Forget the Lego! Make your own cool ice blocks and have fun building outside! As a bonus, your block designs can stay up as colourful art to brighten up your yard. 

Gather your pinecones, make a homemade bird feeder, then go on a winter walk to find the perfect spot to hang your new creation. Find a snowy seat and sit back and enjoy watching the birds! 

Who says bubbles are just for summer? If you make them just right, bubbles can freeze into beautiful, crystalized orbs. This can take some patience and experimentation, but the payoff is worth it. Make a batch of our homemade bubble solution and wait for a chilly day below –10°C for the best results. 

Plan a day full of outdoor adventuring and don’t forget the picnic! Skiing, skating, snowshoeing, or sledding, they all have at least one thing in common – they work up an appetite! No need to rush inside to eat; come prepared by planning a Winter Picnic.
