Whether you live in a warm or cold climate, Christmas and New Years, are a fantastic time of year. Most people have a few days of work, and are in a holiday mode. Today, we thought we would list some fantastic activities that you can do with the kids.
- Go to the snow
- Go to the beach
- Bake cookies
- Do puzzles
- Do drawings
- Watch classic movies
- Tobogganing
- Swimming
- Picnic
- Snow angles
- Sand angles
- Sand Castle
- Snow tower
- Winter/Summer clean of the house
- Museum
- Make "real" hot cocoa
This is just to get you started. Do you and your family a favour, grab a piece of paper and write down all the fun things you can do over the holidays. The great part is most of them don't cost much money to do!!!
Cheers

This is something I'm sharing with family bloggers, as a suggestion, and a plea, to use the New Year to learn something fascinating with the kids. Help your kids safely navigate the Internet to learn why 2008 is being called "The Year of the Frog." Like Kermit said, it's hard being green, especially today. Amphibians face the worst mass extinction since the dinosaurs -- but there is a sensible, very achievable way to stop it. Learn about it, with your kids, by visiting www.amphibianark.org, or my blog, www.frogmatters.wordpress.com. Zoos around the world are ringing in this special new year by having kids play the leapfrog game on New Year's Eve. But still, on the Web sites I just mentioned, you can download a fun, New Year's frog mask, see videos that explain it all, including one by Jeff Corwin, and learn a lot of fascinating things about amphibians. The main thing killing frogs isn't what you'd suspect -- it's a fungus that broke out of Africa in the 1940s. Oh, and instead of banging pots and pans at midnight, go outside and play family leapfrog. Have fun. Hoppy New Year.
