Winter is coming and these snow activities will come in handy!
Whether we like it or not. Snow will eventually fall [at least for us up north... we're in Iowa, so its bound to happen].
It always seems hard to get outside in the cold [it especially will this winter with a newborn], but the older boys still will want to get out there and play in the snow!
Since the sandbox will be covered… what can the kids do outside?
I’ve made a list 10 fun outdoor snow activities that I want to do with the kids this winter. Our winter/snow bucket list, I guess.
Get dressed warm and get outside!
10 Snow Activities to do Outside
- Go sledding! Get a sled, make a sled out of cardboard, and just go!
- Build a snowman. Roll some balls, big or small. Build a snowman together. Find rocks for eyes, twigs for arms, and wrap him up warm with a hat and scarf!
- Have a snowball fight! Show the kids how to make a snowball. Have target practice. Set up something to throw at and let the kids get some practice in throwing!
- Build a snow fort. Pack the walls together to build a safe place for hide out! We have a brick mold builder that the boys use in the sandbox and for snow!
- While you’re out shoveling the driveway or sidewalk, let the kids help! Or have them make their own paths… maybe a snow maze!
- Stomp through the snow and make footprints!
- Instead of making your own footprints, look for animal prints! Do you find rabbit prints? Squirrels? Deer? What’s in your backyard?
- Get creative outside in the cold! Paint the snow! Make it colorful!
- After a fresh snowfall, go lay out in it and make some snow angels together. Make a whole family!
- And, one that will surely be a hit with my boys. Load. Dump. Scoop. Pour. Do it in the snow!
When you’re getting outside in the cold weather, be sure to dress warm and take precautions! And be prepared to warm them up when you get inside! Have a cup of hot chocolate waiting for them with little marshmallows on top!
Also, rub down their faces with lotion. Use NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™. Eczema typically affects children on the face, around their eyes or on their knees or elbows. And cold, dry weather is a common trigger and 10-20% of children suffer from it. George has a very mild case of eczema and we treat it with lotion. Eczema is a chronic skin condition where it becomes itchy, reddened, cracked and dry. George gets it on his cheeks in the dry months of the year.
I can tell the Daily Moisturizing Cream from Neosporin’s Eczema Essentials’s Kit is going to come in handy this winter. Its so smooth and creamy and doesn’t sting George has we rub it on his cheeks.
A couple tips to manage eczema this winter:
- Keep the skin protected and warm.
- Use a moisturizer, such as Neosporin’s Eczema Essentials Daily Moisturizing Cream, to prevent windburn.
- Consider supplementing with Vitamin D, but talk to your doctor before doing so.
- Use a humidifier in the bedroom.
- Use a skin care routine that helps manage Eczema, such as Neosporin’s Eczema Essentials Daily Body Wash.
To help manage your eczema this winter, I have a NEOSPORIN® ESSENTIALS™ Kit to giveaway! It includes the following products:
- Neosporin Eczema Essentials Daily Moisturizing Cream

About Jamie Reimer
Oh my family needs this! Two of my children suffer from very dry skin, and it just gets worse in the winter! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you! I get winter eczema, diagnosed by doctor last year. This would help!
We would love a chance to win this….our daughter has Down Syndrome and her skin is very very dry. Every night we put lotion on her and then she sleeps like a baby. If we miss a night she tosses all around because her skin is so dry and itchy! Thanks again.
I have a three year old son and husband who suffer from eczema. We are expecting our second baby on Christmas and this would be one less thing to worry about this season!! Thank you!!
I have a 3 year old boy and 9 month old baby boy who both suffer some eczema. We have tried numerous OTC products but none seem to really work every time. I would LOVE the chance to try these out, I love Neosporin for everything else:) Thank you for this giveaway chance!! vica514@gmail.com
The winter cold is really hard on my son’s skin so I would love to win this.
reklaw422 at hotmail dot com
I work in a dental office, washing and drying my hands many times a day is very drying to my skin. Can’t seem to find something that really works. Would love to try this!!
J.stenger@sbcglobal.net
I just found your blog from Pinterest and have just moved from Arizona to Montana. My little one suffers from eczema and we have been wanting to try that new neosporen line. How interesting that you were doing a giveaway for it and all I was looking or were activities for the snow?! Thanks so much for the tips and the possibility of winning.
We just moved to Indiana from Florida and the dry air is killing mine and my 2yr olds skin. Dry cracked and hurting and nothing seems to help. We would love to try and see if this works.

My family could REALLY use this prize pack. My husband suffers from eczema and the rest of use have very dry skin during the winter months.
my daughter has eczema and I have yet to find something to help her
luckyseattlemom at gmail dot com
Oh wow, we are definitely going to give this stuff a shot! If it really doesn’t sting, this would be worth its weight in gold. I have eczema and so do my boys (2 & 5), but they still love to be out in the cold which makes it way worse. It’s just starting to flair up this year. :-/ Thanks for the timely post! I came looking at your snow ideas, but this was a great bonus!
My friend’s family has very bad eczema. She’s tried everything and they’re still in bad shape. This would be a great blessing to them.
This kit would be of HUGE help to us right now! My 2 year old son suffers from ecxema something terrible! I always make room in my budget to buy the products we need for him, but we’re small business owners and money is TIGHT right now since winter is our slow season. This would help free up some money in the budget while I’m still getting my little man the relief he needs!

This sounds like the perfect kit for my 17 month old grandson who suffers from eczema and is so uncomfortable during the cold, dry winter months!
why I should win??
my daught 3 years old has eczema since she was born, i tried evrything and it keeps coming back specially during this winter season, hope I can try this product, might be the answer to our wish this christmas!!
This kit would be awesome to have. For someone who is always in need of moisturizing of the lips (a kiss would be nice too) I would certainly put this fabulous kit to good use. I have liver problems that cause my skin many problems, especially below the knees and to the feet, I have swelling and it causes itching that I have found little solutions to. So I would love to have something to sample instead of spending my hard earned case for prior to knowing whether it works or not. Does neosporin? I don’t know but would certainly give it a try and look forward to this opportunity. thanks

Oooppps! I forgot to add my email addy. So here it is for Lee and the above comment (cadilacjax@yahoo.com)

I ran across your site last week and started to follow your posts consistently. I havent commented on any kind of blog site just yet but I was considering to start soon. Its truly exciting to actually contribute to an article even if its only a blog. I really dont know exactly what to write other than I really loved reading through a couple of of your articles. Great articles for sure. I will keep visiting your blog regularly. I learned a lot from you. Thanks!
Thanks for the chance to win a great prize! Eczema is no fun and affects my son in winter too. Another trigger for many is food allergy, with eggs and cow milk being common food triggers. If eczema is hard to control, allergy testing may help. janna8476170@ gmail.com
We have a few in our family who are eczema sufferers and the winter is especially challenging, there’s always lots of scratching going on.
This would really help my daughter because she breaks out in contact with fragrances. Thanks for being fragrance free!
Everything that comes in the kit, it used all the time in my household
several members of my family suffer from eczema and are really struggling with it
with 3 kids this would be great for my house
My son has excema just like I did when I was his age. I’d love to win this for him.

My husband has dry skin and would love this.
heartgirl28 (at) hotmail.com
One of my daughters has been diagnosed with eczema, and it’s hard to find lotions that aren’t irritating.
We’re really active in the winter so we could definitely use a boo boo kit!
My father could use this! He has terrible eczema, and many products don’t work!
kduch at optonline dot net
My skin gets so dry during the winter and I am looking for a good product that works and doesn’t make me break out more!
I have wanted to get this for a while.
I should win it so I can share it with my daughter. Chemotherapy has did a number on her poor skin.

For the above entry
my hubby suffers and my oldest is starting to show symptoms.
email for above entry kdentn at gmail dot com
I would love to win this because i’ve battled Eczema for over a year now & I’m going through my lotions to battle it pretty quickly. I’ve never had it before until I had a particularly stressful year & now I have it on my hands and arms. It’s embarrasing and I’m constantly buying lotion to this would be a help most definitely, thanks!
I’ve been looking to find a better way to manage my daughter and husband’s eczema that flares up in the cold weather, haven’t tried neosporin yet. anna.h.hines@gmail.com
thanks!
We just took in our three nieces and nephews, the little baby falls and bruises a lot, from not being taken care of.
I need to win this because both of my children have eczema bad. Year round, not just in the winter. My oldest has had it since he was a baby, and our newborn has it as well!!
My boys get horrible winter eczema.
meg314 at gmail dot com
I had no idea Neosporin made anything for Eczema! My six year old has struggled with horrible eczema all of his life, and we have tried so many different products with less than ideal results. I just want to squall in the winter when it gets so bad and his skin cracks and bleeds. I would give anything to be able to take it from him. Neosporin only puts their name on stuff that WORKS, so you can bet I am looking for these products the next time I am at the drug store!
The above comment – laura.cooper2@gmail.com
My family could certainly use this! My son suffers terribly from eczema and my husband and I both have terribly dry skin in the winter. This could help us get through the winter without any of the skin pain that we always have to deal with! Thanks for the chance!
I would love to win this because I could share it with my whole family! We all have issues with dry skin in the Winter. Also, my boyfriend has been complaining about dry skin lately..so I have a lot of people that could benefit from these products. jessicapeeling@yahoo.com
I should win because my 7 year old son suffered terribly from exzema and we would love to try this product. Thank you.
I would love to win this kit. My nephew has eczema on his arms and none of the products my sister has tried on him seem to work. I know Neosporin has great products for cuts and scrapes but had no idea they have a line of lotions. Maybe this will finally be the solution for my nephews dry skin dilemma.
email: winit4me(at)yahoo(dot)com
My poor son’s excema flairs up when it’s hot in the summer and then when it’s dry in the winter. Half of the year he needs help – and this is just what he could use!!
oops. forgot to include my email – wallest02 at gmail dot com
I live in MN. And MN winter’s are long! And dry! I have about 8 months out of the year where our furnace is running, drying out our air. Lotion is a must! I’d love to give this kit a try!
coriwestphal at msn dot com

To buy the large tubes and other lotions made by that brand is expensive BUT whn you love a product I suppose we make it work. TY
It would be nice to win. My 12 year old son suffers from excema. http://www.sheena_hodge@aol.com
We would love to win this. My oldest son has mild eczema. My youngest has been battling it since he was an infant. He is now 2.5 years old. We found that he has nut allergies and he is now on Claritin daily. It is under better control than it used to be, but now that its getting cold out he is having more problems. It would be nice to have something to use other than the prescriptions.
Even in sunny California this happens, to me! I have a certain spot that responds only to the Neosporin.

- I am kasha i lives in uk and i was in a serious relationship with my ex guy for three good years.. One day we were in a dinner party, we had a little misunderstanding which lead to a Quarrel and he stood up and left me at the dinner party. i try to call him but he was not picking my calls so after than i contacted my brother and told him about it,my brother so much love me that he had to see him on my behalf,he told my brother that it is over between us.. Then i contacted a friend of mine that had this similar experience and she directed me to one of the spiritual diviner (maduraitemple@yahoo.com).at first i thought it was not going to be possible and i contacted him i was ask to come up with a little requirement,so i did what i was ask to do, after 3 days i was in my office when my ex guy called me and was asking me to forgive him and come back to him. i was very surprise it was like a dream to me,so ever since we have been happily married with one kid my lovely baby(Ceslav)…i wish you the best of luck…
