Socks

Ok this is a simple, productive and Fun way to work on matching with your young child. While doing laundry save all your socks until you have a big pile. Than help you child lay out socks and find matches. You can make it a race or a contest to see who can finish first. Another thing we like to do is after all the socks are matched and folded into balls we play dodgesock ( you know like dodge all). Another game is setting up everyone's laundry baskets and shooting them into the baskets like basket balls. You can have fun, get chores done and work on matching, color and aiming skills. Not to mention a lot of smiles and fun!

Fast food Busy Bag

I love finding easy all put together activities for my kids. And this we just happened to find as we were traveling and stopped for lunch. As we got the kids their kids meals i didn't expect to much more than the normal chicken, apples, milk and some cheap toy that would entertain the kids for a few minutes. I was pleasantly surprised to find Mattel travel versions of some of there games. I was so excited I asked for more. I was able to get Pictonary Man, Wac A Mole & Flippin' Frogs. In the Wendy's kids meals. My kids really enjoyed them and were able to work their brains at the same time.
