download There’s a Stranger in my House With winter weather effecting much of the country, children are often indoors playing during recess and at home. By this time of year, a lot of children can grow bored of the same toys they have available to them and complain “There’s nothing to do!” With today’s economy, making sound choices in toy buying is important. Instead of going out and buying the latest toy, consider buying “classic toys” or recycling old toys that will last. Hopefully, recess or play at home can be more fun and exciting without breaking the bank!
- Consider what your child already has. Often, children will play with a certain set of toys on a daily basis and forget about last year’s action figures, dolls, or cars. Try going through the toy box to see if there are lost and forgotten toys that have a new appeal to them!
- Pull out the “classic” toys! Toys like blocks, dolls, and cars are toys children continue to enjoy as they get older. It’s a great investment because these toys offer children a blank slate to work with so that will not lose their allure too quickly!
- Offer some encouragement! If a child is “bored” playing, try giving them some ideas to work with like “I wonder who can build the tallest tower?” or “Let’s throw a birthday party for dolly” to get them started and let them take over from there!
- Change the setting! Something as simple as building a fort with sheets can add a new element to the play environment that could help engage the child in play!
- Recycle summer toys in the winter! Bringing outdoor playhouses inside or using sand toys to play in the snow are some ways to deal with the winter blues.
