Emma likes cooking quite a bit as well, so anything where I involve her in the kitchen is really fun for her. You could write letters/draw pictures for grandparents or friends and send them off. Does she like reading books? sometimes my kids will really just love sitting down on the couch with me and reading through a stack of picture books. In the evening, we've even started reading a children's novel (like Charlottte's Web) to Emma before bedtime. And (even though it's not much better than tv) Emma loves to play on the computer... there's great free kids games on Pbs.com, disney.com, and nick.com. Good luck! I hope you get some good ideas for other people because I need some new material too! :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329293698739073679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4917588840991574409.post-30839662353303413232009-01-21T13:07:00.000-07:002009-01-21T13:07:00.000-07:00I saw a cute idea of taking wide colored tape (I'v...I saw a cute idea of taking wide colored tape (I've seen it at Michaels) and making hopscotch on the floor with it!

I can never think of anything to do with my kids at home...thus the tv junkies I've created. So if you come up with anything good, let me know! And of course, you can always come play with us or vice versa!Diane Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05969124158986360263noreply@blogger.com
