Daily Idea #228: Snowcakes

We are now officially in winter! The winter solstice was a few days ago so the days will start to get longer but it may feel like it’s going to take a while to get through these colder winter months. One of my favorite things to do in the winter is bake— it fills the house with delicious smells and warmth from the over. In some areas, the temperatures have dropped and we’ve seen a lot of snow already. So while we are inside baking our animal friends are still looking for food (we don’t get snow where I am, however our animal friends could still enjoy this treat). For today’s daily idea, we are going to make Snowcakes.

Get bundled up and head outside to a field, a park, or even your back yard. Gather snow to make a “cake”. Decorate your snow cake with carrots, bird seed, lettuce, apples, and other fruits and veggies. If you don’t have snow in your area you can still bring some fruits and veggies outside for the animals, but instead of putting them in the snow, you can arrange them in a picture first.
