Favorite snow day activities?

[flatstanley72]

What are some of your favorite (indoor) snow day activities for younger children? I have a 4 yo DD and 20 month old DS and am looking for new ideas as we have another snowstorm coming tonight. Playing in the snow doesn't keep us busy for long because they get cold, so I'm trying to get ideas for indoor activities. I'd love to hear what some of your favorites are! Thanks!

We like to make maple candy, the way it's described in Little House in the Big Woods. Fill up a frying pan with packed snow, leave it on the back porch to keep cold. Heat up maple syrup till it forms a ball when dropped into a cup of water. Pour in patterns on the snow.

Stuff's a dentist's nightmare, but it's so tasty.

We make "snow" scenes using whatever blue/white/silver craft supplies I have lying around

We bake cakes! 

We snuggle and read books and watch movies

We take long baths

Lots of arts and crafts: drawing, painting, cutting and gluing, stamping, making play-dough or other various slimes (like these), sewing (dd can help pick out fabrics and stuff and we'll make some simple thing together like a skirt or a pillow).

Also, baking, reading books, yoga DVDs, movies, skype with nana, playing with her toys, cleaning (dd loves to help clean!).
