Winter WonderPlay: Cold Weather Activities for Baby Brain Building

Written By Emani Taylor

Snowy days and chilly temps can keep families inside—but that doesn’t mean learning pauses. Cold-weather months offer tons of opportunity for movement, sensory play, and bonding that supports early development.

Indoor Learning Ideas:

  • Blanket forts for pretend play

  • Tupperware drumming for sound exploration

  • Reading books with winter themes

  • Sensory bins with cotton balls, scarves, or bells

  • Dance parties to warm up and boost motor skills

🏠 Tip: Keep a box of “winter brain builders” ready for snow days and cabin fever.
