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.

pictures get me through- books as well. when I have something I need to work on or work through- having a great quote and an inspirational photo can get me through to the other side. here are a few of my favorites from the last few days- which will no doubt get me through today and an even longer Friday. Enjoy!


my niece Jenny, helping me try Hazel’s pumpkin Halloween costume on her. It was too small, H couldn’t move her legs and was rolling all around. laughter ensues.


baby toes in the sand- enough said.


Misquamicut Beach, almost sun down.


favorite pair of sunglasses,my new favorite and inspiring read and the NY Times Style Magazine.

last night I cut and pinned 1/2 a dozen or more coffee cuffs. it felt good to be back in the saddle. so much more to do. in quick news on my tummy troubles (said in a whisper) i may have had a breakthrough. fingers crossed xo
