Hello friends!
Let's talk about yucky weather and winter activities. I am excited about this post! So lots of people wonder when you homeschool what to do to keep the kids entertained when the weather is not suitable for going outdoors. I have set up a gallery of pictures/ideas of stuff we do for you to browse through. These kids have no shortage of imaginative play and personally I think THAT has a huge part in it. Screen time is limited in our home. to about 1 hr of tv per child and 1 hour of tablet time per child with a cut off at 8pm. One example yesterday: I gave them each a cardboard box, markers, crayons, and scissors and they were entertained building their "cars" for over 2 hours. Utilizing their imagination, motor skills, creativity etc. Indoors they have lots of: connect sticks, legos, blocks, puzzles, games like Ker-Plunk, Jenga, musical Hot Potato and art supplies as well. We also utilize the garage a lot as a kind of "gym" they roller blade in the garage when the weather is not favorable outside and jump rope, play games, and use some of the messier toys out there. We have a speaker set up so they can listen to parental approved music too. We also pull up kids workout videos on youtube occasionally so they can get out the wiggles and get some cardio: 1) Kids HIIT Workout 2 - YouTube 2) Wild Animals Exercise for Kids | Learn about the BIG 5 Animals | Indoor Workout for Children - YouTube 3) 12 MINUTE FULL BODY WORKOUT FOR KIDS | NO REPEATS - YouTube If they say the infamous, "I'm bored!" I set a timer for 15 minutes and pick 4 "centers" they spend 15 minutes in each center and rotate to the next one when the timer goes off. There goes an hour! Or they can have quiet time to read a book. Skim through the pics and tell me what you think! What are some ideas of things you do with your kiddos? Blessings and Shalom as you continue to "pursue the upward calling of God in Messiah Yeshua"-Phil 4:13 *side note DISCLAIMER: I do not receive compensation from ANY of the resources I share or use. They are just resources, curriculum, etc that have blessed our family and may bless yours!*
