A Tricky Challenge to Get You Started:
Coin Catching à la Elbow!
Put your right hand on your right shoulder. Point your elbow out in front of you. Lay a penny on the flat part of your arm just above your elbow. Without moving your arm, turn your hand so the palm of your hand is facing up. Very quickly move your elbow down and try to catch the penny with your right hand as it falls.
The record for caught pennies when I was a kid was a stack of 14. How many can you catch?
Want more fun? Try licking your elbow. Balance a spoon on your nose. Make an edible ice-cream cone Christmas tree. There’s so much more inside! Grab 1,001 Boredom Busting Play Ideas for a LOW playtime price–it won’t last forever!–and have your best sleepover, birthday party, road tip, babysitting experience, snowy day, or play time ever!

Today I am over at The Indie Chicks Online Mag sharing my thoughts (and some research) on the importance of letting our kids roam and play. So go grab a glass of wine, let the kids see how much playdough they can stick to the underside of the dining room table before it peels off, and click this linky to read my take on Mom Guilt and letting our kids play.
Teaser: I call you a “kick a$$ mom.” (That’s so unlike me!)
This post just might change your life! (And if it doesn’t, well, have another glass of wine. You’re doing just fine!)
Don’t miss it, and most of all…
Enjoy!
P.S. How do you survive parenting guilt? Has parenting guilt made you change your life?
(It once caused me to give up a job I loved–being a school librarian. I also have since then given up offers to work in other schools as well as the public library sector. Wah! But then I found this job–writing! I love it and it’s flexible. It doesn’t matter if the kids are sick–I don’t have t call in anywhere or worry (at least not more than usual). Yay! It’s win-win.)
Enjoy!
As you may have noticed, the blog has been a bit quiet lately as I have been working as a childrens’ programmer (story time gal) in a public library as well as helping two fine writers edit their manuscripts.
I will return to my regular posts soon, but in the meantime, please feel free to check out the full list of activities posted on itsallkidsplay.ca as well as past blog posts using the subject groups to your left.
Have fun and enjoy!
