A Day of Winter Indoor Activities
Author: Laura Bankston

Anchorage, AK: Last night when my husband got home from work, he told me the temperature was already -12 degrees F. Brrrrr.

Today is still super cold, so I think we'll spend the day indoors. Which, of course, means to pull from my repertoire of indoor activities.

So, knowing that

so many families have to keep the kids occupied inside, here's a day of planned out for you to use as is or as a template for your own plans:

Some Cooking: Start a pot of stew! That way, by this evening, we'll have a nice, comforting meal ready and waiting. My favorite stew recipe is Five Hour Beef Stew found at the Kids Recipe Club (http://www.kidsrecipeclub.com). There are also a few other stew recipes.

If you have a favorite stew recipe that you'd like to share with the Recipe Club, please do so. Just click "submit your recipe" in the "Kids Recipes" menu box.

While we cook, we'll talk about the different nutrients in the vegetables and why they are important to our diets.

Some Homeschool - we took a day off yesterday because the kids weren't feeling too well, but today is a definite. We will need to burn a little brain power to help deal with cabin fever and built up energy.

For your your kids, you might enjoy the free Math worksheet at http://wwww.homeschoolcookbook.com/free_math_worksheet.htm or the free coloring pages at http://www.homeschoolinglibrary.com/free_kids_coloring_pages.htm .

Some Lunch - today we will be having sandwiches and home made hot chocolate.
