Winter is not my favorite time of year. I don’t get nearly as much exercise, I don’t eat as healthy and honestly, I am not as motivated. So, I put some deep thought and family discussion time into listing things my family can do for winter fun. Bucket lists are a great way to get motivated and try something new. This is our new family winter bucket list.
Things to Do Outside
- Winter Scavenger Hunt
- Go ice skating
- Kick back in an outdoor hot tub
- Go stargazing
- Take a wintry hike
- Breathe in the smell of pine
- Build snow forts
- Try friluftsliving
- Do the Polar Bear Plunge
Things to Do Inside
- Make Homemade Hot Chocolate
- Enjoy a living room picnic
- Build pillow/blanket forts
- Mail a handwritten card to an old friend or distant relative
- Make a birdfeeder out of pinecones, peanut butter, and birdseed—and place it near your window for a show
- Start some seedlings
- Breathe in the smell of pine essential oil
- Make snowman pancakes
- Have a Game Night Marathon
- Start a sourdough starter and create unique recipes
I hope these ideas get you to start thinking about your winter bucket list. Enjoy!
Thanks for introducing Friluftsliving! The idea of a winter bucket list is great. We often get stuck in a rut of relaxing separately instead of together. Especially with teens!
