#12 Snow Angels
Snow angels are awesome if you have fresh snow and good outing gear. Let you kid fall on their back to the soft snow and move their feet and arms up and down to create the winged shape of an angel.

#10 Building Snowmen and Snowdogs
Proper winter is one of the awesome aspects of cold weather. For snow men and snow animals the weather needs to be just about 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit to be able to work the snow and pack it into shapes that last.
Snowmen are an all time favorite, but snow animals are awesome too. Dogs are fun and easy to build, they're also not too big so it doesn't take long and the end result is hugging good.
Good clothes and especially good gloves make the process more enjoyable for all.

#2 Build With Legos or Duplos
First thing you need to make sure you have enough Legos or Duplos... Nothing is more frustrating than your kid asking you to build a train, car, house, ship etc. and all you have is a couple of bricks worth of building material.
We usually start off by me asking what should we build and trying to meet the demands and orders flying for different vessels and animals...
For boys at least it's good to have a set of Duplos where you have som wheels, makes it easier to try build anything close to vehicle of any kind.
Also having those base plates are really handy, they serve as a sturdy base for more elaborate settings or higher structures that would otherwise fall easily.
It's awesome to build anything tall - a tower, a robot, a skyscraper etc. - especially robots in our family.
It's awesome to build different animals - a crocodile, an elephant, a camel - anything that your kid likes.
It's awesome to build houses and play with the Duplo characters!
It's awesome to build anything long - a snake, a ship, a train etc.
It's awesome to build a setting like where mom is or where grandpa lives!
It's good have some advice available a couple of sources we use all the time are:
1) Legos own site, you can search for things to build and get instructions and of course order some badly needed bricks.
Duplo - http://duplo.lego.com/en-us/Parents/JustForFun/Default.aspx

2) Klasbricks is a great resource for inspiration - http://klasbricks.blogspot.com/
Buy some bricks and have an awesome time building with your kid!
