So Winter Storm Juno turned out to be a bit of a let down – nowhere near the state of emergency forecasters initially predicted – but kids in New York are still having their first snow day of the 2014-2015 school year.

That means most parents are wondering how on earth they’ll entertain those stir-crazy kids for a full 24 hours. Zoning out in front of the TV all day is just not an option when you are 7 and running on sugar. And they’re “sooo boooored.”

We’ve rounded up a handy list of exciting outdoor, indoor, and educational snow day activities – think real snow cones and stove-top s’mores – that are bound to keep the little people in your lives busy all day (and may even be fun for grownups, too!).

And now that Prospect Park is back open, be sure to check out our map of the best sledding spots!

Tip: The snow is coming down pretty dry and powdery, which means it is not ideal for snowball fighting or snowman building. The Art of Manliness suggests spraying those flakes down with a garden hose or spray bottle to get the ideal snow-packing texture.
