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.

Here’s a quick excerpt
When I was a child I loved to do color-by numbers.  It would be a special treat when someone would pick-up one of those huge activity books for me.  I would hunt through the entire activity book looking for Color-By-Number Activities.  I enjoyed coloring, but I loved the challenge of matching the small numbers on the coloring page with colored crayons that I had in my huge crayon bin.  Fun!! Fun!! Color-By-Number Activities are a lot of fun, but they are also a great Educational Activity.  Not only do Color-By-Numbers teach a child their numbers, but it also teaches your child about colors.  Fun & Educational!!  It doesn’t get much better than that.
