Computerless Angry Birds...

Use any recycling items you may have around the house; help your children build any structure and knock it down!

Of course, you don't need "official" angry bird toys to do this.

Depending on the ages of your child(ren), they may be able to build and re-build the structure themselves. You can also add a scoring/star system, line to stand behind, etc... or keep it as simple as your kids will allow while still feeling things are fair.

This activity kept my kids (2.5yrs and 4.5yrs) busy for hours, literally.

Bonus! Builds hand-eye-coordination, balance, cooperation skills, motor skills, and more!

Have fun!

back to blogging?

Pinterest has renewed my passion for blogging. I love networking, creating, communicating, and being resourceful. Facebook replaced my blogging for a couple of years, but Facebook restricts ... well it limits... well, it's just a different platform/medium and it's good for different things.

I've been into baking, but with 4 kids under 5yrs, that hobby presents a few problems, not the least of which being the inability to stop in the middle of any given "project," drop everything, and attend to a crying baby/toddler/preschooler. Not the second least of which being the inability to get out of the house to work off the inevitable pounds that are gained through "quality control."

So I bought a sewing machine.

Thank you Pinterest, for renewing my passion for blogging, providing an amazing centre of resource management, and giving me a potential new audience for blogging about my new hobby! Who knows, maybe next I'll have an etsy store?!
