The latter might get messy for you though. </p> Andrea on "Fun, cheap activities for an afternoon with 3-5 years olds" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-cheap-activities-for-an-afternoon-with-3-5-years-olds#post-2237824 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 20:01:12 +0000 Andrea 2237824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can you take them to the playground? It's always easier to be outside! We have a yard so I just have the kids play out there, if possible, when we have drop off play dates. </p> Mamaof2 on "Fun, cheap activities for an afternoon with 3-5 years olds" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-cheap-activities-for-an-afternoon-with-3-5-years-olds#post-2237541 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:32:11 +0000 Mamaof2 2237541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does it have to be indoors?</p> <p>My kids could play with chalk on the sidewalk for hours! </p> bunnylove08 on "Fun, cheap activities for an afternoon with 3-5 years olds" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-cheap-activities-for-an-afternoon-with-3-5-years-olds#post-2237527 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:20:10 +0000 bunnylove08 2237527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>how about a movie afternoon - show them classic movies</p> <p>pizza making party (you can buy dough from a local pizzeria and have the kids up their own toppings)</p> <p>Sprinklers in the park </p> mrbee on "Fun, cheap activities for an afternoon with 3-5 years olds" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/fun-cheap-activities-for-an-afternoon-with-3-5-years-olds#post-2237509 Wed, 15 Jul 2015 14:05:20 +0000 mrbee 2237509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend's daughter goes to the same summer camp as our kids. The summer camp gets out at 4 pm, so we're going to pick her up and have her hang out with our kids a few times a week.</p> <p>What are some good indoor activities to keep them busy? So far we've been doing arts &amp; crafts, coloring, and board games. Some of those ideas are messier than others though! Any ideas on fun and cheap activities to keep kids busy for two hours or so? </p>
