I would love to have this book to help us with fun ideas to play at home.
Lots of playing outside, painting, pretend play, etc.
Always looking for new ideas of things to do so this would be great.
We have 7 children of varying ages, so what I do is different with each child. My youngest is about to turn 3. She loves to make crafts, read and go to the park to go down the “WEEE” (slide). My older daughters (ages 20 & 18) are artsy (like me) so we enjoy going to museums, plays, performances, etc. My 15 year old son loves to play chess, video games and do outdoorsy things. My step daughters (ages 12 & 14) like crafts and going put putting. My step son is 21 and not around much, but when he is we play video games.
For fun, we do arts and crafts, park days, local places like arcade rooms and Chuck E Cheese. Looking for more ways to stay active! Thanks!
We do lots of “projects” (art/crafts/science) The messier the better!
Playdoh and Legos….okay, and puzzles.
I just visited Anna’s website for the first time. It was hard to get off! Thanks for letting me know about her – hilarious! I loved her post about why you should have four kids. (I have four kids.)
The kids and I LOVE to play racing games on the Wii. It’s not “traditional”, but it always ends in lots of laughs, high fives, and hugs.
My kids love being outdoors – in the snow or sunshine! We also do lots of coloring, painting and puzzles. My boys have awesome imaginations – so you never know what will be next during any given activity. Thanks!
Lots of little activities and board games
When the weather is nice we walk to the park and swing on the swings! My son loves this!
We love to take walks and go to the park!
Family time is so important but ideas can run out quickly this book looks really great for reinventing family time
We play monster attack on our double bed with pillows and hiding under covers…
As much as we possibly can. We paint, garden, do arts and crafts, have popcorn and movie nights, build forts, etc. I am constantly looking on Pinterest and other websites or blogs that I subscribe to for new ideas to have fun with my kids. I like to not only engage their interests, but their minds as well, as much as possible. I would love to see what ideas are in the book.
Take a ball of string and tie up a room like a spider web and try to get through.
We try to do fun nights…1 night we done a camp night by making smores in the house(machine I had bought while teaching Head Start uses a light bulb), with lights off, and his turtle that lights up with stars and moon on it, with blankets on floor.
Either play legos or help with play dough
I have twins with autism. Fun is a constant activity at my house. The more fun we have in EVERYTHING we do, the more engaged and interested they are. Yes, it is exhausting, but they are definitely worth it.
