January Activities for Kids – Monthly Play Calendar
Well I don't know about where you live but it sure is chilly here in Chicago! To help you cope with the winter blues, here is a free play calendar of January activities for kids!
Winter in Chicago can be beautiful, brisk and enjoyable…but it can also be blustery and downright brutal. I love to have a mix of play ideas on hand so that we can take full advantage of the crisp sunny winter days, but also have plenty to keep us busy on those days when we need to stay inside.
This play calendar is just the thing! Whether you are snowed in or just enjoying the fun that winter can bring, this free monthly play calendar is an awesome resource that you can refer to over and over again.
You will find 31 days of ideas including winter themed crafts, indoor boredom busters and outdoor play ideas. Take your pick or do them all! Let the kids look through the calendar or you can prep them yourself ahead of time.
