Beat the chill: DIY indoor winter activities for kids
You know the drill by now. You spend 10 minutes bundling up your kiddos in their winter gear. They troop outside into the snow and cold with big talk about building a snow fort, nailing each other with a flurry of snowballs, or building the best snowman since Frosty. Then—surprise, surprise—five minutes later, they’re back inside saying it’s too cold to play outside.
For those icy-cold winter days when you don’t want them plugged into screens all day, what do you do?
We’ve got ideas for indoor fun! Keep your kids tied up all day with fun activities, many of them aromatherapy inspired. They get to make special wintertime memories while you get to curl up with that new book and sip hot cocoa!

Young Living’s Desert Mist Ultrasonic Diffuser functions as a humidifier, atomizer, and aroma diffuser in one simple-to-use product. Inspired by the design of a stylish Moroccan trellis, the Desert Mist Diffuser brings an exotic and modern look to any space. It also helps support a natural environment by replacing harmful household fragrance chemicals with naturally derived essential oils.
Using ultrasonic frequency technology, the Desert Mist Diffuser generates waves at 1.7 million per second, breaking down essential oils and water into millions of microparticles, dispersing them into the air, and releasing the oils’ unique constituents. This diffuser is custom designed to diffuse continuously for 5–6 hours on High mode, 8 hours on Low mode, and 10 hours on Intermittent mode.* It also offers 11 individual light settings, including a candle-like flicker mode.
