We recently did “toe painting” (there’s pictures on my blog) and it was a blast – fingerpaints, on the driveway. Cleaned up with a hose. I think that it would be even more fun if we’d had some of that long paper, but I didn’t have any. It’s on the wishlist though.

(PS – if you have a minute, could you stop by my blog & leave a note about your favorite phonics book? I’d appreciate it soooo much!)

Mandi, arts and crafts are a must here too, I just had to stop somewhere. Bubbles are so fun as well.

And Renae, sometimes the stuff I want to go IS the little blocks. They seem to multiply! lol

Blocks are my still my son’s favorite. Legos are always a good investment.

Some of the rest of the stuff that ends up cluttering my children’s room can definitely go.

I also have old blankets specifically for fort building – and an old card table can be picked up second hand – in the summer you can even let them take their fortress building materials outside and they can even sleep in their own homemade shelter! Tons of fun ideas! ( :
Thanks for the ideas!
Warmly,
Mandi
