Need a quick distraction? Nothing fancy, but lots of fun. You can easily give your kid a new perspective on the world by fashioning a colored viewer. For other quick ideas visit my Indoor Activities for Kids list (which I need to update!). First published 3/4/09.
I’m sure that you have spare colored cellophane hanging around your house, right? Okay, maybe you aren’t as obsessed with art materials as I am but just in case…. attach some cellophane to a couple of toilet rolls with a rubber band and you have instant entertainment.
My kids would love these colored lenses. I'm off to check out your list of other ideas!
I love this idea! Next time I have colored cellophane…
Your list of ideas is incredible!!!
Love this! We have cellophane lying around, (we share your obession I guess)and I'll be pulling this idea out next time we're stuck indoors on a rainy day! Thanks for linking up to the Weekly Kid's Co-op. Each Friday, I feature my favourites from the week's link up. I would love to feature this post. Would you be happy for me to do that and use the above image on my post? I would link back to this post and your homepage. I hope you will consider it!
I would love it if you featured this post. Thanks!
Yay! Thank you. The post is up now.
