Kids Meme: It’s Playtime

September 14, 2011 by 8 Comments

Every week on Wednesday afternoons we host a kids meme called “It’s Play Time”.  Hundreds of fun ideas of ways you can play with and enjoy your kids are featured each week from bloggers around the world.  Below are some of my favorite posts that were recently linked up.

Make time to play.

At the kids craft blog Share and Remember, they created a DIY peg board, great for teaching kids geometric shapes and angles.

This corsage is super simple for kids to make!  Frog, Goose and Bear made a bracelet with duct tape (sticky side out) then attached their finds to the band – genius!

Paint by moving magnets is a fun kids game and activity, by Joyfully Weary.  I just love the expression on her son’s face as he figures it out!

Use CDs and objects to explore color with a light table – Great fun play time with kids from Happy Hooligans.

Sometimes the simple pleasures are the best!  These straw rockets remind me of a high-school cafeteria.  Great childhood memories!  Thanks Tinkerlab for reminding me to enjoy these with our kids.
