Winter Games 2009
Baby, it’s COLD outside! Although my kids love playing outside, we need indoor activities as well. Presenting; The 2009 Winter Games:
Using painters tape or masking tape, we created somewhat of an indoor playground. This is set up in our family room, so I purposely put it under our area rug, so that I can cover it up when they aren’t playing on it.
If you are a mom like me, you can just let your kids go crazy and compete amongst themselves. If you’re an awesome mom, you could have events, judging, and an awards ceremony with homemade medals using this template.
THANK YOU for your overwhelming response to my plate sale! Today is the last day you can get a Healthy Habits Plate for $2.99 (the shipping is 0.99 per plate). Budget a little tight? Head over to Simply Healthful and Heather is giving away a plate (Only until Friday). Here is part of Heather’s review:
When I served this lunch to him he said,”Mommy the plate says I need carrots too”, I was shocked, he is not a carrot boy.
Thanks Heather!!

We regularly have a tape hopscotch board down, but I hadn’t thought of a balance beam or long jump. Great ideas! My son got the game Hyper Dash for Christmas, and we’ve been having great fun with that too. WE place the game pieces all over the house – lots of running – and my son likes to add rolls and jumps into the requirements too.

Okay – it’s official, you’re amazing. I’ve been trying to think of an idea on how to practice balance beam, and then I come to your site and here it is. Thanx!

That’s a cute idea. I’ve put tape on the floor before to walk on, but I’d never think of the hopscotch and putting it under a rug so you can leave it there!

Fantastic idea Amy! I’m going to “build it” while the kids are at school today
