amo_mea_filiis. Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm weird, I know it. This weekend, the kids and I are going to make a poster to hang on the door to the electronics room. I was thinking of a collage of pictures of other things we could be doing. So what would you be doing if you had no access to anything electronic? My first pick is reading. Dd's would drawing. Ds's is legos. 3 things will not make a fun poster! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LibraryLover Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Make pretzles or bread, muffins etc Have a mini bonfire and roast hot dogs (tofu pups?) Go for a walk and collect 'treasure'. Put in a large or small glass jars. This is actually pretty on a mantel or shelf. Stones of various sizes, sticks, leaves, any mosses sticking out of the snow (if you have snow). Learn to finger knit Get out the glitter and glue and make B'day or other cards for future needs Play a board game or something like Boggle Hang Man on the WHite Board (if you have one) Play Uno, Go Fish, War Memorize silly poems of kid limericks. Make up your own Listen to audio books snuggled up by flash or candle light Sew something. A book bag is easy, even if the stiches are not great. Maybe you know someone with a sewing machine who could reinforce them later. They could cut out star shapes and glue them on (and then have them reinforced) if they get tired of sewing. Do you have a Y with free swim near you? You don't have to be a member, although there is a fee. Go ice skating inside if none outside. Our rink has open hours all morning for anyone (after hockey practice and before skate lessons). $5 if you have your own skates. $9 if you need to rent If you have a large roll of butcher block paper, you can trace your bodies and make large posters of yourselves. Cut them out and hang on the bedroom doors Cut out pictures and words from magazines and make a family collage with love words, places you might like to visit, polaces you have visited etc. Make playdough or corn startch dough Paint with water colors Make paper mache planets with balloons Do you have anywhere in your house you might put in a chin up bar or cloth Ikea-type swing? Garage? Edited March 1, 2012 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
