Active Play on Indoor Days

This winter has been brutal hasn't it? My poor children have been cooped up for what feels like... forever months as the temperatures drop from cold to even colder! To say we have cabin fever would be accurate! Honestly, we have developed a case of the lazy's too. We spent several days doing nothing to the point of sheer exhaustion.

After another day with restless and cranky kids, who spent the day in various stages of doing nothing other than destroying the house,  I realized it was time to find ways to get them moving, having fun and hopefully even learning something too!
