We actually just introduced @Mrs. Jacks to pudding painting last week. :)</p> <p>I feel like we've exhausted our usual indoor activities, but we haven't baked in a while, so maybe we'll do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-a-fun-indoor-activity#post-582625 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:42:32 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 582625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Homemade playdough with cookie cutters/rollers, bubbles, dance party, masking tape roads for cars...</p> <p>food coloring and whip cream/shaving cream and paint the bathtub!

You can make it up and use it as finger paint. We used to smear it on the table and draw shapes in it, but I've also seen it done where people actually use it on paper. If it's a light colored pudding you can mix food coloring in and make different colors too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-a-fun-indoor-activity#post-582585 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:32:28 +0000 mrs. wagon 582585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: aw boo. I found some in a gift set someone got for us. </p> <p>how about baking and decorating cookies? our babysitter did a project with WJ where he finger painted with chocolate pudding (I'd only do that RIGHT before bathtime though!! haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/need-a-fun-indoor-activity#post-582576 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 12:30:18 +0000 Honeybee 582576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: ah that looks like fun!

DH didn't snowblow, so we can't drive anywhere, and the sidewalks aren't cleared yet, so we can't got for a walk. The snow is too deep to play outside, so I need a good indoor activity to keep the kiddos occupied! Suggestions? DD is 2.5 and DS is 10 months. </p>
