Kids – Fun Spring Break Activities

April 19, 2014   |   2 Comments

We are in the midst of Spring Break.   We really needed a low key week with little or no plans.  Since I knew boredom would set in quickly, I decided to make it fun for the kids by saying YES to most of the things I usually say NO to.

First up –  Take a deep breath and go into this knowing that my patience will be tested, I will feel out of control, my house will look like a war zone and I will grin and bear it!

Bed time –  We’ve had no bed time this week. They’ve lasted until 10:30 each night.

Play Dates – We’ve had them EVERY day. Sometimes more than one.

Candy – Its whats for breakfast.  Ok, well not really, but thanks to the Easter Bunny, we have much more than we’d ever have in the house.  But when I see that chocolate egg going into a tiny mouth before 10am, I smile and look away quickly before that vein pops out in my head.

Sleep overs– We’ve had three this week.  I don’t usually have three in 6 months.  But the kiddos had fun and thats what spring break is for, right?

Water Balloon Fights – When I suggested it, I’m not sure who was more shocked – them or me???  Huge hit!  This filled up about 2 hours of a play date.

Spray Bottles – I picked a few up at the Dollar Store.  After the water balloon fight, they made it rain in the yard, then sprayed the plants.

Art Central – I gave up my dining room table for the week.  I used a Dollar Store plastic table cloth, brought out all the art supplies I could find and bought a stack of poster board. (2/$1 at DollarTree)  They’ve spent so much time here this week, with friends and without.   They love making posters and collages.  Some are even a group effort.  One was cut into a few puzzle pieces they could each keep a part of it.
