Guest Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 hi, i`m in need of some indoor activites for a varied age range(1.5 to 8). mainly to keep the boys from bouncing off the walls! we raided asda for ten cardboard boxes today but i don`t think they will last all week. ithought about a easter egg hunt tomorrow, i just need something that i haven`t done with them before! i really hope it stops raining soon! thanks maddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Why not cut up pictures of card into egg shapes,hide one of each in the garden/house and then give each child one half and they have to find the other.Have some mini eggs to give to each child .Great fun.

bubblejack Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Get the older ones to blow the insides out of an egg. You make a hole at each end of end. The smaller the hole the longer it takes to do. Wash the insides out. Melt chocolate in a jug using warm water in the outer bowl or cheat and use the microwave. Make a paper funnel let them pour in the chocolate. Takes quite a bit of chocolate. You can use marg to make it go further when you melt. Decorate the eggs with paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddleducks Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Treasure Hunts, Scavenger Hunts Alphabet hunts - find 10 things beggining with A A survey... challenge them to find out how many cars, buses and colours ect that go down your road, predict which will be most and sned them outside to count or from the window Walk to the library and borrow a video/dvd Make a board game... draw out the board... colour it.. make counters etc. Lego/hamma beads.... Giant piece of paper... wall paper and ask them to design a map... treasure mao, road map, space... Design a space landscape with card and papermaiche... add space men, aliens, rockets... loads of junk modelling potential! Cooking - ask them what they want to do... and let them do it... your role to supervise the older ones! Role play cafe.... or McDonalds... older ones the chef!! Links with above!
