6. Watch old musicals like Singing In the Rain.
7. Have an indoor picnic.
8. Make Bread-for extra fun let the kids “sculpt” with the dough-their creations can be baked & eaten
9. Bake Cookies-I like these shaped gingerbread cookiesbecause they don’t have to chill, but drop or bar cookies are fun too.
10. Make snow “icecream”

24. Feed you birdy friends by stringing popcorn to hang on a tree or making a pine cone birdfeeder.
