When it's cold outside, there is nothing like a game or puzzle to keep you warm indoors. Unless you like playing in the crisp air outdoors where you can see your breath! You can play plenty of fun winter games outside, too, especially if there is snow. Either one is a great choice as long as you've got the right clothing. Don't go outside in your slippers!
Wherever you are this winter, there are some great activities and books to keep your brain working and having fun.
