bad bad blogger...weekly plans

I'm sure no one who reads this blog is remotely upset when I forget to post my weekly plans. But in case you miss little insights into MY home here they are:

We're having a fun/silly/crazy theme this week (read: Mom was too lazy to make real plans!)

1. Raisins and Toothpicks (from Busy Preschooler Book). The raisins are the glue that hold toothpicks shapes, letters, art together. Go crazy with 'em.

2. Squish bags. This is one of my favorite go to activities. Let kids squeeze any kind of goo (toothpaste ketchup, jello) into a zip bag, add a few bumpy items, zip and squeeze away. And no, I don't expect you to wash out this zip bag!!! (Busy Toddler)

3. Sticky Walk. Tape contact paper upside down onto floor. Walk on it, put hands on it, stick little toys to it...fun, fun, fun for a long, long time. (Busy Toddler)

4. Silly treasure hunt. I'll hide 3x5 cards with silly movements or activities written on each. When that card is found, the activity is done.

Little kids are so easy to please! What simple and fun activities work well in your house?
