Winter is indeed the time when parents find themselves indoors with their children. Instead of feeling caged in, embrace this opportunity to have fun with your children. It could be a rainy day, snow day or winter vacation, but take advantage of this chance to bond with your children. 

Children always benefit from spending time with their parents, grandparents, and the adults in their lives. Sometimes you just have to allow yourself to have fun with them and it will take care of itself. However, at other times you must be more creative.  See the following resources for having fun at home as well as Columbia for Kids, which includes indoor places to go if you can still bundle up enough to get in and out of the car.
