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.

Lazerstar in Camarillo

Check out the only laser tag facility that I’m aware of near the Conejo Valley.  The laser tag arena is 4,500 square feet.  For ages 6 and up.  No reservations or required to play but for groups of 8 or more they are recommended.  LazerStar is open every day of the year except Easter, Christmas and Thanksgiving.  This is a popular birthday joint; check out the website for detailed information.  There is also an arcade and food available.

On a personal note, we have been to several children’ birthday parties at LazerStar, including a party with 5 and 6 year olds.  Laser tag, which I also participated in, was a LOT of fun!  The equipment was a bit on the heavy side for some of the little guys but everyone enjoyed it. 

LazerStar is at 1775 Daily Drive, Camarillo.  Visit www.lazerstar.org or call 805.388.0074 for more info.
