Indoor activities for kids?




Sadie


So we live in Dallas Texas and it is sooooo HOT! So hot that my kids dont want to go out and play. So I would like some suggestions on activities that we can do indoors. In our home and anywhere else.
We have three boys. Ages 4,2 & 5 months.
And I know they get bored inside all day so help! :-)
Thanks and God Bless

Good building blocks to make towers?




Daniel


What would be a good inexpensive block system to use to build tower sculptures etc. ?
Im looking for something interlocking such as LEGOs but less expensive and easy to find in large quantities



Answer
when i was a kid, we had some blocks that were cut off the bottoms of fence pickets, to make the pickets shorter. the blocks were twice as long as they were wide, and of normal fence picket thickness - around 3/4 of an inch. I've never seen them for sale anywhere, but they got used more than any store bought blocks that i've ever seen. Interestingly, my younger sister never played with them -- only the boys did. By stacking them 2x2 on their sides, we could make a tower that reached nearly to the ceiling. They were sort of like Jenga blocks, but larger -- 3 1/2 x 7 inches or so. When our daughter was born, I looked for something that i could make them out of, but when i realized that it's a boy's toy, not a girls toy, i dropped the idea.
