It’s winter! Snow and cold and ice and the possibilities of new and different play! Below you’ll find a list of all sorts of outdoor winter activities for toddlers and kids that you can set up right in your own backyard.
How I miss the days that my littles would wake up to a freshly painted white world… oh, and the excitement in those eyes when they heard the snowplow coming down the road!
… they’d look out the window, see all those new possibilities and they’d suddenly not care about cartoons and cereal. They just needed to get outside and try out their new Paw Patrol snow shovel, slide around in their sled, and eat some snow!
(Yes, let’s be honest, all kids eat snow.)
But, aside from shoveling, sliding, and eating snow, what other outdoor activities can you find for your toddlers to do?

Toddlers and preschoolers have a natural curiosity and excitement about the outdoor world that just doesn’t compare to any other age group. Often times we parents rush too quickly to make plans and create activities when really all they need is a little encouragement and confidence that their own play and explorations are great activities in and of themselves.
But, if you plan to spend hours outside, having a few snow activities for toddlers on hand will certainly help.
15 ideas for winter activities for toddlers
1. Snow Shoveling
Toddlers love to help out and they love to imitate. So, if you are planning to make a wintertime toy purchase for your little one, I strongly suggest a kid-sized snow shovel! And, if you happen to live somewhere where you get a lot of snow, there’s no harm is teaching them early;)
I recommend you get them an actual shovel that will slide and push the snow.
I’m pretty sure we picked ours up at the dollar store (they look like these but I know we didn’t pay that price!).
Some little kids are even able to use smaller ‘adult’ snow shovels… like the emergency shovels for keeping in your vehicle.. some of these are the perfect size and actually work at moving snow around.
2. Go for a sled ride – a toddler’s favourite winter activity!
Whether it’s just for fun or for practical purposes, having a good quality pull sled is very handy when you have young children. You can pull them around the block, they can slide around in the backyard, or they can pull their own dollies for a ride!
Taking dolly out for a sled rideMake it even more fun and find some hills to play on. Remember, toddlers don’t need anything too big or scary and if you are going to go down some big hills with them, be safe and have them wear a helmet.
When my littles were really little, we had both a wooden baby sled and one of these plastic baby sleds.
Both worked well and supported our babies in a sitting position. However, we would add more blankets and cushioning to the wooden sled. Once they were a little older and sturdier we started using a plastic toboggan pull sled without a back support.

Which sled should you get for your toddler?
I find the pull sleds are more stable and can manage rough snow and terrain better than the smaller wooden baby sleds. Our baby sleds tipped more on rough and hilly trails where our basic pull sleds did not.
Unless you’re getting a hand-me-down, I’d suggest purchasing a pull sled and skip the baby sized sleds since they’re pricy and not as useful as kids get older.
3. Build a snowman
Really, this one shouldn’t even need to be mentioned, right? But, don’t stop at snowmen!
Encourage your toddler’s creativity and maybe they’ll want to build a family of dinosaurs, a castle, a baby turtle, or a sculpture of their own family! Make it even more exciting by letting your toddler choose some clothing and natural treasures to decorate their snow creations.
4. Paint the snow
This one takes a tiny bit of preparation, but it’s still pretty quick and easy. The main idea is to fill a watering can, spray bottle, empty dish soap jar, or even a pop bottle (with a hole poked into the lid) with coloured water.
Tip: The slower the water empties from the container, the longer this winter activity will last!
I used an empty soy sauce jar when we tried this and the rate of water flow was perfect… not to slow, but not the whole bottle at once.
I just add a drop or two of food colouring to the water to make sure that the kids’ clothing don’t also get colored in the process. If you want the colours to show up stronger on the snow, add more food colouring to your water.
outside, painting the snow with blue-colored waterI would think water guns would work too… as long as it weren’t so cold that they’d freeze right up.
You could also let the kids bring out their water paint tray or tempera paint cakes to paint on the snow.
I see this working really well when the snow has a hard crust on top that would act as a giant canvas for your kids.
Buy this to paint on the snow!
5. Paint with snow
This one works really well if you have a brick house or a wooden fence. You can even do it on big tree trunks too!
Basically, with handfuls of snow, show your little one how to make designs on your ‘canvas’. The texture of the brick, wood, or bark will grip the snow. A wetter snow works better than the super light and fluffy variety. And, if the snow is wet enough, you can even throw snowballs at the wall and fence to make a picture out of thrown snow balls.
For older kids: make a bullseye or target game for them to throw the snowballs at.
I also have memories of pulling off my soggy mittens and scarves and sticking them onto the brick walls too! … not sure if you want to encourage that or not!
6. Build a fort
If you grew up in snow I’m sure you’ve built a fort or two! Remember, 2 year olds aren’t very big, so this snow fort doesn’t have to be an over-involved process.
Just a small snow wall will be very exciting to hide behind and climb over for them. I’m pretty sure all the forts I ever made were done with my hands and feet.
However, I so have fond memories of my dad digging one out of a snow drift for me once.
You can purchase fancy snow brick molds, but ice cream containers, sand pails, and buckets work too, and it’s always better to reuse (in my opinion).
Super Snow Fort Building Tip: If you really want this fort to last, make bricks by filling cardboard boxes with snow and letting them harden over night. Slide the brick out of the box form and fill again. The more boxes, the quicker this will go!
7. Build a maze
This one will need a little more adult time. In a large area of fresh snow use a shovel (or your feet) to cut paths in the yard. Make a maze for your toddler to find their way through. Then, show them how to make their own maze to challenge you.
You can challenge older kids to write out their name or make a specialty course.
Check out this dog run…. but I know my littles would have loved this! So fun!!
8. Make an obstacle course
These are fun any time of the year, but in the winter, there’s the element of snow! Read more at Paper Heart Family to see the snowy obstacle course they made for their kids and get some fun ideas for your own backyard course.
An obstacle course from PaperHeartFamilyMy girls still make obstacles courses for themselves in the backyard. Over the years these have become increasingly difficult. There’s even one set up right now in the snow… and I see they’ve pulled all the lawn furniture out onto the lawn to climb over and under too.
9. Watch some snow clearing
Yep, this one is simple, but wow, if you happen to have a toddler that loves anything with wheels, then this is definitely going to be a hit!
We are lucky to live in an area that grades and picks up the snow on our roads.
My little guy would get so excited when that familiar beeping and grating sound came around! He’d spend a whole hour just standing on the couch watching the grader, loader, and dump trucks do their thing (while giving me a running commentary the whole time!). If I really wanted to treat him, we’d get all bundled up and head outside to watch safely from the porch! …and if the truck honked or waved, well, his day was made!
10. Go on a track hunt
Little kids will love to walk through the snow, play with their own footprints and follow other prints. Pretend to be spies and head to the park or around the block and see how many different tracks you can find, follow them, and see where they lead you both.
Or, make a game out it where you each have to follow each other’s tracks. Toddlers love these types of interactive games!
11. Play at the park
The park is an entirely different place when it’s covered in snow!
Just be careful that metal structures can be unexpectedly slippery when covered in frost.
12. Be a winter wildlife detective
Head to a natural area and see how the animals are managing in the snow. Make a little winter-time scavenger hunt before you head out, or just pretend to be nature detectives and look, listen, and feel with curiosity.
Ask your 2 year old some of these questions:
- What are the animals doing and saying?
- Have they left any evidence in the snow?
- Whose tracks are whose?
- Can we figure out
13. Have a tea party or a picnic
If your little one is into tea parties, then go have one outside!
Get all bundled up, bring out the cups, a blanket, and a few dollies… then enjoy a nice little tea party in the snow. You could probably also whip up some snowy pies and cakes for the celebration too!
For an extra treat, fill the “tea” thermos with hot chocolate or warmed apple juice!
And a great tip for encouraging outdoor time, invite some friends to the tea party… the more, the merrier!
14.
Freeze stuffThis is a two-part activity that needs a little preparation on your part.
First, one day, you’ll fill a container with natural treasures (leaves, berries, pine cones) and add a few inches of water. Then, leave this outside to freeze overnight.
On the second day, go see what happened, take the frozen disks out of the contains and hang them in the trees as decorations.
Frozen Ice ornaments – such an easy winter activity for toddlers!You can get the full instructions on making wintertime ice ornaments here.
Or, raid your recycle bin for some empty yogurt or milk containers and fill these with coloured water. Your toddlers will definitely help with this!
Then, leave these outside to freeze. Once they’re frozen, pop them out of their containers and your littles can play with these in the snow.
15. Haul out the toys
Sandbox toys are just as fun in the snow! Fill the dump truck and use the sand shovels to build a snow city complete with roads, tunnels, apartment buildings, and even snow bridges!
Or, instead of sand toys, try some kitchen tools like muffin tins, cookie cutters, scoops, and rolling pins.
Really, finding an outdoor winter activity for toddlers and you to do together should be easy. Just remember to dress well so you’ll both stay warm, be enthusiastic, and let them guide your snow play.
…and if you tire them out, it’s totally okay for nap time to happen outdoors too!

Winter games and fun for children - outdoor winter games for children
The real winter comes in Russia not according to the calendar - the time for winter fun comes along with frost and white snow, which wraps the ground and trees in a fluffy blanket. It is thanks to him that we organize games for children. Has it already snowed? We take out winter equipment, mittens, shoes with non-slip soles - and forward to winter outdoor activities!
Slides
Active winter games and fun for children are varied, but one of the most favorite among the children is skiing from snow slides.
You can ride from any slope in the forest, park, in the yard or from specially built "ice tracks". Anything can be a vehicle - a plastic ice rink, a piece of cardboard or plywood, an inflatable "cheesecake". To enjoy your ride, make sure there are no roads nearby that you can fly into at speed, or hard objects that you can crash into.
Important! For skiing on a “cheesecake” (tubing), it is best to choose a specially prepared slope, away from those who descend from the mountains on sleds or snow scooters. Do not accelerate - the “cheesecake” is already very fast and nimble, while it is almost impossible to control it. Ride only sitting. Do not go down with a “train” or together with a child on one “cheesecake” (there are special double tubings for pair skating).
Snowballs
One of the brightest examples of a folk winter outdoor game for children and adults is the snowball fight. You can just throw snowballs at each other, or you can play games.
For example, in "Snow Bouncer" .
In the center of the designated circle is the driver, the players stand along its contour. The driver throws snowballs at the guys running in a circle, whoever he hits - he will continue to drive. The game requires preparation: you need to draw a circle on a snowy platform and stick snowballs for the driver. Usually kids make snowballs with great pleasure while adults draw a circle. Its diameter can be made larger, especially if there are a lot of guys. When everything is prepared, we determine the driver with a rhyme and start on command. Music will be very helpful.
Snowball throwing
You can play snowballs, competing in accuracy. Almost any object is suitable for the role of a target - an ice cube, a bucket brought from home. The circle can also be drawn simply on the wall (away from the windows, of course).
Draw a start line on the snow that you must not cross. Everyone has to make a snowball himself. Start on command: who is the most accurate? How many hits with a snowball on a target out of five attempts? And out of ten?
You can throw snowballs, competing in range. Participants stand behind the starting line and, on command, throw snowballs. Here it is important to follow the trajectory of each snowball and not lose sight of any. The winner is the one whose snowball flew the farthest. To complicate the rules, suggest throwing snowballs first with your right and then with your left hand.
Snowman family
In the thaw, when the snow is soft, children are happy to make snowmen. This lesson trains strength, endurance, coordination of movements - and perfectly develops the imagination of kids. After all, you can create a very unusual snowman. Come up with a hairstyle for him from icicles, branches or a bunch of straw; make him a makeover lay out large eyes from beans, buckwheat, sunflower seeds; decorate with rowan or cone beads; blind the snowman's ears and decorate them with earrings.
It is better to prepare the material for experiments in advance and distribute to the children when the "model" is ready. And the process of making snowmen is simple and known to everyone: you need to make a snow globe, then a couple more smaller ones. A snowman can not only stand, but also sit. And in general, to be both a "man" and a beloved animal - a bear, a hare, a dolphin. The scope for snow creativity is almost limitless!
Snow Angel
A simple and beautiful winter game. It is especially good to play it during a walk after a snowfall, when there is a lot of clean and fluffy snow.
To make an angel, you need to fall into a snowdrift on your back, stretch your arms to the sides and move your arms and legs in the snow. And then stand up so as not to damage the snow print - this will be the snow angel. You can compete, whose angel will turn out smoother and more beautiful.
Important! Allow children to fall into a snowdrift only if you know for sure that there are no solid objects in it and the layer of snow is sufficient so that the child does not hurt himself.
Snow lanterns
These lanterns were invented to be made in the Scandinavian countries, try it, what if you like it too? They look especially good at twilight, which comes offensively early in winter.
We do this: first we make a lot of snowballs, and then we add a pyramid out of them. Inside the pyramid is an empty space where a burning candle is placed. If the snow is sticky, you can also sculpt other voluminous geometric shapes - a ball, a cylinder - let the lanterns be of different shapes! It will turn out very mysterious and beautiful.
Tug of war
This game is also good on a winter street, it is especially fun to play if there are a lot of participants. The main thing is to stock up on a suitable rope or rope in advance.
Divide the players into two groups. Start at the leader's command. Excitement captures: everyone needs a victory! The competition always turns out to be incendiary and emotional, and if the losers fall directly into the snow, then this only makes everyone more fun.
Complicated running
If you have a fun company of several guys, hold a competition in a comic run. Mark the distance and specify a complicating condition: when running, you need to hold a small object between your knees, such as a small ice cube or soft toy, and run to the end of the distance and back.
It is fun to compete both individually and in a team race.
Santa Claus
This winter game is a kind of tag, it perfectly warms and amuses. The host - "Santa Claus" - is chosen with the help of a counting rhyme and we hand him a "staff", for example, a branch. The guys on command begin to run around the driver, and he seeks to catch up with someone and certainly touch the “staff”. The salted one himself becomes the driver, and a new round of the game begins.
Important! Choose a “staff” that is light and safe so that its touch cannot cause discomfort to anyone.
Mini picnic
After participating in outdoor games, it is pleasant to rest, drink and warm up.
Prepare in advance and take a thermos with delicious tea with lemon, rose hips, ginger (it is important not to overdo it with this component!), stock up on cardboard cups and after the next fun, invite the guys to drink tea. Such a mini-picnic is usually very popular with both children and adults.
There are many options for winter games, you can invent them yourself depending on weather conditions and the number of participants. It is important that children actively move in winter, despite the frosty weather, this is good for their health and development.

Winter games and outdoor fun are a Russian national tradition.
The abundance of snow and hard frost has never been an obstacle to spending time outdoors. The cold at the same time forced people to come up with active games and entertainment. Many games of our ancestors have survived to this day. Some - unchanged, some - adapted to modern realities. Winter games are very popular with adults and children. Today we will talk about some of them. What can you do outside in winter?
Snow balls
Children have always enjoyed rolling snow balls. They can be used to make snowmen, fortresses or any other structures. You can arrange:
- Competition for the biggest snow globe;
- Relay - who will roll the ball to the finish line faster?
Snowball fight
Snowball throwing is another old Russian winter game. You can throw snowballs, trying to hit a specific target:
- Inside the drawn circle;
- Add to cart;
Snowballs should not be heavy and dense so as not to injure the participants in the game.
Also avoid hitting people.
Snowballs can also be made from crumpled paper. This is especially true in our time, when winters are not snowy.
King of the Hill
This is a winter game loved by many generations and often played by boys. The goal of the game participants is to climb a high snowdrift or a specially constructed snow hill, at least a meter high. Rivals are allowed to pull each other down, in every possible way preventing them from reaching the top. The one who first climbs up and stays there the longest is declared the "King of the Hill".
It is best to have an adult watch the game to prevent injury to the players.
Downhill skiing
A traditional winter game that is still popular today. If earlier they rode mainly on home-made wooden sleds and an ice rink, now you can slide down the mountain on snow scooters and other special devices. You can play gate. They are made from sticks and twigs. The one who rolls down the mountain and passes without hitting the gate wins.
The main thing is to explain to the children that they roll down the mountain only when the previous participant leaves the “landing place”, and it is better to ride the slides in places specially adapted for this, which are often equipped in city parks.
Winter round dance game "Frost"
Round dance games have always been popular with the Russian people. In winter, you can also play round dance, only this game will be more mobile in winter. In the cold season, the usual round dance includes "salki".
- Children hold hands and form a circle.
- “Frost” stands in the center of the circle, which was previously chosen by a counting rhyme.
- The players dance and sing in chorus:
Goes Zimushka-Zima,
She has a white braid.
Three aunts go with her -
White undershirts:
Snowstorm, Blizzard and Snowstorm.
Those aunts have a servant:
Furious Uncle Frost,
Whomever he grabs, he froze.
After that, the children scatter, and "Frost" tries to catch up with someone and "bash", that is, "freeze". The next one is led by the one whom "Frost" knocks down first.
You can make the game more difficult by adding new rules. For example, a frozen person is helped by throwing a snowball next to him, which will “unfreeze” him.
Snow Angel
To create a Snow Angel, lie down in a clean, fresh snowdrift and move your arms up and down the snow. You can simultaneously bring your legs together, and then spread them apart. After that, you need to carefully stand up and admire the resulting figure, which resembles the outlines of angel wings. You can try to create other snow images. Which? Let your imagination lead.
Winter game "I'll Freeze"
This is a very simple winter game that does not require special training. The players stand in a circle and stretch their arms forward. The driver stands in the center of the circle and tries to touch someone's hand.
Children should quickly hide their hands behind their backs so that they are not "frozen". The game requires quick reaction.
Soap bubbles in the cold
You can blow soap bubbles not only in the warm season. Try this winter. Children will be happy to admire the snowflakes that form on a film of water. This is a real miracle!
House made of ice "bricks"
Children love to build houses from scrap materials. In winter, you can build a house from ice "bricks". Of course, this requires special preparation, but the result is worth it. С
- First you need to make "bricks". To do this, water is poured into a rectangular container.
- After freezing, the brick is taken out and left in the cold.
- When enough "bricks" are made, you can start building a house.
- "Bricks" are also made from dense snow.
A child can be told that the Eskimos build their igloo dwellings in a similar way.
Colored houses can be built by first adding colored paints to the water before freezing.
Salochki "At the bear in the forest"
The one who was chosen as the "bear" goes to the "den". The rest of the players run with the words:
At the bear in the forest
I take mushrooms and berries.
And the bear does not sleep
And growls at us.
The bear must run out and catch as many children as they can.
Pathfinder
In winter it is interesting to play Pathfinder. Children will be happy to look for footprints in the snow left by different birds and animals. We must try to guess who left the trail. You can try to find a hidden friend in his footsteps.
Winter offers us many games and entertainment. The main thing is that they are active, mobile, and then the benefits of such a winter pastime will be undeniable!
Do not forget about safety rules.
