From Dawn until Dusk of December 16th, Winterfest celebrates Children's Winterfest!

Moms and Dads of RhyDin are encouraged to bring out the kids for a fun, safe day of activities just for the little ones! Booths that cater to more grown up tastes are closed for the day until much later in the evening and the ] seems asleep during the day anyway, as the revelers from the night before sleep off the nights fun.

THE ACTIVITIES:

TOSS THE HAT ON THE SNOWMEN A small patch of the snow has been transformed into a field of cute carrot nosed men. Alas :( these poor Snowmen are without a very important part of their ensemble. Their hats!

Toss the top hat and see if you can be-cap a dashing snowmen! (Prize supplies are plentiful for all games of Toss the Hat on the Snowmen!)

1st Row of snowmen prize: Your very own Icer replica! With mind boggling exact details, but tiny and squishie-soft! When you squeeze her, she bugles gently. Comes with 10 tiny dragonettes attached! 2nd Row of Snowmen prize: A handmade set of 76 wooden building blocks to engage and delight young minds. 3rd Row of Snowmen Prize: A RhyDix cube! This cube's blocks are covered in many of RhyDins famous races. The trick to it is moving the cubes pieces featuring dragons, elves, dark elves, angels, vampires and werewolves are no longer scatted and each race forms a side.

SNOW SCULPTING & PAINTING Join in Mary Waters of the Artisan guild during the afternoon for fun filled hours of snow sculpting! The whole family is encouraged to craft sculptures out of snow, using water to ice the outside of the snow to keep it shapes and food coloring in various shades to paint them!

SLED RACES http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/Pinkisnotevil/Winterfest2011/sledracing.jpg The Glens finest (gentle for the little ones) hills have been cleared of any obstructions and transformed into the ultimate sled racing track! 20 sleds at a time can glide on down the tracks"marked by mesh netting and inflatable bumpers at the bottom to keep little sledders from tumbling too far!

CAPTURE A SNOW FORTRESS Snow fortresses reminiscent of grand castles and grand palaces have been built in this blue corded-off area. Each one has its own unique colored flag at the very top. Children can choose which fortress they represent and tie on patches of color that match their fortress flag color. Children are then encouraged to protect their snow fortresses from other invading fortresses that seek to destroy and pull down their walls. The teams with their Snow fortresses still intact, win!

TUG O" SNOW Let the little ones test their strength and mettle in the snow with a fantastic game of tug-o-snow! Finely woven hemp ropes over slippery, slidey, snuggly snow to catch teams of pulling kiddies. The object of the game is to pull the other team over the sprayed-into-snow-blue-line.

SNOW MEN BUILDING COMPETITION Parents and children alike are encouraged to show off their artistic sides in the Snow men building competition! Each participant wins their own Winterfest ribbons marking them the Snowmen artists elite!

WINTERFEST TREASURE HUNT All over the bright, frequented places in the Glen is buried treasures in the snow! Waterproof containers in red, green, silver or blue are stuffed full of trinkets and treats for the little ones to find. Each child and family will receive a beautiful hand drawn map or a series of photographs with visual clues and riddles leading them toward the buried treasure! Come prepared to dig in the snow!

Treasures that can be found buried include: http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/Pinkisnotevil/Winterfest2011/Triqo.jpg Pieces of Trigo - All the way from the Netherlands, this construction toy has a unique design compared to the other snap-and-build toys on the market. With bendable edges, simple snaps and indestructible (and fully recyclable) materials, you can build almost anything with the Triqo squares and triangles " balls, mini houses, flowers, towers, hats"anything. It's a smart, imagination-provoking toy unlike anything we've ever seen.

http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/Pinkisnotevil/Winterfest2011/Perplexus-Epic.jpg Perplexus Epic - This maze ball is probably more challenging than the most challenging video game your kids play. With the classic Perplexus, you physically roll a small marble through various obstacles inside of a transparent sphere, but the newest Epic model skyrockets the typical challenge to mind-bending levels.

http://i1112.photobucket.com/albums/k497/Pinkisnotevil/Winterfest2011/31GyuJ33tnL_SL500_AA300_.jpg Deconstruction blocks - Goodwood deconstruction blocks are a new system of innovative wooden blocks, designed to invite real creative play. The beautiful blocks are intentionally packaged without instructions or other prescriptive guidelines, in order to cultivate open-ended exploration. All sets come with pieces in six vibrant colors (water-based acrylic paint), made from forest-friendly rubber wood, and CPSIA tested.

Indulge your child's appetite for exploration by merging blocks together to form new colors and sounds, or stack the blocks in a different order each time to form new and exciting shapes.
