Fun for 1 or fun for all

I do not have any kiddos but I ran the before and after school care at the YMCA Fun Co. for a year and happen to think I am an expert at kids playtime! Today on Kelly's Korner she is asking for ways to keep kids entertained during the day. Here are some that I have done in the past....



    1. Everything under the kitchen sink art -  Everyone has a basket of scrap buttons, paper, pipe cleaners, newspapers, magazines, and other things that for some strange reason we hold onto thinking that we will at some point find a reason to use it right? Well, let your kids make a master piece with what they see. Every one sees things differently and what you see might be totally different so have fun and get creative!

    2. Write a story together. Go to different parts of the house and or outside and look around getting a feel for what you see and go with it to make the story better and more creative!
