My Nephew who is 20 months old and his other friend from playgroup came round and I said I'd help them build them a snow man.

So after the initial snowball was the size of a tennis ball, both the toddlers left me too it, and as the snowball got bigger my back began to hurt. The minute I stopped, both toddlers said "More snow", and so I rolled the giant snowball around until my back was hurting and then stopped........then the cry "more snow" came from both the toddlers.

I also didn't have gloves on and so my hands were agonisingly cold, I said "shall we go in, its warmer" and the toddlers said "more snow" and so the snowman had to be developed firther.

After every bit of snow in the garden had been used, the 2 sadaistic toddlers allowed me to go inside. So how do you tell a toddler that your hands are too cold and that your back is hurting?

HELP !!! more snow is forecast next week

My gran used to say

"I can't do it, I've got a bone in my hand!"

which wasn't quite lying, but there wasn't really an answer for that one as a toddler! :hihi:

I still use it around kiddies to this day.

Dig a hole - stick the kids in it - pack the hole up with snow - leaving their heads out so they can at least breathe. Leave them there for an hour. Dig them out. Ask them if they are cold.

Wear a pair of gloves when out in the snow?

There is no explaining that to a toddler, you have to lure them in with the promise of hot chocolate with marshmallows and whippy cream served with cookies!! works everytime
