Snow Fortress

Children of any age enjoy building snow forts, but this activity is most suitable for school-aged boys. More than once we had to watch how incredibly happy boys spent the whole day building their formidable fortresses. Your task is to ensure that the construction of the fortress begins in a quiet place where it will have a chance to survive for several days, and not somewhere on the road or near the porch of a house. Offer your snow architects a location with less direct sunlight, otherwise the citadel will be in danger of melting too quickly.

When building a fort, some children like to use a bucket to fill it with snow; others, to build a wall, make large snow globes and, pressing them, place them one on top of the other; others simply jump into the middle of a snowdrift, making passages in it, and hide there.

The only role you can play here is, perhaps, to provide the children with plenty of hot tea, toasted bread, and in addition, constantly replenish the supply of dry mittens.
