Like many households in November sickness came knocking at the door and we opened the door to let it in - silly us. Fortunately Aiden got over his cold/cough pretty quickly and is now back to 100%. His Dad and I are not so lucky and are both feeling pretty crummy, but his Dad is much worse than I am. So the question is how do you entertain a busy, active toddler who's going full tilt when you are feeling less than stellar?
The Sick Day Activity List
1. Make get well cards for the sick people in the house using crayons, markers, paper, glue, stickers and any other materials you can find.
2. Make a special treat for the sick person. Let your little person help out by fetching items from the pantry, pouring ingredients into the bowls, stirring the mixture and wiping up any spills. Aiden and I made cheesecake for his Dad.
3. Choose a story to read together and then act it out using stuffed animals and puppets. Hold a show on the bed for the sick person.
4. Make a puzzle or board game or matching game using various art supplies. Play the game with the sick person. Aiden and I made a family portrait matching game (see post next week for instructions).
5. Take your non-sick little person out to a playground or to the mall or to a swimming pool or anywhere for that matter so that the sick person can rest in peace and quiet!
Stay healthy and don't answer the door if sickness comes knocking,
Creatively yours,
Maya :)
