Happy Monday!\u00a0 I hope you and your darlings had a wonderful weekend.\u00a0 Here’s a few ways to make some magic this week….<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Find someplace wide open and go where you can make noise, run around, be silly, climb and play freely.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Log onto your library’s interlibrary loan search and order a bunch of children’s books that feature characters with your child’s name.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

3.\u00a0 Play one of these 15 games you can play with a blanket<\/a>.\u00a0 Pitch a tent, bounce stuffed animals or balls off it like a parachute, drag your kiddo around on it…<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

4.\u00a0 Make some salt and glue paintings<\/a>.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

5.\u00a0 Put together a box of clothes to donate and let the kids use it for a fun fashion show ahead of time.\u00a0 Tell the kids to go for over the top!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

6.\u00a0 Make a cardboard loom to weave a gorgeous hot pad like this one<\/a> together.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

7.\u00a0 Use leftover Halloween face paints or makeup to paint designs on the kids’ faces before running errands.\u00a0 You can do simple pictures like flowers, snakes, butterflies, stars or smiley faces, or you can use small stencils for no-fail designs.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

8.\u00a0 Send your child a card listing the things you’re thankful for as his or her parent.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

9.\u00a0 Look at the moon through binoculars.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

10. Play an old fashioned game like charades, jacks, marbles or 20 Questions.\u00a0 Have an old fashioned snack along with it and make it a lazy, fun time together.
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

And with that, Chickadees, I’m off again.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Please be especially nice to yourself this week.\u00a0 And be especially silly.\u00a0 Combine those, and it’s sure to be a good week!
