25 Ways To Beat The Blahs

Activities to ward off winter boredom from FamilyFun

Here's one of my favorite secret weapons for turning around a gray day: making fancy cupcakes for no reason at all. The bright colors, the busy hands, the lure of a sugar buzz all have a powerful mood-altering effect. Ahead of time, put on some fun cake decorating supplies: candy hearts, sparkles, decorative roses, tubes of frosting. The fancier the better. When bad moods strike, break out the supplies, along with a batch of cupcakes (store-bought for ease, if you prefer). Let your kids decorate with abandon, then use the results to celebrate the birthday of a stuffed animal or some other worthy occasion.
