lt’s freezing cold outside.You feel like you’ve been stuck inside the house for months. You wonder if winter is ever going to end. It can be challenging to come up with fun activities to fill your time during winter, especially if you normally spend lots of time outside. However, there are actually loads of fun things you can do while it’s cold, both indoors and outdoors.
Do a jigsaw. This is perfect for extra-chilly days. Set the puzzle up on a mat so that it’s easy to move around and complete in stages.
Go bowling. Want to do something sporty and competitive, without freezing to death? Bowling is idea.
Take winter photos. Sparkling icicles, buildings covered in snow, robins… Winter is full of great photo opportunities.
Wrap up warm and go for a walk. A winter walk can be lots of fun, as long as you’re wearing plenty of layers.
Go to an art gallery. Take in some culture and enjoy a hot drink in the cafe.
Stop by your local bookstore or library. Pick up a new book to read or even an old one!

readership area.
