The winter season in Canada is a time for many different activities. Some people enjoy skiing or snowboarding, while others prefer to go ice skating or build snowmen. No matter what you enjoy doing, there is sure to be something to keep you entertained during the winter months in Canada.

What are the activities done in winter season ?

If you fear cold and snow, and you feel lazy to do Outdoor Activities, you probably ask this great question : 

    How can I enjoy winter indoors?

    During the winter months, you may spend more time indoors with your family. This is a great time to try out new hobbies, games and crafts. Below are some fun indoor activities you can try:

    Making Crafts

    Explore your own creativity and experience the satisfaction of creating something with your own hands. If you have kids, try these crafts.

    Paper Snowflakes:

    You can hang these in your windows to add some winter magic to your home. All you need is a piece of white paper, a pen and scissors. 

    Snowman Craft:

    If it's too cold to make a snowman outside, make a paper or string snowman instead. Here is a paper snowman, and here is a thread snowman.

    Knit or Crochet

    Make yourself a comfy scarf, hat, and more (great for Canadian winters!) To knit, you need yarn and needles. STASH is the best place in Calgary to pick up knitting supplies. Click here for a knitting video for beginners. Decorate your holiday jumper:

    Visit The Indoor Garden

    Do you miss the green of living plants? In Calgary, plants grow indoors during winter.

    The Devonian Gardens in downtown Calgary are full of plants and are free to visit. In addition to the gardens, there is a children's playground, a koi pond, and occasional art exhibitions and concerts.
