It’s cold outside. I don’t want to go out and spend money on trampoline parks every day. My kids are bored and tv cant always be my default

What is everyone doing during these cold months to keep the kids entertained/ busy with $0 or on a low budget. We have gone to the library frequently and the mall just to kill time. If i step foot in the mall again I’ll lose my mind.
