Incredibly Bored...

in July 2012 Moms
We're on day 3 of being stuck inside, first because LO was sick, and now because of a storm. H was gone on Friday and Saturday, and came back just in time to catch LO's flu, so he's been in bed all day.

I feel like we've read every book, done every puzzle ten times, played with the dolls way too much, played with crayons and blocks and everything else. Do you have a fun activity to suggest? I'm considering calling my MIL to come over, just so I don't go insane. Please let me avoid doing something I'll regret!

    Bubble bath, blanket fort, make cookies, finger paint, craft valentines.
    Valentines are a great idea! Unfortunately, we don't have the supplies, but I'll be picking some up. We've already done bubble bath, blanket fort and finger painting, either yesterday or today.

    Licking walls is a better idea than inviting over a MIL! How about swimming in the tub? Putting paint in a ziplock and taping it to the table? Playing with playdoh or shaving cream? Fisher price computer games?
    Ran out of Ziplocs, but that would've been fun! We've done the playdoh and the tub a few times alerady. I'll look up the computer games, but I generally have a rule of her not touching my PC, since I use it for work.

    We play school bus, but it is a leg workout. I place her dolls and stuffed animals in various places around the house...Different rooms and in hallways. I take an empty laundry basket or box and she sits inside. I push her around and we pick up each "person" and ask if they want to go to school. She gets so excited when she spots someone waiting for the bus and will say caillou, or puppy, or baby or whoever it is that she wants me to pick up. Then we take them all to school (the living room) unload one at a time very slowly so I can rest. And then repeat.
    This sounds so cute and fun.  I'll be stealing this idea.
    Tumaini loved this game! I was surprised how quickly she understood what we were doing. By the second time, she was looking for friends to pick up and getting excited when she found one. Thanks for the great idea!
