The dead of winter is most definitely my least favorite time of year. Here in the northeast, it’s gray and cold and sometimes icy. While I’m all for trying to get the kids outside as much as possible, sometimes 20 minutes is all their rosy cheeks and frozen extremities can handle. That leaves a whole lot of hours in the day to fill. Come February, we can really use a little help in the indoor fun department.
These nine activity books are a fun way to keep kids busy and entertained in wintry weather.

by Penguin Young Readers Licenses
Fans of the Australian hit TV series Bluey will love joining Bluey and Bingo as they play their favorite games. With a wide variety of activities like coloring, mazes, and stickers, there's no shortage of fun to be had.

150 Things to Make and Do with Peppa
by Golden Books
If you’re looking for an activity book that will delight young readers, look no further than Peppa Pig’s big book of crafts, games, recipes, and more. Keep up all the little piggy fun with the companion paper doll book, too!

This book will blow kids’ minds. Unlike a typical book, readers are encouraged to explore this picture book through imaginative play. From bending pages to smelling them, the book encourages a reading experience that engages all five senses.
(Ages 5 – 8)
by B.J. Novak
If your family is anything like ours, The Book with No Pictures was an instant favorite. This fill-in-the-blanks version puts power into little readers’ hands as they make up ridiculous words that grown-ups will have to say when they read it. Complete with nonsense stickers for inspiration, kids will adore creating their very own book with no pictures.
(Ages 5 – 8)

Escape This Book! Race to the Moon
