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.

One night, or morning- depending on where you are, I was searching Etsy randomly and came across Adrianchristian. This sweet little shop was offering adorable crocheted berets, necklaces made from soft,jersey cotton and other lovelies like jewelry. She also was offering a BOGO sale in addition to free shipping!! Can you believe it- I hit the jackpot! I felt very lucky to also be her first sale! How exciting is that?! I was able to choose the beret colors specifically (plum & butter) and when they arrived this gorgeous necklace was included as was the nifty packaging! Please check out her shop and take advantage of her gorgeous berets! I’ve been trying not to wear mine in the 90 degree weather!

we’ve spent some time on blankets,in the baby pool, at the park with friends and basically stretching the rest of the summer.

Last week I saw a great friend on her way heading to Peru for a year.

On Laura’s reccomendation, we visited Green Chimneys to see all of the animals. We also scouted out the area of Brewster for possible homes for sale.

Then we trekked up to Lake Superior State Park to see my college roommate and her family.

great catching up- it had been nearly 8+ years!!

In shop talk- we’ve been getting ready for Autumn and our yearly Christmas in September Sale! Zach has been working his fingers to the bone- to bring you sweet and unique button bags. I’ve got some of the faceless femme coffee cuffs and a few surprises. I also need to take my sewing machine if for a service. IT has started to behave badly.


The End
Have a great week!
