Go on a treasure hunt, Make set of clues ,each clue leading to the next one and, finally, to the treasure. Seal them in envelopes marked with a clue number (i.e., 2/7, or “two of seven”); this will help the treasure hunters keep track. Whoever solves the clues first and finds the treasure -a small toy, an IOU for a movie, maybe a cache of coins (regular or chocolate) is the winner.
Make a bubble bath, kids always like to play in the bath. Add some bubbles and toys and let them play.
Go camping indoors, if you have a small pop up tent set it up and let them play. If you don't have one make one with a blanket draped over something. They will love it.
Bake some cookies, who doesn't love cookies??
Marshmallow Popping Contest
What You Need
- scissors
- utility knife
- markers
- ruler
- rubber bands
- glue
- tape (transparent, duct, masking, or colored)
- gift wrap or decorative paper
- kraft paper
- balloon, uninflated (1 per popper)
- paper cup, bottom cut off (1 per popper)
- mini marshmallows
What to Do
- Knot the end of the balloon, then snip off ½ inch from the top.
- Stretch the balloon over the cutoff end of the cup so that the knot is in the center. (You’ll need to hold the balloon in place when you “pop,” or secure it with a rubber band for little hands.)
- Place a mini marshmallow into the cup so it fits snugly in the knotted center of the balloon. While aiming the cup away from you (and others), pull the knot back, release, and send the marshmallow soaring. See who can pop marshmallows the farthest or get the most into a bowl that’s a few feet away
Have a picnic indoors, throw a blanket down and have some finger foods together.
