Baby its cold outside!
The temps here have dropped drastically over the last two days. We went from a record high of 76 down to just 45 today. Nate being the super active 2 1/2 yr old he always wants to go outside. However with the cooler temps coming we are having to find ways to occupy him other than letting him go outside. Here are a few ideas for indoor play with your kiddos.
- Finger painting - make sure to do it in the kitchen for quick clean up.
- Play Dough - this has become Nate's new favorite thing (good thing I bought the new Play Dough Creativity Center)
- Bubbles - great for quick entertainment and it doesn't stain your furniture.
- Thomas the Train - we have 3 full sets and if you connect them together they offer hours of play time.
- Christmas Cookies - I bake the cookies and Nate helps to decorate them. Same with pretzel sticks.
- "Sand" Box - instead of using sand we use the cheap brand of rice crispys. You can hide things in the box and let the little ones hunt them.
- Hand made Christmas gifts - we are working on photo clocks and ornaments for Nate to give to family for Christmas.
- Movies - Cars, Popeye, Polar Express, Barney, Thomas are just a few of our current selections.
- Coloring - I bought some huge coloring books that are almost 3 feet high so it provides lots of coloring area for Nate.
