Weekend Things
>> Friday, February 27, 2015
Happy weekend, friends. I’ll be back on Monday with some of our favorite activities to ward off cabin fever. It’s been a long, cold winter -- but we’re finding some fun (and frugal!) stuff to do to keep life interesting indoors. Need the info now?! (I can sympathize. We’re crawling up the walls over here.)
Here’s a tip you can use today: Buy your child an inexpensive magnifying glass. Then set up little adventures or “experiments” that make use of magnification. Or just let them play around with it without any specific activity. Ada’s obsessed.
