aside to cool, if you can resist the gooey goodness:)

To make the snowman face, place remaining marshmallow half, cut side down on a graham cracker square. Microwave until the marshmallow puffs. I put these in slightly longer to get a nice round snowman face (maybe 14 seconds in our microwave). Add a piece of candy corn for the nose and a couple chocolate chips for the eyes.

Store in a single layer in a covered container. I’ve had success making them a day ahead if serving a crowd.

Enjoy those cold winter days eating s'mores, drinking hot chocolate, and making crafts with your little ones.

Holiday Reindeer Cupcakes Recipe 🍰

Preparation Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F: Mix together the cake mix, applesauce, oil, and water.
2. Fill Cupcake Liners: Line a cupcake pan with liners of your choice and fill each with 2-3 tablespoons of cake batter. Bake for 12-15 mins and let cool completely.
3. Frosting Fun: Fill a piping bag with salted caramel frosting and pipe a round dollop on top of each cupcake. Roll the frosting in a small bowl filled with red sanding sugar.
4. Reindeer Magic: Using a small round tool or your fingertip, make an indentation on top of the cupcake. Insert candy corn with the brown side up and add the chocolate leaf.
