The snow is too cold to stick together to pack and roll balls for a snowman. It's too cold to enjoy skiing and other winter sports for very long. Do you have any ideas for fun cold weather projects?
How about making ice candles? Silicone molds are available to make cup shaped ice containers. And all you have to do is fill them with water and set them outdoors. They freeze rapidly when the outdoor temps are below zero°!
You can add decorations, such as these evergreen sprigs, into the water before freezing the ice cups.
They look lovely outdoors on a cold still winter night and the votive candles burn for quite a while if the wind is not blowing.
LED flameless candles would keep the ice cup from melting and wouldn't blow out in the wind.
The best part is that you can enjoy them by staying indoors where it is warm and looking out the window!
Another fun project is to fill balloons with colored water to create snow globes to decorate the edges of your walkway. In the bitter cold temperatures that we have been having these giant ice cubes last a long time.
A word of warning. The colored water makes a mess if the ballon pops when you are filling it in the sink!
