Little fidgets love to ride downhill, skiing, skating, snowmobiling. With great pleasure they sculpt a snowman and make snow fortresses. And this is true, because one of the diverse factors affecting the health and development of a preschool child is physical activity.

Even the most ordinary walk can turn into a fun holiday thanks to games and creativity in the snow.
Winter holidays is a unique opportunity to spend joint leisure time for children and parents, actively use the time for health benefits, plunging into the magic of winter fun. So what are they, fun?
Snow masterpieces
An adult perceives snow as precipitation, which does not make it easy to move along the road, and children love snow for its many accumulations of beautiful, dissimilar snowflakes. Moreover, snow for children is a material for creativity. Snowmen, towers, fortresses, caves of unprecedented size, all such masterpieces can be seen in every yard during the winter holidays.
Painting in the snow with aerosol paints is no less exciting. Snow-white background, soft texture help to create amazing New Year's drawings.
The most favorite game of all girls and boys in the winter is "Snowballs". And not in vain! During this game, motor activity, eye, finger motor skills develop, and ringing laughter causes a positive emotional mood.
Skates and skis
We all know the benefits of being active. A large selection of skates will not leave indifferent neither children nor parents, and skating will bring a lot of pleasure. To avoid injuries, it is necessary to use protective equipment: a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads.
According to experts, skating promotes the development of the musculoskeletal system, strengthens the back muscles, develops the correct posture, as well as the prevention of flat feet.
Skiing is a useful and exciting activity. Even breathing will enrich the lungs with oxygen, and the landscapes of the winter park will leave pleasant impressions.
snow Hill
Children are delighted with skiing from a steep snowy mountain. Go to the nearest hills, so that with a healthy blush and unhealthy shortness of breath, ride with your child on a sled, ice rink, just standing on your feet. The feeling is incomparable.
The rapid downward movement overwhelms the child with feelings and emotions. Well, if mom and dad are hooked on the trailer, there is no limit to joy!
Help animals and birds
During the winter holidays, you can make a birdhouse or feeder, hang it in the park or in the yard, filling it with bird seeds or nuts for squirrels. Watching how titmouses peck grains from a homemade feeder or how a squirrel takes nuts into a hollow is a fascinating sight for kids. At the same time, the child develops a sense of love, care and responsibility for our smaller brothers.
Walks with the whole family
Walking, breathing fresh air is necessary in any weather for both adults and children, because nature has no bad weather. But when the air temperature reaches 15 degrees below zero, it is recommended to reduce the walking time in order to avoid frostbite. It is important to choose the right clothes and shoes, the movement should not be constrained, so as not to experience discomfort.
Walks can be organized in the courtyard of the house with benefits, for example, to clear the paths from snow. Leisure in the park today is full of entertainment programs: sledding, skiing, skating, winter bikes, ice figures, hot treats.
Having left the city with the whole family, you can enjoy the beauty of winter landscapes, vast expanses of snow-covered fields and trees. Russian winter is the splendor of nature! And all this can be captured on a camera, make homemade sketches from memory. At the same time, the child will not only have a pleasant time, but will also acquire artistic and aesthetic skills. Discussing such walks, the child will receive unforgettable impressions and enrich his vocabulary.
Do not justify your boring leisure time with unpleasant cold weather. A little desire and activity should be shown, and the winter holidays for a child can turn into a small planet of entertaining hobbies, interesting leisure and emotional pleasure. In his memory, this will become the warmest and most pleasant memory associated with spending joint leisure time with his parents.
Haven't decided yet how you will spend your winter holidays? Where to go with a child warm countries, which ski resort or country boarding house is better to choose and what to do in hometown with the whole family, if trips are not planned? We have prepared 5 best ideas for winter family vacation that will definitely suit you.
Overseas countries - basking in winter under the summer sun
What could be better than flying out of a cold winter into summer? For lovers of the hot sun and warm sea most best view winter holiday- warm countries.
When choosing a country for a holiday with children in such countries, pay attention to the flight time, as it is often very difficult for little fidgets to sit out more than 10 hours on an airplane. Basically, winter family holidays are spent in following countries: Egypt, UAE, Thailand, Turkey, Dominican Republic.
A significant disadvantage of such a holiday is acclimatization, because the difference in climatic conditions, water, food can adversely affect children's health. Winter holidays last about 10 days, and according to doctors, it takes more than 14 days for a child to successfully acclimatize and improve his health.
Therefore, such holidays will not bring much health benefits, and the resulting stress for the body can be enormous. It should also be noted that such winter vacations are far from a budget vacation option, and only families with above-average incomes can afford it.
Snow, frost and fresh air - we are going to a ski resort
Of course, it would be fabulous to leave the slushy winter for beautiful snow-capped mountains. Ski resorts in Austria, Finland, Poland, Bulgaria and the Carpathians are in demand among our tourists. In Austria, spending the winter holidays with your family will turn out to be very expensive, with an insufficiently high level of service.
Bulgaria is ideal for families ski holidays: the slopes of its mountains are wide and even, the prices for food and accommodation are real for average and high incomes, there is no obvious language barrier, good level service.
In addition, almost all ski resorts have children's rooms with animators who, for a small fee, can sit with small children while you conquer the mountain peaks.
Winter holidays spent in the mountains will certainly have a positive impact on the health of the child. Fresh air, outdoor sports, good food, a beloved family nearby are the main components of a great winter holiday.
The disadvantages of such a holiday include the financial component, since the rental of ski equipment, payment for the services of an instructor, rental housing, meals and tickets will empty your wallet significantly.
Country boarding house or sanatorium. Why not?
If there is no time and financial opportunity to travel to distant countries, and you really want to take your child out of the city, then why not go to a sanatorium or boarding house? Good food, a lot of affordable entertainment, fresh air and a sea of interesting acquaintances - this is all inherent in the winter holidays in a boarding house outside the city.
There are many advantages in such a vacation: from accessibility to health benefits. Just imagine how you and your family are walking through a fabulously beautiful winter forest, how the frost adorns the cheeks of your children with a blush.

New Year holidays- a long-awaited time for both children and adults. So many amazing plans and expectations for holiday miracles these days. It is especially pleasant that during the winter holidays you can relax with the whole family.
And that is why this time is one of the most difficult tests for both children and (especially!) Parents. How to spend a stress-free vacation, not only not get tired of the rest, but also to accumulate energy and gain strength for the long, difficult months that await us after?
Here are some tips on how to new year holidays usefully.
Travel holidays
Your idea of the perfect vacation may be different for you and your child. And he doesn’t care that you put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to organize a trip, for example, to Paris. The child most of all wanted to go skiing or go to visit his grandmother for pies. This happens quite often. To ensure that traveling with children does not turn into torture for everyone, you need to plan everything from the very beginning so that everyone can find something to their liking.
Well, it's boring for a child to watch the masterpieces of world art, but he loves crafts - introduce him to the relevant professions, find a pottery workshop or show him a blacksmith. Is it not interesting for children to listen to a tour about the wooden architecture of Rostov for seven hours? Take them to watch how they make Rostov enamel or beat the bell, or ride the slides, in case of emergency. In every corner of the world, there is sure to be something that will captivate your child specifically: a music store, a water park, a technical museum, an exhibition of comics or dolls, a trip to the places of Harry Potter battle glory, a designer shop. After all, there are playgrounds everywhere. Was it worth it to cross half the world to ride a swing? For him, yes.
It is important when planning a trip to take into account the interests of all family members, even if they seem a little strange to you and you would dream of not leaving the Louvre for a week. Well, if you try and prepare interesting stories, then in any city and museum everyone will walk with pleasure.
Holidays at home
Sometimes, after months of daily stress, the most desired rest is just to be at home, not to rush anywhere, not to plan anything, not to spend three hours on the road. This is a great solution, but there is a danger that you will spend two weeks with the whole family in a fog, moving between the dining table, sofa and TV, and get tired of relaxing in the first week. Doctors say the only way to deal with hibernation is physical activity. If you stay at home, you will have to ride ice rinks, walk in the park, jump on a trampoline, climb a climbing wall - anything, just don't sit still.
Lying down with a book for two weeks is the blue dream of adults, but the child must have an adventure on vacation, something that he will remember and talk about. And this is not a second-rate tree with harmful candy as a gift. It should be something important and desirable for him: a movie, a concert, hockey game, a snowman sculpting workshop or robotics - it doesn’t matter, the main thing is that it should be what he wants, and not what you think is useful or where you managed to get tickets.
Most of all, our children in everyday life lack, oddly enough, communication with loved ones: gather friends and relatives, visit with the whole family, simple gatherings with tea and board games in a warm company can become the most memorable event of the New Year.
Studying on holidays
Many parents worry that during the holidays their children will forget what they have learned, and they perceive their free time as an opportunity to improve subjects that are difficult to learn. The most harmful thing that can be done on New Year's days is to force the child to solve examples or cram the rules. It will give nothing but horror and hatred. But vacations are really a great time to teach a student to enjoy intellectual work, to make studying seem to him not a heavy burden, but an endless source of joy from knowledge.
For this, it is necessary that there be a cult of this knowledge in the family. When we scold children for not wanting to learn, it is worth considering what are we learning ourselves? The option “I graduated from my universities a long time ago” is not accepted. New Year's holiday is the perfect time for self-development: go to an ebru painting workshop together or a lecture on game theory, sign up for a tour of the planetarium, or simply search the Internet for popular science films. And you can also attend developmental trainings or even.
There are many games that, while entertaining, perfectly reinforce school knowledge: mathematical ones, such as "Okay" or "Rummikub", language ones, for example, "Erudite". There is a very fun game "Hat", when you need to guess the character with the help of questions, and you agree to guess only real historical figures. Or another very funny fun: take a book, open it to any page and read the first two paragraphs; let everyone else continue this story to the best of their imagination - a great way to learn how to write essays.
Holidays - a break from control
At school, our children every day are in a very regulated world, full of rules, laws, prohibitions, where everyone is given grades. In fact, psychologically it is very difficult. Let them relax on vacation, just be themselves. Holidays are a great time when you do not need to ask the child what he received, whether he did his homework, whether he filled out the diary. It is also important for parents to take a break from constant control. Appreciate it and enjoy mutual freedom.
How to spend winter holidays? Winter holidays- this is not a reason to eat, get drunk and lie in bed to your heart's content, watch movies all day long, sleep until dinner. This type of recreation has never benefited anyone.

An economy alternative to such resorts can be called a trip to the village. If you do not have a country house or a grandmother in the distant wilderness, now it is very common green tourism. This is when you can rent a house from beautiful surroundings and spend a few days there.
