Tea Party Day<\/strong>:\u00a0 Mix up some warm cocoa or milk and invite the dolls or stuffed animals for a tea party<\/p>\n

Treasure Hunt!<\/strong>:\u00a0 Pretend you are all on a desert island looking for treasure. Make a map or place clues around the house leading the children through the hunt. This can be done with pictures for non-readers – draw a picture of the television, then at the television place a picture of the stove. At the stove place a picture of a bed, and so on to the end. The “treasure” can be a treat to eat, or a new game to play.\u00a0\u00a0 Read books about pirates to add to the fun.<\/p>\n

Build a playhouse today<\/strong>:\u00a0 Find a box from a large appliance and turn it into a playhouse to use indoors. Cut windows and a door. Furnish it and decorate it as you wish.<\/p>\n

Make a fort today<\/strong>:\u00a0 Use blankets and couch cushions to make a fort and play inside.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forge to put everything away! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Make a picture frame<\/strong> :\u00a0 Glue 4 Popsicle sticks (available in craft departments) in a square to make a frame. Decorate the frame with glitter, lace, yarn, feathers, stickers, confetti or whatever you have on hand. Mount a picture from the back and be sure to date it! You can also glue a magnet on from the back so that the picture can hang on the refrigerator. (This activity is suitable for children 3 and older)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
