Since school will be on break, Winter (or snow day) is the perfect time for making crafts with your children. You can make creative snowmen outside or similar crafts or stay indoors and make snowmen from CDs/DVDs, felt, chenille sticks, cotton and craft foam.
You can also make snowflakes from beautiful beads or paper and silver glitter. You can make real crystal snowflake by using borax (also called 20 Mule Borax Laundry Booster) and boiling water (ask an adult to help).
