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.

Little Bits of Wednesday

:::They sit like this, in a row on the arm of the couch:::

I’ve noticed something about myself.. I can not keep a table clear & straight if my life depended on it. I am finding it to be a quite annoying little factoid. Kitchen table::: covered bills, recipes, crock pot- other randomness. Craft table:: fabric, receipts, scissors,pins,business cards,paper,articles,randomness. Coffee table::: remotes, coasters,glass or glasses,camera,bills,computer etc. I have a million baskets and other organizing devices- yet I still have this problem. I think Zach has this problem now too.

Today I’d like to get laundry done.I also need to go get fitted for my dress for my cousin’s wedding next, Saturday. Last night I had a dream I went into labor. I guess it is getting close now. I read somewhere that 60% of all births are early.

In other news, I don’t know if you’ve heard about Carter’s Clothing Tag Allergies. It seems some of their tag less labels have been causing allergic reactions. Some of their older clothing has it. I know some of my hand-me downs have these and a few other gifts I’ve received. I am going to cover the tags with a small muslin patch. So I’ve started going through all of the clothes I have and separating them. All of the recalls scare me. As if the idea of being a first-time parent isn’t scary enough!

I hope you have a peaceful day full of non recalls!
