TOP FORT COLLINS INDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

December 21, 2017 by Impact Chiropractic

Happy Winter Solstice!!  With the cold weather, comes “bored” kids.  They feel like they’re stuck inside with nothing to do, especially during winter break and time away from school.  Below we’ll discuss what not to do, and some better options for your kids during these winter months.

What not to do with your kiddos this winter:

TV watching: It is a passive activity and does not allow for exercise or socialization. It is recommended that kids over the age of 2 watch no more than 2 hours per day, and kids under 2 shouldn’t be put in front of a television at all.

Video games: Even though there are more interactive games out there today, this is still not a good option.  Video games can lead to increased attention problems in children.

Shopping:  Usually kids don’t want to go to the store with you.  For them it means long lines, lots of people, and seeing a lot of items that mom and dad say “no” to.  This can cause temper tantrums and unneeded stress for the parents.

Some ideas to do at home instead:

Play in the snow, bundle them up and build a snow fort or a snow man.  Let them be creative and use their imagination.

Look at “Pinterest” for some craft inspiration and try out a few, this will keep their hands and brains busy.

Cook healthy meals, let your kids do most of the work.  They will feel needed and also provide them with good nutrition.

Write your own stories and act them out with the kiddos.  This helps develop language and personal skills.

If you’re feeling the need to get out of the house, here is Impact’s list of “Top Fort Collins Indoor Activities for Kids.”  Check them out yourself:

Museum of Discovery:  Head to the museum for a day of science, history and culture. The “Music & Sound Lab” is one of our personal favorites, besides the animal vertebra of course.  Kids (3-12) get in for $6, and FREE admission for kiddos under 2!! Adults prices are $9.50.  It’s a fairly inexpensive way to get your kiddos brains working.

 

Cool Beans:  Try out an indoor playground for kids under the age of 8.  Fees vary from FREE to babies under 9 months, up to $6 for kids over the age of 1.  While the kids play, you can eat lunch and even have a great cup o’ joe.

 

 

Poudre River Public Library:  Choose from 1 of 3 locations around town.: Old Town, Harmony, or Council Tree.  Each facility has great areas for kiddos to read and play.  Story time is offered at various times throughout the day, check their website for current times.  https://www.poudrelibraries.org

 

FlyHigh:  This is something for the older kids.  This trampoline park has it all: foam pits, basketball hoops, dodgeball.  This will get them moving, but use your best judgement at this fun park.  Most injuries happen to adults at trampoline parks, kids “bounce back” literally more quickly than their parents do.

Make sure safety is always a priority; and if something happens call Impact – your favorite Fort Collins Chiropractor!
