Mom, I’m bored!
Kids always claim to be excited for winter break. But as we all know, once they’ve had a few days off of school, cabin fever can start to set in. We’ve always tried to do at least a few fun things together as a family over Christmas vacation, but some years it’s hard coming up with new ideas. Today I’m sharing a list of 40 fun things to do over winter break. Some of these are holiday related, but most are just plain ‘ole good fun.
40 Fun Family Activities for Winter Break

Some of these ideas are free or low cost, but a few would require shelling out a bit of dough. Every year we have each of our boys come up with one or two things they want to do over winter break, and we try to squeeze those in. I guess it’s sort of a Christmas vacation bucket list.
Looking back, for my own boys, these activities (and not Christmas gifts) are the things they tend to remember most.
Oh, and being a mom of all boys, I never actually brought up #38. Maybe I can do that one with nieces or grandkids one day. π
