Cold weather is no reason to sacrifice family fun time. This printable sheet of family winter bucket list ideas has lots of activities that will bring you closer as a family.
Family Winter Bucket List Ideas
Many of the ideas on this family winter bucket list are self-explanatory. I’ve also linked each item from the list to a helpful recipe, tutorial or product to help you check off each bucket list item.
Because of the popularity of my Random Acts of Kindness Christmas Calendar for Kids, I’ve included a few kindness acts in this bucket list as well. I can’t think of a better way to help children develop charitable hearts than to make it a fun family activity!
The things I’ve linked to are just suggestions. In fact, the whole list is just suggestions and ideas to help you enjoy more family time this winter. Hopefully, you’ll find some ideas you really like.

Thank you for the list and I will be using it to bring my family closer together getting us off Electronics. Because I saw a couple things my son hasn’t ever done which will allow us to make new Memories this year.

So many fun ideas! We wrote up a winter bucket list but have yet to tackle most of the stuff on it as we’ve had unseasonably warm weather without any snow yet this year. (Not that I’m complaining!) Pinned.

What a fun collection of activities. Thanks for including my personalized mugs. Looking forward to making snow ice cream when the first snowfall comes.
