Activities With Kids (Build A Fort!)

Looking for a good indoor activity with the kids?  

What about a fort?

As the weather remains cold and the kids are copped up through the winter I find myself having to get more and more creative with indoor activities.  Here is one that is super simple, only takes a couple minutes to build (and put up, I might add!  Also super important.) and you kids are going to think you are a super hero!

All you are going to need is a couple of chairs, your couch, some pillows, the largest flat sheet you have, and some binder clips.  The binder clips make a huge difference, by the way, for keeping the sheet draped where you want it.

And tada!

See, binder clips.  Super easy.

The kids will even want to help you put it up.

And they played for hours in there!

Goofy girls!

Sorry about the picture quality, poor I know, but you get the gist.

DIY Dandelion Wall Decoration For The Living Room

DIY Canvas wall painting...

This is so easy, anyone can do this!  No painting skills required.

All you are going to need is 3 canvases, and some blue, yellow and white paint (I didn't have the colors I wanted so I ended up mixing a few together.)

So first, paint all three canvases blue...

Now with the white or yellow draw a curved line on one of the canvases for the stem with a circle at the top.

Now for the floaty bits…  Start adding stars all around the circle and drifting away across all three canvases.  

Here is another view, a little closer this time.  See, I just made a 'Y' shape with an extra line in the middle.

And they start floating away.  Add a couple, take a step back, see if you like it, add a couple more, check where there are more needed, until you are happy with it!

See, how simple, and you are going to LOVE it!
