I was thinking of getting some spray bottles so the kids can paint snow with water color.....I have a sled and a few shovels and pails and that's it! I need some ideas about what to add for outdoor play

I got some sand toys that I heard are fun for snow too. My back yard has a really sloped area so I got some sleds as well.

We use all the little tykes climbers and slides all winter. Plus buckets and shovels, sleds, hula hoops and the wierdest and most favorite toy is a crazy carpet with a hula hoop attached. They pull each other around the yard for hours. My oldest dd invented them.

We keep most of our stuff out all year too. The favorite ones though are my Tonka trucks. The kids use them just as much, if not more, in the winter than in the summer months.

I have a toy kitchen outside that is a favorite during all sorts of weather. It gets a bit buried under the snow but the kids always dig it back out. I also pile the snow behind the slide so they can climb the snow hill, sit, and scoot onto the slide in all their gear without direct help all the time.

I don't have any pics but we just duct taped a child sized hula hoop to the two crazy carpet handles.
