Winter Sun Fun

Stay inside on this sunny day? No way!

If you've got sun:

  • Make a Backyard Weather Station
    Your kids will learn the basics of scientific observation and record-keeping. Give Willard Scott a run for his money.

  • Work in the Garden
    Learn how gardening can be a year-round family fun activity!

    If you need a little sun, watch:

  • Lawrence of Arabia (PG)
    When you pop this movie into the VCR, be sure to have plenty of ice water and sunblock on hand. This gorgeous 5-star story of British adventurer T.E. Lawrence sends you on a three-hour tour across burning Arabian sands beneath the blinding sun. Jack Frost won't stand a chance.

  • African Queen (No rating)
    When Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn start down a tropical river in their rickety boat, you know you're in for an adventure. Go along for a sweaty ride as they conquer the elements, the enemy and their own fears.

  • Jungle Book (several versions available, from G up)
    From animated to live action, pick your favorite telling of this Rudyard Kipling tale of Mowgli, the boy raised by wolves in the jungle.
