First of all, thank you Allison for asking me to post on Pre-Toddler Activities. I thoroughly enjoy All For The Boys and look forward to more days of experiments, fort building, and LAUGH’s as my son grows up.
to give you a fun activity? The boys kept bringing me balloons to tie and even though I wasn’t sure what they were doing I thought I’d let it play out and find out. I thought for sure I’d hear popping sooner than later but when it was quite for a while I peeked in to see what they were doing and saw this
How about a DIY fort/tent for Legos?
I loved this little craft from Jennifer at Ambrosia Girl and begged her to tell me how she did it and to let me share it here. Luckily I didn’t have to beg too much!
This is a fun quick activity you can do with your kids while you’re making dinner.
I did a special guest post for Jennifer over at Classic Play. Go check it out to see how we built this fort as well as some of our other fort building tips.
p>My boys are fans of the show Phineas and Ferb. I admit that I think it’s pretty cute myself. Being an older sister I can relate a little to Candice! Anyway if you haven’t seen the show, Perry is a pet platypus who is actually a secret agent (Agent P). I pinned this tutorial on Pinterest a while back and the boys made their own Perry’s out of a plastic water bottle, forks (leftover from the Harry Potter Party), masking tape, cardboard from a cereal box, markers, and googly eyes.
So the big crafting plans I had for this changed a bit when the boys got involved (isn’t that how it always works?!) I figured we’d use these boxes for something so the boys and I came up with making a house which then turned into a Lego Spy Headquarters. When I asked why a Lego spy headquarters wouldn’t be made out of Legos I got an exasperated look and “Mom, if it was made out of Lego’s the bad guys would know it was a spy headquarters”. He has a point!
I have some science projects lined up to share, but the boys have been wanting to do these projects that we’ve seen around the blog and they are most important right?!
We finally got the main things we needed for these 2 activities
I think every kid should know how to make a newspaper hat. It can transform you from a normal kid to a sailor, a soldier, a pirate – whatever you want to be! There’s something about props that helps you get into character. I used to love making these hats.
Thank YOU all for reading! I love blogging, finding, and coming up with fun things to do with our boys. I wanted to post some newspaper fun today but we’ll do that tomorrow. Today I wanted to share this super fun Virtual Summer Science Camp from Classic Play I posted it on Facebook but thought it deserved a post if you don’t follow on Facebook.
My boys first pick was the Play Dough Circuits
