Since we got into such a huge rut before Beth went away, I want to continue experimenting with different ways of having more structure and rhythm to our days and weeks. Not attempting to force anything, but simply brainstorming some ideas so that we don’t end up in an electronic stupor once again…
Some stuff to do when we can’t think of anything to do
- Read books together: go through the library every day or two and pull out anything which looks interesting or which the munchkins would like to read, so we don’t get bored reading the same books over and over, and so we actually THINK about reading as an option!
- Go for a walk to the park.
- Pull out one of Katy’s puzzles or games.
- Start building things out of Duplo or Mobilo etc.
- Work on my embroidery project; teach Beth the stitch and help her set up a practice piece if she’s interested.
- Painting, drawing, collage or other art/craft activities.
- Do at least three lessons from Math-u-See each week.
- Ideas for Beth on the computer: Starfall, Chicktionary, Classics for Kids web radio.
- Suggest making a project book or scrap book of pictures and pamphlets etc from Darwin trip.
- See if she’s interested in the MS Readathon – yes, now all we have to do is sign her up and she can start collecting sponsors
- Visit the Botanic Gardens, or go to the snake park.
- Girly bonding time doing her hair, etc.
