Shopping Made Fun!

It can be very hard to go grocery shopping with your little ones. Here is an idea that I thought was brilliant! Help your child make a shopping list! I get in the mail, about 4 different Grocery store ads every week. Just save these, and on Shopping Day, help your little one cut out items that you need, and will be purchasing, and glue or tape to a piece of paper. When you get to the store, make sure your little on has a crayon to mark off their items. And help them search for the items. Give them the opportunity to pick it up off the shelf and put it in the cart!

Plus when your little one asks for some cookies, you can say, "Is it on your list? We only get what we need and have on our lists!" This may reduce the begging for more treats!

Play with Static!!!

An age old fun time!!! All you need a balloon! Let them rub it on their heads to make their hair stand up. Also put a balloon next to running water, and see how the water will bend around the balloon and the static electricity! The your kids can always play, "Don't let it touch the floor." This should take up at least an hour of a rainy afternoon!
