Sticky Jumps is perfect for preschoolers with too much energy. Handmade stick figure cards show different jumping motions. Kiddos stomp in a circle for seven "sticky steps" then turn over a card and do what it shows! They will have a blast. (You may get a laugh or two out of it, also!)
Santa, of course. It's early, but now's the time to have your chimney flue cleaned. Summer bird nests need to be gone before that first fire (or Santa arrives, whichever comes first!).
Too much September energy? Do the Ding! Using a musical triangle (or a spoon on a sturdy glass), do the Ding! Sit on the floor or stand back up on the ding. Last one up or down is out. For a small group, tally the scores for a reward at the end.
Maybe not for you, but your kiddos can certainly snack for free. Chili's, Denny's, IHOP and more often allow little ones to eat either a free meal or a free item. It's sometimes on certain days, so check ahead and enjoy!
Preempt winter. Call your furnace guy now. It's still the slow season for winter, and your furnace will be up and ready for the first snow!
