This is a recipe that I grew up on in New England. After a heavy
snowfall.
Gather a bucket of fresh clean new snow and keep it just outside the
kitchen door. Melt a stick of butter with Maple syrup (about 1 cup) or
packed brown sugar (1 cup) boil down until the consistency of thick
syrup. Get the bucket of new snow and pour the syrup right over the
snow. Allow the children to take pieces right off and eat. It's alot
like toffee, but we used to be just thrilled. It seemed like the snow
was a magic ingredient.

Make a birdhouse out of a
milk carton. Really simple and really rewarding. Cut hole in each
of the 4 sides of the carton. Push stick or twig through two sides (under
hole opening) fill with birdseed (up to cut out hole) hand on tree and watch
all the little birdies feast!! Perfect for this time of year!!
Plastic baggie (Ziploc) filled with crumpled up tissue paper. Tie middle
with pipe cleaner. Add antennae and you have a beautiful butterfly.
Can be done with dryer cloths too!!
Apple sauce ice cream cones!! Perfect for winter when ice
cream can be too cold. A huge hit at our house!!
