Activities With Children

Arts, Crafts, and Fun Things to Do and Make with your children

Toss any magazine older Work them out. The problem with bad weather is that children don’t get enough exercise. Play “freeze dance” stopping in position when the music goes off. Pile up pillows and encourage the kids to gallop over them on hobbyhorses. Get out the tutus and do a dance show. The storm has hit and you are stuck indoors with small lightening fast children. Kids are bouncing off the walls. You’re just about to go bananas. You take a look, but the pieces to Candyland are missing. Maybe a boardgame can save you?
 
Grab some couch cushions or an large box and drape a sheet over them. Put toys and kitchenware for the kids to play with underneath. They can make a walkway to the structure with blocks. Set it up and hand out the invitations to all of the stuffed friends. It could be your dog or cats birthday, or your child’s favorite stuffed animals birthday. Decorate white paper plates for party invitations by coloring them and personalizing them. Bake up some cookies or have a popcornfest. Stretch out the preparation. Throw a ten minute party. Fill plastic bottles with whatever is on the shelf to make potions. Toothpaste, ketchup, food coloring - the yuckier the better. Add baking soda and vinegar and watch your concoction fizz. Clean out the magazine rack and have your kids clip pictures and paste them on paper. Suggest a theme, such as animals. Toss any magazine older than your toddler. Work them out.

300 Sales

Yay! We reached our 300th sale this past weekend! So exciting! It has been a long road of handmade goodness.I’m so thankful to all of our beloved customers~

I’ve been trying to figure out what steps to take for the next few weeks/months for our shop. I hate to get rid of custom orders, but alas I need to. They take a lot of time and effort and I am just not sure what the next year will bring (aside from giggles, cuddling and some dirty diapers). So I think the only option is to freeze our custom orders for now.

The Vagabond Scarves will be in the shop by Friday, October 31st. I urge you to take a gander!Different sizes & colors.

Tonight we’ll carve our pumpkins. One from the market- the other from my husband’s step-father’s garden. At some point today I will be picking up Halloween candy.(what to get- what to get- maybe sending a preggo isn’t the best idea!?) This will be the first year we’ll actually have some Trick or Treaters! I’m so excited! We also have our costumes to work on for the Halloween party on Saturday. Plus, I need to finish up the birthday girl’s gifts and get started on a few coffee cuffs as Thank-You gifts. A lot to do. I’m already feeling out of breath! I’ve opened most of the windows to entertain the kitties and let the fresh air in. Last night I was very sick, so I’m trying to get a lot done but in a mosey sort of way. No actual time constraints!! For an easy-on-the-tummy dinner I’m making soup.
What are your plans?
