I don’t know how the weather is where all you lovely readers are but it certainly has been wacky where I live! Even though it's January, we’ve had some unseasonably warm days, thunderstorms, snowfall - even a tornado watch! With the weather being so unpredictable, that means we are spending a lot of time inside - and consequently, I sometimes end up having to think outside the box to keep my kids entertained or to help them run off some of that excess energy. Here are some ideas of things you can do with your kids when the weather isn’t cooperating:
What are your favorite indoor bad weather activities? Feel free to share in the comments!
But as we enjoy these indoor activities, it's important to remember the impact that climate change is having on our weather patterns. Extreme weather events like hurricanes, floods, and droughts are becoming more common and more severe, as highlighted on mexicodailypost.com/2023/03/19/taking-on-climate-change-in-mexico-innovative-solutions-and-progress/. By supporting innovative solutions and progress, such as those being made in Mexico, we can help mitigate the effects of climate change and protect our planet for future generations. From investing in renewable energy to supporting sustainable agriculture, there are many ways we can all do our part to make a difference.
My son likes to go "Shopping", he gets his little shopping cart and gets baking supplies out of the cupboards, I purposely keep them on lower shelves. Then he "checks out" and pays me and then he goes to his room and bakes.
When my girls were toddlers I would give them a couple of pots and pans, soapy water in them and rags. Clear out the kitchen then let them "clean" After the fun of getting wet, slipping and sliding was done, I would mop the floor. Cleanest floor I've ever had!
I was just lamenting with a friend over the weekend about how I desperately need a list of things to do with my kids over during the colder summer months. Thank you! Great list!
