I have a love/hate relationship with Sundays. I love that it's a "day of rest" and that I get to lounge around the house after church and spend the day with Wade and our families. On the other hand I sometimes dread Sundays (especially cold ones) because Wells is cooped up in the house all day and we can't make our daily trips to the Dinosaur Museum, Cabbala's, the library, or the store. He get's so bored of our boring Sundays, that I decided to make him a new toy to entertain him for all of 20 minutes (it was a fun 20 minutes though). I just took an empty cereal box and cut an X in the side of it and made sure both ends were closed. It looked a little something like this.
Then I gave him some plastic spoons and taught him how to put the spoons in the box and how to stick his hand in the opening to retrieve the spoons :) He did actually have a lot of fun with this simple, easy concept.
He's concentrating so hard on getting the spoon in the box his little tongue is sticking out!
He then figured out how to open the top of the box. He had so much fun sticking the spoons in the NEW way that he played this way for almost longer than the side way. He even stuck his entire head in the box.
He reminds me of a little bear foraging through a camp ground...
We actually had a lot of fun with a box and some spoons. I think I'll try and come up with something new and challenging for him every boring Sunday from now on. I'll keep you posted on how our next adventure pans out.
