Bored? Try These Non-Toy Activities at Home!
My sister Chrissy had another blog post suggestion! She noticed that we do a lot of non-toy activities in our home - trying to reinforce creativity and using their imagination. I must say, going from age 2/early 3 to now 4, it is amazing to see how much their imaginations have grown. The biggest change is that Conor and Caden went from the "parallel play" to really playing together and coming up with some creative things - remember the "baby tomato" photography blog post?? Hahaha.... So with it being winter, I thought it would be nice to share some of our non-toy ideas. First, and probably my favorite: Pipe-cleaners, or one-sided Q-tips in a strainer! Who can forget shaving cream fun?! For Caden's 100th day school project, we glued together 100 popsicle sticks! I thought it was going to be WAY bigger! Haha I often let them play with water - and I add food coloring and let them mix it around. The toss in some toys and boats sometime...
