Neighborhood Find of the Week:
Raise your hand if your playground equipment has a built in history lesson! Isn’t this cool?
Indoor Active Play Ideas of the Week:
It’s getting cold out and even if you can’t get to the playground your kids still need to get their wiggles out.
- I love this informative post on the benefits big body play and how to set up an effective indoor obstacle course from Mommy Labs.
- The Created Home shows you her indoor hopscotch.
- Growing a Jeweled Rose hits you with 50 Ideas to Keep Kids Active in Winter with ideas for in the house and out and about in your neighborhood.
- One of my favorite materials for indoor play is the Ping-Pong Ball! The boys especially like playing the “Amazing Rectangle” game, which I first shared with you two years ago.
Blog of the Week: If you have children aged 0-5 you will find In Lieu of Preschool really handy! And if you are a book lover, like me you should check out her book posts.
Book of the Week:
Chocolate Fever. I’ve been reading this classic book from 1972 out loud to both boys. It might just cure New Kid of his chocoholism. (That’s a word, right?)

Cool playground equipment. I think we read Chocolate Touch – a pretty dark book that Anna rejected mid stream.
The girls definitely have had some stir-crazy days- the indoor obstacle course sounds like fun! Carly is also a chocoholic- I am so going to add that to our readaloud list.
Kiddo likes the obstacle courses they do at school for Gym class, so I think this will be a fun activity for winter at home.
That is an awesome thing to have at a playground!
I love In Lieu of Preschool’s blog.
