 Target A Treat

Variety is the spice of life; and when variety is in short supply, let imagination make up the difference!

Here's a game that is easy to play and can be adapted to whatever you have on hand. Start with little prizes that kids can win. It can be anything from a piece of candy to a plastic Easter egg with a coin to a small toy.

Place prizes around the house or backyard and have kids use foam-dart blaster guns to shoot the prize once they spot it.

Or use glow stick bracelets to toss, like a ring toss. Or play in the yard using a small ball.

Indoor Camping

We might stay indoors for a while, so let’s say yes to indoor camping! Whether you’re planning an under-the-sea themed sleepover, a glitzy unicorn glamping night, an out-of-this-world camping special, or a classic teepee tent night, these cool tents have got your back. 

Make sure to pack some toys, pillows, snacks, books, and a flashlight (or glow-in-the-dark toys) for your overnight ‘camping trip’. For more excitement, try setting up the tents in various places inside the house. But if you’re up for an adventure, try camping in your backyard and sleep under the stars!

Party With Your Toys

Need some companionship? Gather your toys around and host a party for them. It can be an old fashioned tea party for toys - featuring dolls and stuffed toys - or maybe cute mini robots too - or something a little bit more elaborate with colorful decorations or a fun theme.

Or let kids switch roles from student to teacher. They can lead a class on a topic they are interested in. Bring out the globe or the Scrabble letters. Let kids read their favorite book to their toys or sing them a song. Give kids the opportunity to be in control and the hostess with the mostess!

And let’s not forget - glow parties! Add some glow elements to your toy parties with glow sticks, shutter shades, stickers, critters, and more. Use glow sticks and connectors to decorate your toy party, create glow jewelry (bracelets and necklaces), or create other cool shapes.

Organize Toys

Let kids bring out their inner Marie Kondo! If you're spending a lot of time inside, now is a great time to make your surroundings look great! Have kids practice grouping by color or size. 

Teach kids to sort their toys according to kind - for instance, keep their clay, sand, or mold toys together; shooting or target toys together; remote control cars together; cute and cuddly stuffed toys together; and so on.

Challenge them to arrange by oldest to newest toys and help them identify which ones they like the best or the least. This may even inspire them to decide to donate some of their toys to charity - just be sure to wash everything you send out.

Make a Photo Book

While all this cleaning and organizing is going on, don't forget to snap some photos. Seeing before and after photos are SO satisfying and tell a great story. Or make your own educational photo books such as learning colors, shapes and rhymes. For example, gather all toys and books of the same color and snap a photo. Now search for the next color grouping. Or set a kids drone, an ice cream cone and a phone, and take a photo of the rhyming words. You'll be left with so much to show and tell when family and friends call.
