Building an igloo is a fun and exciting winter activity for kids. It allows them to use their creativity and problem-solving skills while having fun outside in the snow. While the traditional method of building an igloo is to stack blocks of snow, there are other ways for kids to make an igloo in their yard. Here are 5 different ideas for building an igloo using different materials and techniques.

Snow Brick Igloo – Children can make an igloo using snow bricks. These can be made by packing snow into plastic container or by using a snow mold. Once the bricks are ready, kids can stack them up to create an igloo shape.

Cardboard Box Igloo – Kids can make an igloo using cardboard boxes. Cut the boxes into the shape of bricks and stack them up to create an igloo shape. Cover the boxes with snow to give it a traditional igloo look.

Ice Block Igloo – Children can make an igloo using blocks of ice. To do this, fill plastic containers with water and freeze them. Once the blocks are frozen, kids can stack them to make an igloo shape.

Snow Fort Igloo – Children can make an igloo using a snow fort as the base. They can stack blocks of snow on top of the fort to create an igloo shape.

Shaving Cream Igloo – Children can make an igloo using shaving cream. Spread shaving cream on a flat surface and shape it into an igloo using your hands or tools. Once it is shaped, you can freeze it or let it dry to create an igloo shape.

Each of these alternatives is fun and creative way to make an igloo, however, do keep in mind that weather conditions and area may vary, so make sure to be safe, and supervise children while making these projects.
