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.

Just when you think the same shops are on the front of Etsy, you see your own shop and are totally floored! Yay! My little Esme doll made the front yesterday.

Along with that I am nearing my 300th Sale! The 300th Sale gets a free gift!

So be sure to check out the Shoppe for new pincushions, coffee cuffs and other wonders. Going through my inventory, I realized I have a bunch of items that were created and then not listed- so I’ll be listing them as well.

In the mail yesterday I received the most adorable & thoughtful gift.

QueenVanna Fame sent me the most adorable wooden picture frame, with what might be my most favorite design ever. It has these gorgeous little animals kitties, giraffes,lions, walrus,raccoons etc. with their names in glitter. Basically the cutest frame EVER! This is perfect for baby’s first photo- and will fit in perfectly with our baby nook.

Queen Vanna, has such lovely things in her shop. I was first drawn to the adorable clothespins she creates. She finds the coolest paper to work with and has picture frames, wooden-block perpetual calendars, buttons and a bunch of other things- you’ll love. So check her out!

Have a Happy Friday!
