HAZY DAY BOREDOM BUSTERS!! 🌈🙌❤️
1. Make playdough or borax-free slime (recipe and step-by-step highlights on my ig @rachealkwacz).
2. Cornstarch, oats, toilet paper and water, psyllium husk, soapy water and brushes, newspaper, the pantry is your oyster in sensory play ideas!
3. Make a fort and get cosy with some books and cuddle buddies.
4. Have an art attack afternoon and craft together or paint in the shower for an easy clean up.
5. Turn up some tunes and have a dance party! There’s even a playlist on Spotify called Hazed & Confused! 😂❤️
6. What time is it Mr Wolf? Duck duck goose. Simon Says. London Bridge. Ring around the Rosie. Hide & Seek. Candyland. Feed the Woozle. Twister. Or better yet, see what crazy game you and your toddler can come out with and I bet you they will!!!
7. Bake a special treat together, try out a new recipe, make ants on a log or just help mama make dinner!
8. Cosy up together and have a movie date complete w snacks and “fancy” juicetails!
9. Legos, magna tiles, wooden blocks, packaging material, recyclables..build something magical together.
10. Create your own band with musical instruments from the kitchen – wooden spoon karaoke, mixing bowl drums, beans in containers maracas…the possibilities are endless!
11. Expensive but very entertaining. Let your little pick a Lush bath bomb and go to town as they have the bath of their life. Buys you a good 30mins, just remember to stay close and supervise.
12. Clean and bring in your scooter or bicycle and just let them have fun around the house. Amp it up and create an obstacle course!
13. Invite a neighbor or friend over for a DIY pizza party/sundae bar/sandwich crazy or just to play!
14. For older littles or if you have kid-friendly nail polish, have a little mani-pedi mama and teeny tiny spa! 🦄
15. Mostly, it’s just bonus time together connecting but don’t forget that it’s perfectly okay (and healthy!) to take mama breaks for you too. ❤️
