How can I play with my active toddler daughter in cold weather?

THE QUESTION :

I have a 21-month old non-girly girl. I need some help on what games I can play with her. She loves the outdoors, and knows what trees and flowers and rocks are, but I don't like being outside now that it's cold. What games can we play that will keep her active and interested?

THE ANSWER:

When my children were around 2, we used to play a lot of hide-n-seek, both indoors and outdoors. My two boys always liked to try find my wife and me as we hid around the house.

How can I keep my kids active during the winter?

THE QUESTION :

My 5-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter like to play in our backyard afterschool. But now that it's cold, they want to just stay inside and watch TV. How can I keep them active in the winter months?

THE ANSWER:

Even though it's cold outside kids can still get out and play. As temperatures drop and darkness starts earlier, it becomes more difficult to get kids outside to play. However, just about any game that can be played in the warm weather can be played in the cold weather.
