Playtime Overhaul

Playtime Overhaul

Posted On August 17, 2011

I have a horrible case of boring Mummy syndrome.  Sypmtoms include;  asking your child if they want to do a puzzle whenever they say they are bored, craft ability is suddenly limited to drawing, and helping to hang up the clothes is a game isn’t it?

So this week I have trawled the web looking for some new play ideas for Master O (4) and Miss A (1).

I-Spy Rice ~ Living on a Latte

This is a great idea for all ages!  Just place some rice in a bottle with some little things for your little one to discover!  This would keep Master O very entertained and of course Little Miss A had to sneak a peek to see what he was so excited about.  In the end she used it as a shaker!

When the washing machine steals your socks ~ Mummy to Five

Now you have to be clever to see that big pile of socks as a fun game for kids….but it is!

Simply line the kids up and let them take turns to throw the socks into the bucket!

See the gorgeous photos on the link above!  

Chatterboxes ~ Puddles and Gumboots

Boy do these bring back memories!  Master O wanted to help me make these and was quite fascinated by the folding of the paper but even more fun was making his little sister do whatever it said inside!  Including lay an egg like a chicken!

What are your favourite games this week?
