Bad weather, Good fun

We have been having some crazy weather lately so in order to maintain sanity we have had to come up with some things to do.

What you need: an old box (I used a diaper box), three cups or plastic containers of different sizes, marker, scissors, tape, and a ball. use the marker to trace a circles onto the box around the bottom of the containers (remember to cut the holw slightly bigger if the container or cup is smaller on the bottom, and be careful!) now just put the containers in the holes. Take the little circles and write 1 2 and 3 on them. One on the cup/container with the largest opening and three on the smallest. now just let your kid try to throw the ball into the containers. I had my daughter try to get a certain number of points per game so that we were practicing math at the same time! She loved it!

We have been trick or treating in the house with some toys instead of candy. The girls actually put on their costumes and have their bags its really cute!

Played "Princess And The Witch" We take turns being the bad witch and casting spells on the princess!

We have played store, which I like because it teaches her about money. We take turns being the store owner and the customer. We just use their little table and set up various toys and use some fake money for the purchases. I always give too much so that we have to figure up change!

We put up some plastic cups and went bowling!

And lastly we have been doing a lot of art and a lot of letter writing! This is her most recent letter which is so cute!!
