Mama...come play with me :)

Hi Everyone .....am looking for creative, fun ways to keep my son busy. Whenever i'm in the middle of something, my kitchen door opens and it would be none other than my sweetie pie, complaining that hez feeling bored. During holidays its really difficult to keep them occupied 'coz how long do u expect them to do the same thing over 'n over. Either they spend time in front of the TV or else would pass time with play station.

When we think of play today, the first thing that comes to mind are toys. But then should one waste money on useless toys ? One should go for some creative learning toy like a jigsaw puzzle. There are lota online interactive activities for various age groups, which kids would love to do.

Couple of days back when we went out shopping, sang bought for adi, Monopoly- junior edition. Thats' his first monopoly board game. Its really a fun game for children to play.It helps kids learn to take turns, follow directions, and learn basic counting skills. In many ways the game is just like Monopoly. The goal is to end the game with the most money. Cheers to Parker Brothers for reaching not only out with trendy variations of its flagship product (Star Trek, Pokemon Monopoly, etc.) but to the youngest players who would enjoy and learn from this beloved game.

Major advantage of the game being it could go on for hours and is sure to become a family favourite. I feel no home should b without it.

wish to pour in some idea ? share in the comments!

Happy Playing :)
