When the days get shorter and the air turns crisp, it’s the perfect time to slow down, bundle up, and make new memories with your little ones. Whether you’re staying warm indoors or braving the chilly outdoors, here are a few easy, cozy ideas to keep your kids entertained through the long Canadian Winter.
Indoor Fort Building
Grab a few blankets, pillows, and maybe even a string of twinkle lights — and let your kids’ imaginations run wild! Build a reading nook or a “winter cabin” right in your living room.
💡Pro tip! Our Family blanket makes a great fort blanket.

Family Craft Time
Cold weather is the best excuse to get creative! Try simple winter crafts like paper snowflakes, pinecone ornaments, or handprint reindeer. Spread out an old tablecloth, turn on some music, and make a mess together — that’s half the fun!
Homemade Hot Chocolate Bar
Warm up after outdoor playtime with a DIY hot chocolate station. Let the kids choose their toppings — mini marshmallows, crushed candy canes, or a sprinkle of cinnamon. Put on your cozy clothes and find an age appropriate movie to snuggle up to or grab some colouring for a quiet time activity.

Baking Together
Little hands love to help in the kitchen. Pick an easy recipe like sugar cookies or banana bread, and let them pour, stir, and decorate. Don’t worry about the flour everywhere — that’s what cozy Belan.J sleepers are for (they wash up beautifully!).

When the weather cooperates, head outside for a simple walk around the block or a visit to your local park. Our Quilted Romper was designed for Canadian Winters. With a 1.0TOG rating, it keeps your little ones cozy and warm outside - layer rain gear over top to be dressed for the elements. ❄️💧
Stay Cozy, Stay Connected
Whether you’re hibernating inside or exploring outside, these little moments are what make the fall and winter months magical. With a little imagination — and some cozy Belan.J essentials — you’ll keep your kiddos warm, happy, and full of wonder all season long.
