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.

A Few Things on Etsy I Had to Have!

Filed under: Children's Activities,crafts — admin @ 6:33 pm

I haven’t been buying on Etsy or anywhere, really. I am trying to be good, but when I saw these two things, one decorative the other totally useful- I had to have them.

Halloween & Autumn in general around here is a BIG deal. We dress up, get candy
(although we never get trick or treaters- so we eat the candy) and use to have an annual Halloween costume party- which maybe we will, this year?! It kicks off my favorite time of year- FALL!

This graphic has always been one of my favorites
I found it at
The Broken House on Etsy. She has some really great folk & primitive pieces.

The next thing I needed
The colors just pop and the price was great- you can find more here at Raspberry Baby. She makes wonderful slings too. They also offer matching sling-bib-burp cloth trios- which is a great shower gift!

Have a good weekend! I’ll be happily awaiting the arrival of my packages!
