Break the blahs.....

Spring break is upon us and it would appear that the weather is not co-operating. Here are a few ideas to help with the spring break blah's...

Create a mini "Tag" book.
6 Large tags will be the "pages" . Use photo's, stickers, embellishments to create a mini album. Page title ideas

Fears... I am sure you can come up with a list a mile long as well. Add more "pages" as needed. Tie with a ribbon or use a split ring to "bind" the album

Hand the digi camera to the kids and have them take 10 photos of their "favorite things" print out photos and create a 2 page spread from their perspective.

Set up a "photo Studio" at home and dress up and play! Take lots of photos. Have fun

Go for a walk in the rain - take photos.

Pull out a puzzle and work on that together, take progress photos every hour or so.

Good old traditional board games are often overlooked in favor of computer or video games. Sit down around the table and play a board game. Tell stories about games you used to play when you were there age.

Simply pull out the scrapbooking supplies and a few photo's and ask the kids to create a page that reflects them at this age. (No guidelines or parameters - let their creative juices flow) Let them have fun!

Bake cookies (cake, muffins....)

Pull taffy

Make fudge

Hmm, wonder what my girls want to do after they clean their room's (will be taking before and after photos of this earth shattering event.....)

have a great spring break. Think out side the box, have fun. Enjoy! Let me know what you are doing to keep them busy on these lovely inside days......
