The only thing missing from this idea is the description of how I’m blissfully catching a few minutes on the laptop or drinking a cocoa while this is all going on.
I love the toddler and preschooler games where I can sit in one place and still participate like if I’m the toll collector while the boys go around and around the living room with push cars. Or when Holden jumps off the yellow chair into pillows and my job is o catch the mid-air leap on camera. Or better yet, if my arched legs are the tunnel or my exhausted body is the “mountain”.
Check out this adorable way to keep the little ones active while you cheer them on: hopscotch indoors! You just need some tape. (Via ohdeedoh)

Way to go nienie!
I love it. Those are my favorite ways to play too!
But the link is not working.
Love it. It just dawned on me–I haven’t even INTRODUCED the IDEA of hopscotch to my son. Sometimes I think you need a syllabus for motherhood, just to keep you on track. I let way too much time pass before I introduced floor puzzles (i.e. the gift of time.)
Being a Seattleite, I always appreciate an active indoor activity. Thanks for this!
