It's Playtime at hands on : as we grow


This time of year…
Even though its been a mild winter in Iowa.
We’re still itching to get outside more and run!

We’re finding creative ways to burn off energy in the house.
And so our some of our It’s Playtime playdates!

I love the ideas that you guys have been coming up with to get active indoors.

[Crafty Moms Share: Indoor Snowball Fight!]

We have snow. But its not altogether the funnest thing to get outside in the snow… at least not a lot. I love the twist of bringing it indoors! Crafty Moms Share got the kids moving with a snowball fight, inside!

[Above, from left to right:]

  • An indoor obstacle course with anything you got in the house. Climb, crawl, slide… Learner’s In Bloom gets the kids moving!
  • Let’s play ball! Our Feminist Play School throws a curve with a small cotton ball! Puff Ball!
  • Run, jump, slide, toss with a shape activity course! Train Up a Child got educational while working on gross motor skills, too!
  • Get moving with some shaking! Shake up some art like Tot Treasures does!

    High Five to these play friends!
