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.

Sunday Night Tomato Sauce

Sunday Night Tomato Sauce, originally uploaded by hobocampcrafts.

Yesterday’s plan was to do some laundry& screenprint Snuggle Bunny all while visiting my parent’s house. We visited ( I even ate some dark chocolate w/ a pretzel stick), we did our laundry ( a ton of little girl’s hand me down adorableness)- we even screenprinted 3 shirts, till our screen kinda went kaput! So we’re working on getting another S.B. along with a different design.

A stop to the market and we were back home. I made some delicious tomato sauce for dinner. It is a great thrill using your own herbs, I can only imagine if they were my tomatoes as well. I was able to freeze 3 containers for later use- which is what it is really all about, right?

Stomach issues still happening- wondering could it be soy? I have no idea!

This week there will be new coffee cuffs & onesies in the shop- I’m trying to crank up the creativity. I also have 2 dresses to photograph, and a few other kids & ladies pieces. We haven’t done any shows this whole season, so we have one planned in September at some point and I’d love to have enough product. Plus as I get bigger & bigger, who knows how much sewing my stomach will tolerate! I need to stock up!
Keeping with my constant theme of ” always the last to know”, I’ve decided to share with you my new cute music fave.
Her name is Andrea Simms-Karp,
Meet her here! From what I gather, she plays banjo & guitar and possibly more. She has a really upbeat, folky tone – kinda reminds me of The Be Good Tanyas, who I also adore. I only just downloaded 3 songs to check her out, but really like them already.

Zach also found on iTunes, the Target commercial song, where the two girls are dance/battling while decorating their sides of the dorm. I’m ridiculously all over the place with music and a sucker for fun commercial music. Just WAIT till the holiday commercials start!

Well have a great Monday!
