Last calendar week it was HOT together with gorgeous where nosotros live! I spent a lot of fourth dimension exterior running with our double jogger (while my 5 yr former rode his cycle alongside). We didn't learn much fourth dimension for crafting or activities, but nosotros managed to sneak a few things in.
Here are a few of the ideas nosotros tried out inspired yesteryear several of the posts I shared with you lot last week...
Instead of making May Day salad spinner fine art baskets.
We tried out Teach Mama's Building words with Letter Lids activity which together with then led to loads of other alphabetic character lid activities... including a few we'll part with you lot this side yesteryear side week. We used our Melissa & Doug Alphabet together with Number stickers which nosotros love!
We did lots together with lots of Lego building inspired yesteryear Lego Quest Kids.
We did an Indoor Alphabet Hunt inspired yesteryear the Outdoor chalk alphabet hunt shared yesteryear Gratefully Growing inwards Grace. Instead of using chalk on pavement outdoors, nosotros wrote with markers on the ram board that is but about our household (mainly because the infant was sleeping together with it was hot outside). You could create this on butcher newspaper together with record it to your floor.
The kids loved hunting in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than together with in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than for the letters. The toddler matched the letters to the words together with and then my 5 yr former read the words. They were a cracking team!
Lastly nosotros did an Indoor Colors together with Shapes Game inspired yesteryear the chalk colors together with shape game shared yesteryear Tiny Sidekicks. Once in 1 lawsuit to a greater extent than the infant was sleeping together with I was enjoying the A/C thence nosotros opted to create an indoor version. :)
I drew colored shapes on large fine art newspaper together with taped it to the set down together with the kids came upwards with all sorts of ways to play games with this shape path. Their principal finish was to walk from 1 side to some other on the same shape or the same color.

We enjoyed Screen Free Week all final calendar week during the twenty-four hours together with I intend we'll live doing that for the kids from straightaway on equally much equally possible. I underestimated them. I realized that I plow on DVDs due to sheer laziness on my role sometimes together with they don't demand to live on. The kids are thence much happier together with pleasant without them too. I am also much nicer together with patient when I avoid screens when they are awake... thence I'll endeavour to create that to a greater extent than often. Sometimes it is unavoidable... since it seems most of life requires the computer, but I don't demand to live online equally much equally I am.
Last calendar week nosotros also attended a marriage together with thence I had to throw inwards a moving-picture demo of my littlest guy. He is straightaway 6 months old. The fourth dimension certain flies!
