Hot Chocolate Time!
What better drink is there in the winter than hot chocolate?! Make some hot chocolate together with your children. Explain the steps, and have them help measure the chocolate and stir it into the milk. If you have them, let them count how many marshmallows they want. Then while drinking hot chocolate together, read one these great books about hot chocolate! Even if you are not drinking hot chocolate, you can make this winter popsicle stick mug together.
