DS is in a lovely mood today... any tips??

[BertieBotts]

First order of the afternoon is trying to get some food into him, but after that?

What are your best activities when they're all hyped up? Preferably not involving leaving the house (please!!)

Oh, he's 4.

Whats the weather like ? Puddle jumping if its wet, or swimming.

go to the park
swimming
soft play area

Ah sorry not leaving the house, in that case a long splash in the bath, lots of toys and nursery rhymes.

Indoor obstacle course?

I would build a den over the table ( so he can go underneath)

Would he like the idea of you having a bath together? You can chill with a magazine and he can play with boats

Bake some sausage rolls/ mince pies/ Xmas cookies

Make snowflakes/ decorations/ salt dough

Swimming isn't too bad an idea actually.. wouldn't seem so wet going out if we went swimming.

dancing - to toddler CDs / nursery rhymes on youtube.

1 finger, 1 thumb etc.

hide and seek "ooh you hide under the cover daddy and I'll come and find you...."

Exercise bike if you have one!

Failing that a timed lap of the house, maybe put an item in every room and see how fast he can collect them?
