If you live in a part of the country that limits outdoor play during the winter months, there are still ways to utilize your outdoor toys indoors during the frigid months.

Try these fun tips from other parents:*

• Move your sandbox indoors and fill it with dried beans
• Turn your living room into a playground with an indoor/outdoor friendly fold-up slide
• Set up a picnic table in the kitchen for kid-friendly seating during family events
• Take a roller coaster ride through the family room
• Play mini-golf indoors
• Set up a small climber in your child’s bedroom. One mom said by doing this, her son “loves to put his toys on the platform and throw them down the slide as well as climb up and down the slide.”
