Parts of the country are continuing to get lots and lots of snow. Why not embrace it and sit down with a quilt, some hot chocolate, and a stack of wintry reads. We found a few great winter book lists to get you started...
Favorite Wintry Reads
Energy Saving Rocking Horse
The Greener Gadgets design competition has had some great entries this year. One of which is this rocking horse which harvests the kinetic energy from rocking and puts it to use in the form of light. Details after the jump!
Play Area
Oh Happy Day
We love to take peeks inside peoples' homes, especially the various ways they've incorporated children into the home.
HandySitt Seating System
Fans of the HandySitt portable seat will be happy to know that Minui, the company behind Handysitt, has just released the HandySitt chair. It can be used as a base for the portable seat, allowing the seat to serve as a highchair for children as young as six months, but it also serves as a standalone piece of furniture that does double duty as a stepstool and as a seat for older kids.
Warm Fuzzies
Ohdeedoh reader, Marisa, sent us an e-mail sharing a great little project she created at home for her family. The idea was so sweet, it gave us the warm fuzzies.

It seems everyday we wake up, check the wintry weather forecast and sigh...what to do, where to go? While we try to make at least one outdoor venture with our son each day, our outings are shorter and less active than the rest of the year. We've been brainstorming about ways to bring some of the outdoor fun inside and help our son burn off some energy.
Geometric Chalkboard Inspiration
The idea of painting up a patch of wall with chalkboard paint isn't a new one by any means, but this brightly colored geometric twist on new things makes us excited about the idea all over again.

Things To Make and Do for Arts & Crafts Time
We loved all your ideas for things to do with a young toddler the other day but perhaps you have an older child to entertain on these cold winter days.

Use A Sponge Holder In The Bathroom To Help Out
