10 Fun Things to Do in January

Marshmallow SnowmenJust because it's cold out doesn't mean there aren't lots of fun things to do with your family in January—and, don't worry, I've included a few indoor ideas, too.

1. Build a snowman family. No snow? Make a marshmallow snowman family!

2. Snuggle-up in a blanket and read a snowy-themed book.

3. Surprise the kids with a skiing or snowboarding trip.

4. Go rock climbing (in the warm indoors).

5. Sip a delicious hot drink by the roaring fire.

6. Visit a New Jersey museum or nature center.

7. Walk a quiet boardwalk at the Jersey Shore—or be crazy and join a polar bear plunge.Kids sledding

8. Cheer on the Pirates at a Seton Hall basketball game

9. Join family and friends for a big group outing to ice skate, sled, or cross-country ski.

10. Tell knock-knock jokes to your kids and listen to them laugh.

This list is adapted from the article 112 Awesome Things To Do in 2012 that first appeared in the January issue of New Jersey Family. Click here to discover lots more fun family activities and things to do!

About This Blog

There's nothing artificial in these blog posts from New Jersey's hardest-working women. Where to go, what to do, and how to do it—with kids—are all part of the mix.

Meet Our Bloggers!

Judy Grover is the editor of New Jersey Family and the mom of two rambunctious boys, who, she admits, completely run the household.

Anna Sandler lives happily ever after with her Jersey-raised husband and three NYC-born children in the land of jug handles and disco fries. She loves baking and crafting with her kids, even if everything they make doesn't turns out Pinterest-perfect. Anna has never met a holiday she doesn't want to celebrate, and enjoys sharing ideas for everyday fun (indoor beach party, anyone?), as well as how to commemorate bigger moments from birthdays to first days of school.

Renée Sagiv Riebling is a mom of two who never irons (Quick! Grab it out of the dryer while it's still hot instead!) or cooks anything that requires dicing, but she does love sweet sticky faces and family outings (check out her Jersey Jaunts column for ideas). She understands all too well about the minutiae of mothering, and her blog posts focus on parenting pointers--from experts or experience.
