The "B" Word.

Did the "B" word creep in to your child's vocabulary already this summer("I'm bored!")? Here are 3 simple, fun, easy-to-do indoor activities to spark creativity and imagination.



                                                  Don't let this happen to you...........

Instead, let this happen!!



1. Mix it up!  Add water to cornstarch for fun Oobleck just like the story Bartholomew and the Oobleck by Dr. Seuss.

2. Build it!  Can you get the ball to roll off of your bed, out the bedroom door, down the hall, around the corner and in to it's target? Create an obstacle course using book, blocks, Legos and other toys you have.

3.  Construct it!  Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty is a great story to interact with. Iggy Peck has been an Architect since he was two building towers out of found objects like diapers and glue! Can you build a tower or a bridge like Iggy Peck? Challenge yourself by making it a certain length, height and having to hold a certain amount of weight.
