Need some indoor play ideas for kids ages 3 & 4?

...

We haven't been able to go outside to play for almost two weeks because of heavy rain, and I'm running out of indoor ideas. My kids were in preschool for two days a week and that helps, but the "school-year" ended earlier this week, and now we're all stuck inside with nothing in the immediate future to look forward to go and do.

Here's what we've been doing:
Coloring--we started with 48 new crayons and now only have 4-5 that are an inch long
Watched movies (with popcorn, and a makeshift tent)
Sang songs and danced around
Attempted duck duck goose (the 3 y/o doesn't really understand so they just chase each other around in circles for about 15 minutes)
Fed and named, all of our fish
Learned how to do some of the chores (they can now put all their sheets on their beds, including the fitted sheet)
Played with play-doh
Made a loaf of homemade bread together
Little puzzles
Flashed alphabet cards
Worked on writing their names


I'm not very creative, so I've run out of things to do with them. They love to go outside and usually spend much of the day starting in April until October outside playing in the sandbox, swings, bikes etc. but this being inside is starting to take its toll.

Can anyone give me any other ideas of things I can do with them inside (I can't take them anywhere because my husband and I share a car, and he takes it to work, if I want it we have to drop him off, and pick him up, so I only use it when absolutely necessary).

Answer
I play flashlight find. Hide little objects around a room (like an egg hunt). Turn off the lights and give each kid a flashlight, then have the "detectives" find the hidden loot. Building a fort is a lot of fun. If they are super creative they can also create signs for their fort, maybe even "decorate" by stringing up holiday lights etc. This is more exciting for girls but, we would make our own paper dolls by drawing a girl and then drawing out dressing for them, cutting them out etc. You can make those little paper fortune tellers (instructions online) by folding them out of paper and play that game. Have a picnic indoors- pop popcorn, cut up fruit, sing songs like teddy bears' picnic etc. Pack a basket even and "go on your picnic" in the living room. Have a talent competition, set up a little stage and have everyone take turns showing off talents like joke telling etc. Make sock puppets and put on a show from behind the couch. Have fun!

What is a good indoor tent?

Riley Asht

Im trying to find a good indoor tent on amazon that can house at least 4 people. But I cant find anything good. Anyone have an idea on what kind of tent I should get?

Answer
You may not be getting answers because of the confusion around indoor. I can think of two indoor reasons, kids play in, or to set up in an auditorium in an emergency disaster. Other?

You may consider rephrasing your question with what is a good summer tent, one season.

I'm not an expert on tents; I have a couple good ones. I would think something made by Coleman or Kelty would fit your needs. REI would be the next level. Maybe detail what you mean by good.

Hope it helps.

How to entertain toddlers when it rains?

kids tents indoor play image

lennie2008

I baby sit a really active 2 year old. We are usually outside when I sit for her. But when ever It rains we have to stay inside but, she never wants to. She does not like watching D.V.D's, arts and crafts or playing with her toys, all she likes doing is creating GIANT messes.
How should I entertain her?

Answer
- Play hide and seek
- Built a tent out of sheets and furniture
- Color
- If possible maybe you could get her to take a nap?
- Bake cookies or a cake! It's fun, kinda messy, and you can eat it afterwards!
- Find an educational game on the internet for her to play
- Dress her up in a pretty dress and take "model" pictures of her
- Play with play dough
- Write a film/movie, and record it with a video camera
- Play with pets (if you have any)
- Sit outside on the porch and watch the rain (if it's not cold outside)
- Put on a raincoat, boots, and an umbrella and go outside!
- Take her for a drive in the rain
- Listen to music

- Have an indoor picnic - this is my kid's favorite. Make lots of healthy treats, lay out a blanket, and enjoy! Here are some treat ideas.

*Ants on a Log
Take a stalk of celery, spread peanut butter on it, and sprinkle raisins on it
*Peanut Butter Pizza
Spread peanut butter on a tortilla. Peel and slice and an apple. Lay apple slices on top. Sprinkle raisins on top. It's delicious. =)
*M&M Pretzels
Get square pretzels. Get hershey's hugs and warm them until they are soft. Place the hug on the pretzel. Then put an M&M on top of the hug and push it down.
*Peanut butter and banana sandwiches
Spread peanut butter on a slice of bread, and then slice bananas on the bread, and put another piece of bread on top.

This will keep her busy making the treats and then eating them!

Good luck!

kids tents indoor play image

baronboru

My son is 4 1/2 and my daughter just turned 3. Sometimes we can't get outside. We're looking to cure the boredom!
Please don't suggest tv or movies because I want to do something to keep them active.

Answer
Oh, do the same things the kids would do in preschool:

Art and crafts. - have them make puppets to go along with a story.
Allow them to make up a story to ago along with the puppets.
Make sun catchers. - clear contact paper and tissue paper is all that is needed.
Make a necklace out of noddles - yarn and noddles are all you need. You can paint the noddles.

Finger painting, painting with a paint brush, painting with pine cones, painting with acorns (You'll need a piece of paper, a large zip loc food container. - cut the paper to fit inside the container then drop in some paint and acorns, and let the kids shake. - be sure to put the lid on.)
Painting with a leaf.
Paint with a old toy car (wheels). push the car along a piece of paper after dipping the wheels in paint.
paint with anything you can put dip in paint.

Read a book and then have the kids act it out.

Play dress-up.

Build a farm with blocks, get animals from another toy to use.

Make a tent out of a table.

Read books

pretend to be airplanes.

Spin in circles until you are dizzy.

Call out animals for your children to "act like" - You call out "dog" and your kids get on all fours and bark.

Play Simon says

Play Ring around the Roses.)

Turn a box into something. - A house, a car, etc...color, paint, use stickers, to decorate.

Be SILLY!

What are some cool 15th birthday ideas for about 5 girls?

as;lgkj0q2

Birthday's coming up, wanna have a fun party. They will probably all sleep over, but what are some fun things we could do?

Answer
Have your guest bring sleeping bags, flashlights, pajamas, fuzzy slippers, etc.

1. Tie a balloon with string around your guest's ankles. On "go" everyone tries to stomp on everyone else's balloon.

2. Give all guests a toothpick to put in between their teeth. They form a line and try to pass a lifesaver or any candy with a hole in it to everyone with using only your toothpick.

3. Put truth and dare cards in a balloon and have guests pick a balloon pop it and answer the truth or do the dare.

4. Play hide and go seek at night

5. Have a silly string war

6. Put a cookie on your forehead and get it to your mouth by using facial expressions only

7. Have one girl be the pointer. She points at one girl to start off a random story then she points to another girl to continue it, and so on

8. Have a girl leave the room while everyone hides in their sleeping bags. The girl comes in and feels the bodies to guess who it is.

8. Have friends bring over board games to play

9. Have an equal pile of m&ms for every girl. One teen starts off by saying I have never... (I have never gone to Hawaii) If it is true for you, eat an m&m. Whoever has the most left wins!

10. Have a bowl of small multicolored candy (like skittles) Have everyone grab 2 candies. If they have the same color you get to eat them. If not you must keep this in your mouth. Round after round you stuff sweets into your mouth until you have 2 of the same color.

11. Play a classic game of truth or dare

12. Watch a movie.

13. Freeze dance

14. Give each other makeovers, BLINDFOLDED!

15. Play "Do You Like Your neighbor?".

16. Paint each other's finger nails.

17. Play hide and go seek in the dark!

18. Rent lots of movies!

19. Treasure hunt in the dark. (have people bring a flashlight to use)

20. Have a dance off... with bubble wrap. Try to pop the most bubbles.

21. Indoor picnic! Pack a basket of goodies, lay out a blanket in the living room, and enjoy a indoor picnic!

22. Tea party! Pull out your finest doll china (if the kids can be trusted with it) and serve hot cider, finger sandwiches, and fancy cookies. As you play you can even teach your guests proper manners for a formal occasion (ediquete).

23.Camp out! Clear some space in the basement, pitch a tent, pull out your sleeping bags, and let the kids sleep inside. (Teddy Bears optional.)

24. To a huge puzzle all together! Put your smarts together to figure it out!

25. Dance! Teach the kids your favorite dance.

26. Test Your Taste Buds! Have one person make something from ingredients in the kitchen and then other person has to put on a blindfold and eats the food. The person with the blindfold on then makes a guess at what the food is or what ingredients are in it.

27. Drama Bag Game - Fill shopping bags with 5 different items in each bag. A shoe, hat, party favor etc. - but fill each bag with different things. Divide into teams and give each team one bag. Go to different rooms and create a skit which includes all items in the bag. After 15 minutes come back and perform. Variation: Create a song or commercial.

28. Play Maufia.

29. Talk! Late Nights are a good time for friends to just get together and talk too!

30. HAVE FUN!!!!!!

For dinner have a "Mystery Meal". Give each guest a menu, but have the items coded like Dr.Pepper is Physicians spice. It is funny to see your friends so confused! Here are some more ideas:
âNeptune's Tridentâ (fork)
âPucker Upâ (lemonade)
"Shovel" (spoon)
"Finger Puppets" (olives)
"Early Morning Alarm" (chicken)
"Gold nuggets" Clue- Pocahontace (corn)

Smoothies

Can i catch sickness from being in the same building as someone who was?

kids tents indoor play image

I work in a kids indoor play area and today throughout the day two kids were sick.I didn't go near the sick or the children as i tent to stay in the kitchen area, but do i have a chance of catching the bug from being in the same building as the sick? I've been washing my hand and using hand gel after i touch the surfaces and cleaning. I ask because I have a really bad phobia

Answer
As long as you're not in the same room with them, keeping your hands clean the chances are really small to get the bug, but a little chance always exists, but I doubt it that you caught it..

What are the best Indoor playplaces in NW Oregon?

amanda_hus

I'm looking for an indoor playplace for my daughter's birthday party in January. It should be suitable for children from 2 to 8 or so. The cheaper the better...I don't want to have to pay hundreds of dollars for a party package. Would rather bring our own cake and that's it.

Answer
Not knowing exactly where you ar, this can be a tough one to answer. But here are some fairly universal examples of options:

1) Check with the local gymnastics group in your area. They frequently have group parties where you bring the cake, they do a mini gym class for the kids. They run $50-75 for our area (south coast of Oregon).

2) Talk to a local theater about a party package. Have guest pay for the movie (G rated of course) and you provide the cake or popcorn. Our theater gives background tours and the 6-9 year olds really enjoyed it.

3) Check with a bowling alley about a party room and game of bowling. Even 2-3 year olds can play with the really light balls.

4) Check with a local swimming pool. They often have parties.

5) On the south coast we have a business called "Outdoor In" which has lots of younger kid toys, rides and an indoor inflatable jump tent. They have video games for older kids. Check at Oak Park (Portland) - I think they have something similar - if not, see about a ride on the carousel and a party.

6) See if one of your friends has a community building at their apartment house. You might use it to host the party.

Good luck!

How do you make an indoor tent?

kids tents indoor play image

Luigi fan

I wanna make an indoor tent with my bed cuz my real tent broke and my freind's coming over and we were ganna camp...
Please answer my question!

Answer
"Tents donât necessarily have to go outdoors. You can make a fun indoor tent thatâs collapsible and will give the kids hours of enjoyment. This tent doesnât need any stakes but you will have to have plenty of fabric.
How To Make A Collapsible Indoor TentSheets can be used to make curtains, tablecloths, and yes, even tents.

Consider sheets instead of other material, since theyâre inexpensive and easy to work with, for this project.

Five twin sheets will make an excellent tent. You can purchase fabric, though, in smaller yardage than the sheets, if youâd like a shorter or smaller tent. Working with sheets makes it easier, since you donât have to measure and cut each side of the tent.

Consider how much floor space you can spare for the tent. Remember that the tent is easily collapsible if it needs to be moved in a hurry. Measure out the amount of space youâre willing to give the tent, then cut a sheet or piece of fabric to that size, allowing a couple extra inches on each side for hemming, and making sure to cut the piece in a perfect square. If one end of the sheet is already hemmed, do not add the extra inches for that side.

The square piece, upon being completely hemmed, becomes the top of the tent. Each of the four remaining sheets will become a side of the tent. Stitch the first sheet onto one side of the tent, at the very top edge. Allow the edge of the tent top to barely hang over the top edge of the sheet. Continue this until you have three sides sewn onto the tent. For the fourth side of the tent, cut the sheet in half, lengthways, then hem the cut edges. Sew the sheet onto the tent, making the fourth side, including a doorway. Make tabs and sew one on the top section and one on the bottom section of each sheet edge. These are used to tie the sides shut.

In order to hang the collapsible tent insert four eye hooks into the ceiling. To make the tent collapse out of the way of guests, insert two of the eye hooks next to the top ceiling molding. The four hooks should align with the four corners of the tent top.
String wire through the tent at all four corners. Wad the wire into a ball shape at each end, inside the tent, to keep it from coming out when hung. String the wire up to the eye hooks, making sure to get the tent top level and even. Simply wrap the wire around the eye hook and itâll hang until ready to collapse.

To collapse the tent just undo the front two wires. To remove the tent completely, just remove all four wires from the eye hooks. The tent is easy to hang again, and the kids will have a blast when they play in it."

what fun activity/ies can i do with my friends on a weekend as a celebration to my birthday?

kids tents indoor play image

nataliya05

i want to go someplace with my friends for either a one day trip or a weekend to celebrate my 19th birthday. i was thinking of something along the lines of hiking, or going skydiving, or going to see some interesting places. (i wish we could go to grand canyon but it is too far, i need something near NY) Does anyone know of any places or activities that i can plan to do on my birthday? I need to plan this by september 22nd.

Thanks to all who will reply.

Answer
Happy Birthday a little early to you. I like the skydiving thing but, just remember it can get expensive. If that is something you want to do you might want to check out these websites:

I would also be sure you ask them about their safety record and maybe do a little âbackgroundâ check on them. You are trusting them with your life after all! It really is a good time, just pick a safe company.

What about going camping for a weekend?? That is always fun, maybe you all could pick a place that has hiking, canoeing and some other activities. OK so it might not be as adventurous as Skydiving, but it can be cheap and fun! You could also find a park that has cabins for rent if you all donât want to do the tent thing. Here are some state parks that have different accommodations:

There are so many wonderful places to camp, or stay in cabins you will want to check out this site for more info:
http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/

I donât know who you all plan on taking but, what about doing a day spa thing and then a nice dinner and stay at a hotel? That could be fun. I am sure that a spa somewhere is running a special.

What about going Bungee Jumping?? Almost like skydiving, well kinda! It could be fun take a weekend and combine camping/cabin ect with a little adventureâ¦. I did bungee and I really liked it. I did not do it in NY so I am sorry I cannot tell you about companies but, check out this site it will help you find a place!
http://www.planjam.com/bungee.html

What about going into NYC and site seeing? Donât know if you have done this or not but, it can be fun! Itâs your birthday pick the places you want to see, you want to eat at ect⦠You could also go to Coney Island or the beach those are always good options. What about taking surf lessons??? There are tons of surf shops by the beach that offer lessons. You and your friend could have a great time doing this! Get a place near the beach and have a great weekend!

Go site see at Niagara Falls. Donât know if you have ever been there but, it really is cool. Again you could camp or get a room. There is tons of stuff to see and the falls are just amazing!

Okay now here is a crazy idea, my friends and I for my 20th birthday got together and had a slumber party at one of those indoor kids places, Tumble Drum where I live. You know one of those places that has the indoor play ground. We put together games and we really had a good time. We had pizza and acted like kids for the evening, they had tunnels, slides and more. Yeah they built this place for kids but, this was one of my best birthdays. We had a great time and well for our age it was just crazy!

Speaking of slumber parties you could always have one and do silly games, do something like a driving scavenger hunt those are always fun. Make up a list of things each team has to findâ¦.spread the places out so they have to drive, put a time limit on it and the team to bring back the most wins. Put a time limit on it so your friends come back! Have food delivered; get some good movies you want to see. I know sounds childish but, my friend and I try to do this once a year and we just have a great time!

What about a roadtrip?? Look at a map and find some places you have always wanted to go, map your highways and set out on an adventure, heck don't even find places just pick some highways and go for it! You never know what you will discover and you all will have a great time!

Is there a concert, play or something else you want to see coming in town?? Yeah it might not be on your birthday but, a group of you going to see something you want to see and having some dinner can really be a lot of fun! I guess the best answer for you is be creative, think outside the box, think of things YOU want to do, have always wanted to do and plan it. After all it is your day! I hope this helps you good luck!

Good gift ideas for 1st birthday during winter weather?

Jill P

My son will be turning 1 in October, and I'm trying to decide what to get him for his birthday. I was looking at some ride-on toys, wagons, lil quads, etc, but it will be coming on winter so he wouldn't get much use out of them until the spring. I was also thinking of a small table and chairs. What would be some other good ideas for a 1-year-old that he could get a lot of use out of indoors during the winter? Thanks!

Answer
A baby sled
A pop-up tent or character house for indoor play
A comfy child-size chair (my kids had a Winne the Pooh chair that they loved)
