Sick Day Activites For Kids...

Today we are home with lots of germs and sick kiddos. :o(  Although we would love to be out in the sunshine on a warm beach somewhere baking the germs away, it's cold here today...so we are thinking up lots of fun activities to do inside, instead of watching TV.

Here are a few of our ideas...

• Toy Car Wash:  Get a big basin of warm soapy water and clean sponges..  Add plastic toy cars or any plastic toys that could use washing and let kids wash and play.

• Read stories together.

• Make paint hand prints on paper and date and label them. (We never have enough of these and those little hands grow so quickly!)

• Make a blanket tent in the living room..

• String beads, macaroni or cheerios to make pretty necklaces and bracelets.

• Play a game together.

• Write a silly story and illustrate it together. 

• Make a smoothie with fruit and yogurt

• Paint fingernails and toenails

• Fill a plastic container with snow to bring inside, put mittens on and play!

What do you like to do on sick days?  Please leave a comment, we'd love more ideas!
