Snow Activities

Shoveling snow has been a chore in Minnesota for as long as any of us can remember. In order to get cars out of the driveway after a night-time snowfall, we must bundle up and grab our shovels. The piles of snow of the side of your driveway are a reminder of the early mornings and long hours spent walking with your shovel, but those piles can also be the staple for fun, family activities.

Build a Fort

With the sides of your driveway housing the most snow in your yard, it is the perfect place for you, along with your friends and family, to build a snow fort. Snow forts can range for as little as digging a trench, to as in-depth as creating a snow castle.

Have a Snowball Fight
A snowball fight is a fun event for people of all ages. You don’t need a lot of snow, or a lot of people, to have a snowball fight. You can spontaneously throw the first snowball towards one of your friends or loved ones, or take the time to plan teams and organize a full event with your friends and neighbors. You can also utilize the fort you may have created on the side of your driveway!

Use as a Blank Canvas

Snow paint is easy and inexpensive. A squirt bottle, some food coloring, and water are the only things you need to send your kids out for some artistic fun. Here are the full instructions!

Now that you know the snow of the side of your driveway is not just a reminder of your time shoveling, but also a place for fun with your family and friends, take advantage of it!
