What kind of things do your kids like to do? Music, sports, other?
Crafts, crafts, and more crafts…(Plus tons of fighting!!!)
Baking,puzzles and some board games.
complain!
Books, books, and more books!
Listen to music and dance along.
Play “horse and wagon”- My oldest (10) initiated and runs this activity: cardboard box is the wagon, pile in some blankets and a pillow, tie jumprope around box and around “horses'” waists, and “drive” a light-weight sibling around the house.
(Sometimes the “passenger” falls asleep on the journey.)
Big kids spread old, large blanket on floor and shlep little kids around on it.
Make puppet shows! I once bought a puppet theater with puppets; very good $30 investment.
Turn the shower stall into anything- library, airplane, or just a little, fun place
(on condition that all props be returned to places of origin).
Hide and seek. Tag.
Anything, but housework!
Read. My kids are all voracious readers.
Play games. I’m talking about deep strategy German-style board games like Settlers of Catan, Caylus, Power Grid, etc.
Photography. My daughter seems to have picked up my shutterbug habit.
The Wolf
Everyone loved Tinkertoys. I hear they still make them in real wood.
