a peek inside the fishbowl

We went to the library yesterday and borrowed a stack of books. And then our youngest baked a cake:

It occurred to me that it might be fun to post a list of things that are fun to do with toddlers and kinder-aged kids over March Break. I think we often forget that kids of a certain age are easily amused, yet sometimes we find it hard to muster the energy to do something new. It doesn’t take much to keep them happy, does it? Things like:

• Going through the car wash.
• Baking cookies.
• Making play doh.
• Reading a new book together.
• Skyping with grandma and grandpa! (Maybe they can read a bedtime story together?)
• Bringing in a plastic tub full of snow from the outside and digging around in it with spoons.
• Taking a bath, fully dressed. (Our kids thought this was the most hilarious thing EVER.)
• Going to the pet store.
• “Camping” in the living room (a.k.a dragging out the sleeping bags, eating marshmallows, and telling stories)

…. are all fun things to do with wee ones. What would you add to the list?

We have a biiiig project going on this week and I think it’s kind of cool. More about that later. :)
