Tonights Show- Fun Fun!

on-the-go fun from your purse...

keep 'em busy with a tissue

* what's in here? wrap a tissue around a small object from your purse--a key, a lipstick---and see if you child can guess what it is from shape alone.
* costume contest--Punch out a couple of eyeholes to turn you tissue into a mask. While your child gets his imagination in gear, you can guess what he is----a lion? a robber?
* a lot of hot air---Wad up a tissue and let you kid see how far she can blow it across a table. Then crumple up another one and make it a race.
* we have liftoff---Use your tissue as a trampoline to launch smaller objects, like a mint or a penny, into the air and catch them again.

keep 'em busy with a mirror

*fog machine--Breathe on a pocket mirror to steam it up, then use your finger to draw a shape or a letter. Once your child ID's it, give him a turn.


* good day, sunshine--If you're outside or near a window, show your child how to reflect sunlight onto a nearby tree or the ground. By wiggling her hand, she can make the light dance.

Fun Bubble Play!

We had a great time blowing bubbles with the help of Autumn, and Family Fun magazine. Using an empty water bottle, cut out the bottom and rubber band a wet washcloth to it. Dip the cloth in dish soap and blow on the bottle. This is what you get!
