50+ Things To Do At Home During Winter

January 1, 2018 By Narkis 1 Comment

winter activities home

While summer brings happiness to my life, Winter brings snow and rain. Sure, first rain is always very exiting, the smell, the solid excuse to stay home… But after a few times of staying home and being a total bum I’ll get sick of it. I’ll be extremely bored from lack of challenge. 

Personally, being half millennial, half adult? It’s to stop my phone addiction and actually get creative with my time. Nonetheless, I looked for things to fill those freezing days and may have found too many 😉 Now I can’t choose between all the possibilities!

I’ve listed the activities in categories, so if you don’t want to try a DIY, you can continue to winter recipes 🙂 

Organize Your Home

You have all this time to spare, so get motivated and take charge of your home!

  • Purge your closet
  • Organize your fridge 
  • Organize the pantry 
  • Organize your night stands 
  • Declutter make-up and skin care
  • Go paperless at home.

Pick Up A New Hobby Or Skill

Every time I see a cool project or a DIY I wish I knew how to do all sort of stuff that I can’t. So winter is a great time to actually learn some of these skills!

  • Learn to play an instrument.
    Guitar is a popular and easy choice. 
  • Coloring
    I love these coloring posters. So much crazier than a plain coloring book!
  • Drawing & Doodling
    You can watch Youtube videos or go pro and get an instructions book.
  • Water coloring
  • Sawing
  • Writing
    I love writing as a hobby. There are many positive influences of writing, and enough guides to get you started.
  • Graphic design
    This is a skill that will be a lot of fun and effective as well. Try Skill Share and learn from the best if you are serious about mastering it. As a beginner you can start with youtube videos and see where it takes you.
  • Start a scrapbook
  • Cooking – Learn the basics

 Eat & Drink

If you decided to take on cooking, Consider starting with one of these wonderful winter recipes:

  • Make hot chocolate 
  • Bake an eggnog cake
  • Bake banana bread
    If you’ve just started experimenting with baking, banana bread is the perfect recipe to start with! 
  • Make soup
    Soup is such an easy way to start cooking, most recipes are very simple! Pinterest is filled with amazing ideas.
  • Order food delivery service
    Defiantly one of the easiest ways to master cooking very easily. I order Blue Apron from time to time. They send you the exact measurements you need, so no food goes to waste. In addition, they will send a beautiful card with ingredients pictures and direct instructions.

Enjoy a DIY Project

Small DIY projects are a win-win in this situation: You won’t be bored, and you’ll make your space beautiful! Some of these projects are perfect to keep you warm in a winter wonderland.
  • Revamp your book case 
  • Create letters with flowers
  • Winter canvas art 
  • Create hand made holiday cards
  • Create your own ornements
  • Make your own coasters for that hot chocolate. 
  • Make an oil lamp 
  • Create dot art 
  • Create a cute pompom pillow 
  • Or a pompom rug 

winter things to do

Play Computer Games

Even though video games are not for everybody, I believe there’s a game for you somewhere! I love adventure games which makes me think and solve riddles. The second kind I love are simulation games like “the sims” and all the tycoon games. They give the ability to create a world! How is that not pure fun? 
  • Monkey Island 
  • Grim Fandango 
  • Broken Age 
  • The Sims 
  • Roller Coaster Tycoon 

Entertainment

  • Read a novel
  • Read a self improving book 
  • Be a kid again and do a harry potter marathon. 
    I love reading the books but a movie marathon is also wonderful!
  • Read that book that you loved as a movie
  • Binge a new Netflix show 
  • Have a movie night 

All Other Activities

  • Have a home science projects 
  • Have a spa night 
  • Try yoga
  • Take an online class
  • Start blogging
  • Do a puzzle
  • Take pictures of potential outfits 
    If you’re bored, it’s the perfect time to plan ahead! Have fun with your wardrobe, think of outfits and take pictures of them. Next time you’ll be in a rush – you’ll have a backup outfit! 
  • Do a home work out.
    Even tho I want it to be, winter is not an excuse to not work out. Youtube is full of easy workouts you can do at home. 

For someone who can’t stand the cold like me, it doesn’t take snow to keep me home. Diverse options of things to do is so important to have on hand so you won’t end up with your phone in your hands.
