This website isn’t really made for kids as such but is very useful for parents trying to find activities to entertain their kids.
The main categories are crafts, parties, recipes, games, travel, printables, back to school, how-to videos and magazine.
This site is really great as it has good archive content that you can always refer to for inspiration, as well as frequently updated, seasonal content. By seasonal, I mean, relevant to whatever season it is, and more importantly when you have children, what holiday is coming up next! At the moment for example, there is a feature on Back to School activities and Halloween ideas. How on trend is that!
Back to School activities include a last week before school countdown craft where every day the kids receive a new school supply. Funny how as soon as you wrap something up it becomes exciting. Doesn’t matter if it’s an eraser, a ruler or even a lollipop. Kids love it!
The Halloween website is particularly resourceful (I guess they do have every year to improve on it!). Some of the Halloween costume ideas are really good like the Skeleton or Crocodile Wrestler.
Some are just silly(Black-Eyed Peas)…
…and some are really questionable (why would you dress your kid up as a pizza slice? why?)
The pumpkin carving ideas are cool though don’t let your kids pick which design to for as they will surely go for the hardest of the bunch (the Tiered Pumpkin Tower looks quite a challenge but so does the Haunted House…all those windows!).
Face it, you don’t want to spend more than an hour on this pumpkin carving. Especially as it will have taken you an hour to empty the pumpkin in the first place! I recommend the BOO! design.
Simple, effective and quick. Only problem being you need to empty 4 pumpkins…better get cracking on that pumpkin soup!
