Snow Day? 10 Things To Do When The Kids Are Stuck At Home.

Here's a list of 10 things to do on a snowy day without leaving the driveway.

• Bake or cook. Bathing suit season isn't for a few months, so your New Year's resolutions can wait as you indulge in sweet treats or comfort foods that warm up the house (and your belly).
• Fashion shoot. Play dress up with old Halloween costumes, take photos, crank up the dance music and have fun on the hallway runway.
• Arts and crafts. You could make a bird feeder (add peanut butter and seeds to any pine cone), paint a masterpiece, make your own Play-Dough or try other crafty ideas.
• Clean the house. Putting away all those empty boxes, unplayed-with-toys, and dirty laundry will invigorate you and (if you're lucky) your kids will get tired and take a nap.
• Play in the snow. You don't have to stay inside just because the roads are bad. Get creative with your snowman art or go sledding -- but dress warmly, and make sure s'mores and hot chocolate are ready to go after! Also, older kids looking to make a little extra money, can shovel the sidewalk at your or your neighbors' house.
• Puzzles. Going to pieces? Put them together.
• Board games. Bored? Games like Monopoly, Life, Risk and chess can help with that.
• Build a fort. Whether you want to build a fortress for an epic pillow fight or have tea inside a princess castle made out of blankets, a fort will keep the kids occupied and make you want to play along.
• Computer games. Discovery Kids has lots of fun ones, including one where you can build a virtual roller coaster, PBS Kids lets kids play with Curious George and Daniel Tiger, and Nick Games has everything from Spongebob and the Power Rangers to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
• Story time. Get cozy on the couch, by the fireplace if you've got one, and read to your kids.
