We've been finding fun things to do inside when it too cold to go outside and throw balls around or skate on our homemade ice skating pond (sometimes its nice to forget to close the sandbox cover when it rains and then freezes)

Playing with shaving cream makes for a really fun morning. At first we started playing in our "snow" with our matchbox cars but Colin decided to make his own fun.

To the enjoyment of his brother

I've also put the kids in the bathtub and given them cups of shaving cream and paintbrushes and let them paint away on the tiles.

Then one day I got out marshmellows and toothpicks to let them create their own structures.

Colin made a storm trooper thing.  He's starting to really be into star wars.

Joel did really well.  He just put one marshmallow on each stick but it kept him busy for a while. And he kept watching how Colin did it.  And we do dress Joel in other clothes.  He just loves his Christmas shirt.  He likes to pick out his own clothes most mornings.

Then Colin got the idea to bring out the chocolate and dip marshmallows in it.  So our storm trooper vehicle  was happily eaten.

I would like one more snow this year but I'm very ready for spring to get here and the boys and I can spend all day outside. I would love any suggestions for some fun creative indoor activities.
