thank you for this awesome list! perfect for the cold season and trying to keep my girl entertained inside. i have it bookmarked so i can try the things on the list..starting with building a fort 🙂
Blanket forts were always my fav as a kid. Great ideas.
A great list to help keep kids occupied during the long winter months. I must pass this on for my grandchildren, it’ll come in handy no doubt. 🙂
Some things I haven’t done on the list. Treasure hunting was great fun when I was kid. Will do this with my grandchildren. Thanks for jogging my memory
Some days it is so hard to keep them busy!!! Thanks for the great ideas as my brain often goes blank with ideas of things to do when they come to me “I’m bored”
These are some great ideas. I have a hard time coming up with new things to do with my granddaughter.
Wow,will be saving this list
Thank you for the ideas… Always struggle to find things to do with the boys, so I will be saving this.
Great ideas especially for long cold Canadian winters.
