By far our favorite was building a fort. We used several sheets and blankets and took up the entire living room for a morning. Sleeping bags, a homemad "fire" pit, yummy snacks and sleeping bags for big girls and little ones :)

Thanks for all the great ideas!!

Thanks!
Lisa

It's hard to pick a favorite because so many of them have been huge hits. The play dough and mega doodles have been asked for repeatedly by my kids, but I think I (personally) loved the Act out a story activity most.

Even though I'm late joining the challenge, I want to get in all the entries I can. We are just starting the challenge. I have enjoyed readying about many of the challenges by browsing older posts. The only challenge I've participated in so far is the day 1 challenge but I really did enjoy thinking through what my little guy enjoys and what he is good at doing. I will kepp it where I can remind myself. Since Jack does not try new things easily, I will keep my list of what he likes at the ready so I can mix the new and the old to make a smoother transition.
