12 Activities Under $10 To Keep your Kids Busy All Winter!

For your kids, make being cooped up inside unforgettable!

According to British Columbia, “Children need to be active every day to promote their healthy growth and development. Kids who establish healthy lifestyle patterns at a young age will carry them – and their benefits – forward for the rest of their lives.

Then the Healthy Kids also mentioned, “Physical activity is vital for a child’s development and lays the foundation for a healthy and active life. Early childhood services are ideally placed to foster the development of good physical activity habits early in life and to encourage families to engage in regular physical activity. Early childhood services should offer a wide choice of play-based, physically active learning experiences that link to children’s interests, abilities, identity and prior knowledge. Physical activity in childcare needs to be made up of both structured (i.e. intentionally taught) physical activity and unstructured, spontaneous activity.

But Winter can limit the amount of time that a child gets to play because most of the time, they’re cooped up inside the house, all for a good reason, anyway. So here are 12 activities that you can do for less than $10 to keep your kids occupied and entertained all Winter!
