Here’s a game that works in any season — whether you’re stuck indoors or need a new adventure outdoors. It’s called FIND ME! It was so easy. We took small pieces of paper — the orange ones in this photo (um, excuse me if it appears blurry!). And, while my husband Barry was sleeping, Ryan thought it would be fun… Read more »
It was one of those times where a resourceful KIDFUN idea would really help. Waiting for food at a casual restaurant, we played “Blow It.” We tore a couple pieces from the straw wrapper and blew it, literally, across the table. See the fork and spoon there? It was a channel. And — off they go! Who was going to… Read more »
I bet you look at this picture and can’t really figure it out. I’m not surprised! From the headline you probably see what we’re doing. Sari, Ryan and I are lying UNDER the dining room table. The girls put down throw pillows and afghans and it’s kinda’ their bed — EVEN when company comes! So, they said, “Grammy, come on… Read more »
What a perfect way to spend time indoors (especially if it’s a snow day like it is in our area)! It’s not just baking cookies — it’s decorating them! Yum! Here is Jessica Heisen helping Ryan (and Sari, Molly and lots more kids who came later). The first part of this project is baking sugar cookies together. If you’re like… Read more »
Ryan teaches Tube Tossing - Jan. 2014 IMG_0211 This is a KIDFUN Test — It’s a video of Ryan teaching everyone how to do a one-handed catch with a tube. (It was from a roll of fabric and it’s pretty stiff so she wants younger children to be careful.) It’s amazing — Ryan is now six and I started this… Read more »
One of my favorite things is getting in the car without knowing where we are going. Just driving around — taking unexpected turns. We live in New Jersey and on this adventure, my son-in-law did have a plan for us. It was a surprise. We drove into the Pine Barrens - this vast wooded land that takes up a large… Read more »
It’s Thanksgiving and I feel so grateful and blessed for all the wonderful people in my life! Why don’t you ask everyone — including the kids — to share one thing they appreciate and are grateful for this Thanksgiving. I know one is so hard! #1 for me is my family — I am so blessed that we are healthy… Read more »
I think I wrote about this kind of thing before — but it’s always fun to take “stuff” and make letters out of it. Look at this! Ryan took our roles of gift wrap and said, “Let’ make a K for KIDFUN, Grammy!” … Great idea! We also made a T, an F, an X — any other letter with… Read more »
As the holiday season approaches, remember that good ol’ standby — board games. They are great fun for the whole family and an “alternative” to technology! Funny to call THESE an alternative! Okay, here’s a plug for a game I’m proud to have helped develop — it’s Philly-opoly! Lots of people in our city voted on the best properties… Read more »
Ha — Funny thing about this KIDFUN! I’m writing today, on MY birthday! And the reason? To suggest that you say Happy Birthday as many different ways and as many times as you can to your birthday child! I thought of it because I remember last year when I had about 75 birthday greetings on facebook before 9 a.m…. Read more »
