While thinking about this time of year, and experiencing the boredom of being house bound with my own kids, I thought it might be fun to suggest some mid winter activity ideas.
This site talks about throwing a theme party. I have done this with my kids in the winter, and it was a hit. throw a beach party, or a Hawaiian party in the living room.
Another fun thing I do, and the kids love it, is make them do physical activities that normally wouldn’t be allowed, in the house. I have them compete to see who can do the most, and they call it “the contest”. Here is a site for great exercises to have them compete with each other, or beat their own time.
Another fun thing to break the winter blues boredom, is crafts. Our favorite is scrapbooking. Here is a site to help with ideas for themes, and materials for kids.
Please feel free to share ideas you use with your own kids. Winter can be long and drawn out, especially with late winter snow, and sub-zero temps.

I don’t know anyone who doesn’t like to have fun. I also don’t know anyone who knows all there is to know about having fun, especially when it comes to having fun with the kids.
