Creating memories together is an important part of family connection. With this Winter Bucket List, you can check off simple, fun ideas that will capture moments and make the most of the winter months.
I chose things for the list that were simple and were either free or cost very little. You can download and print off the bucket list to keep on your fridge or bulletin board.
As you finish items, you can cross them off. You can do them in order or choose the order that works best for your family.
Things don’t have to go perfectly or be planned out far in advance. The most important thing is to really be in the moment together.
