    3. Go pine cone hunting. There are so many uses for pinecones. You can make a Valentines day display with them or turn them into bird food.
    4. Plan a winter scavenger hunt. Go on a family hike with a list of outdoor things to look for (birds, pine cones, cool looking sticks, squirrels, etc.)

    6. Roast marshmallows in your backyard if you have an area to do so in. Then you can watch the winter stars in the sky when you are done.
