January 2024 DealDash Family Fun Ideas

As the year unfolds, memories of winter’s past might be stirring a sense of cabin fever in you and your loved ones. Let’s join DealDash and rediscover cherished outdoor activities to enjoy with your family.

January often evokes a longing for the old days when winter was a time of wonder rather than just a cold season. The short, dark days and the possibility of snow can lead to feelings of being cooped up. Yet, there’s a certain magic in stepping outside and creating joyful memories with your family. Here’s a compilation from DealDash of heartwarming family activities to bring some old-fashioned fun to your January days.

Family Fun – Relive the Magic of Snow

First up, these activities will remind you of the snowy days of yesteryear, especially for those in wintry regions – like me in New England. And for those in warmer places, these ideas can be enjoyed during a trip up north. Recall the childhood excitement for snow, which is a stark contrast to our adult view of it as a mere inconvenience. Enjoy these activities that are snow fun!

• Glide across an ice rink, like in days gone by – solo, with a partner, or the whole fam
• Build a classic snowman and create snow angels, reliving childhood joys with your little ones
• Revisit the thrills of skiing, snow tubing, or snowboarding – perfect for the little athletes in the family

Cherish Family Fun Time with Sweet Animals

Next, why not enjoy the simple pleasure of a visit to some furry (or finned) friends? Spending time with animals is a timeless activity, bringing warmth and joy, regardless of the season. Also, consider these nostalgic outings to enjoy with your family:

• A visit to a small quaint animal farm or petting zoo
• A leisurely day at a large zoo, perhaps quieter in the off-season
• A warm, inviting trip to the aquarium – no matter the temperature outside, the aquarium is warm and toasty

Cozy Indoor Moments – Inspired by DealDash

At times, the winter weather can be a little too chilly for venturing outside. So, in these moments, find comfort and fun indoors. DealDash can help bring back the charm of indoor family gatherings with a few things that will remind you of your own childhood.

• Create an old-fashioned indoor picnic, complete with basket and blanket
• Organize a classic family movie night, with homemade popcorn – made using an antique-style popper from DealDash
• Bake cookies together, using traditional family recipes on cookie sheets from DealDash
• Gather around for time-honored board games like Monopoly or Scrabble, or explore new games that your kids will love

So for a treasure trove of games that evoke nostalgia, turn to DealDash. From classic favorites like RISK to modern classics like Small World and Villainous, there’s a game to rekindle the warmth of family time. Also, if you need inspiration, check out The Dark Imp blog for ideas.
