| There’s nothing little
ones love more than creative play. Not only do children’s games occupy tiny
hands on rainy days, they also occupy little minds helping them grow big and tall
in both imagination and creativity. If you are looking for a few easy and inexpensive
ways to add some fun to your day, here are a few of our favorite do-it-yourself
children’s games especially for your tiny tot. The
Great Dino Hunt and Dig Say goodbye to those grocery bags filled with
last year’s plastic Easter eggs and put those dust bunny collectors to good
use. Fill plastic eggs with mini plastic dinosaurs, which can be easily found
at dollar stores or the party aisle of your local supercenter. Hide eggs outdoors
for springtime fun or indoors for the perfect solution to the rainy day blues.
Get creative and hide eggs in the sandbox for a real paleontologist dig.
* Money Saving Tip: Add to the fun of your dino
themed day with a few of our educational
coloring pages and Barney the Dinosaur. Mom’s
Favorite Tidy up Game Can’t seem to get your messy Monet to clean
up his crayons? Here is a fun way to get him moving. Call out a color and then
start the kitchen timer for one minute. Your child will then have one minute to
race to put away all the toys of that color into his toy box. Continue to call
out colors and reset the timer until the last toy is placed into the bin. Reward
your child for “beating the clock” with a prize or an ice-cream cone.
* Quick Change Tip: Keep him interested
in tidying up with this quick spin on the Tidy up Game. Place separate bins in
his room for a quick toss/sorting colors game. Cleaning and learning never seemed
so fun! (This variation works best with smaller and softer toys that won’t
damage walls if he happens to miss the bin.) For
