How to Beat Cabin Fever this Winter
Cabin fever may not be an ?official? disorder or illness, but many experience it. Because of the shorter days and cold temperatures, we feel bored, uninspired, and even a little down. And we parents know that cabin fever is a very real thing: ask any mom or dad of stir-crazy kids who are stuck indoors, and they?ll testify that cabin fever most definitely exists.
I?ve been there. Since becoming a mom, I have racked my brain and scoured the internet for years, looking for the best ways to beat the winter blues and do something fun and hands-on. Here are some ways to keep your sanity during the wintertime.
Activities to do as a family
Snow builds
Gather the whole family, wear that winter gear, and get building. The possibilities are endless:
Make a family of snowmen Mould a few snow animals
Build a cool fort
Use empty square or rectangular containers to fashion bricks and make two huge snow walls for the ultimate snowball fight
You can even put coloured water in squirt or spray bottles to add colour to your creations.
Board game tourney
We all have umpteen board games. Have each family member choose their favourites and hunker with blankets and snacks for the ultimate gaming battle. What will the prize be for the winner"
Carnival games
You can try and create actual carnival-like or, to simplify things, look up on the internet ?minute to win it games.? You won?t believe how many options there are with simple items that can be found around the house.
