Ooooh, cold ideas... I need some of those around here too!! Especially for days like today when we're honestly stuck in the house because of the roads.

A couple of times last year we brought snow into the house to play with because it was too cold outside. (http://morrisonsinmichigan.blogspot.com/2007/02/snow-day.html)
The kids loved that.

Also, I just try to bring out the toys we don't normally play with... the kids' play tent, instruments, train tracks, etc.
Have you done peanut butter playdough with the girls?? Here's my recipe:
