My Favorite Indoor Activities
What are you favorite indoor activities?
I am naturally a homebody and am trying to avoid crowded indoor places so here are some of my favorites:
1. Cooking at home- baking cookies- itβs all about giving them tools to manipulate the dough, washing veggies and giving them tools to wash the veggies (salad spinner, potato scrubber etc).
2. Make nice cream together! Pretend your child is the mad scientist in the kitchen and have them help figure out what to add to concoction..do we add spirulina to make it blue or beet juice to make it red. What happens if we add spinach to it, do you think you'll taste it? Teaching your kids science in the kitchen.
3. Create an obstacle course- pillows, chairs, tables, etc
4. Relay race between kids- they love being able to carry the magic wand. Get yourself involved in the relay race & take turns if you have an only child.
5. Build a fort- love being able to use @sarahssilks stand for this or you can use laundry racks or brooms and sheets.
6. Laundry basket race car- put your kid in a basket with pillows and a helmet and push the cart around. Plus you can decorate the basket with stickers. And bonus- great exercise for you π @fitmomma4three this is my #dailydoseofmovement .
7. Making a long train with chairs & decorating the train with silk scarves and rope.
**Half the fun of these activities above can be the SET UP! Asking your kids what should go in the fort or the relay race etc.

Bathtub activities:
1. Setting up a water table but in the bathtub. Kids love cups of varying size with water, funnels, syringes, and tubes are great additions.
2. Sensory bins in the bathtub. Set up the bathtub water beads filled with figures. Plant based yogurt with veggie and fruit dyes (spirulina, Beet powder, dried mangos and crush them etc) and put in painters tray and play in bathtub.
