[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and TESO Life (they just opened a location in Centreville! It's fabulous!) have an enormous number of crafty things to make or do.

Also, thrift stores will have games/toys/crafts/books. And the library is probably going to be open as late as Saturday morning.

Hoverboard and/or pogo hopper.

Do they do puzzles? (Mine went off them years ago and I still have a shelf full, unfortunately.)

Get a sled, have them build snow forts/snow men, make snow cream (mine have already been talking about the latter and we've laid in an extra quart of heavy cream for the purpose.)

How many kids do you have and if more than one, what do they do together? One of mine likes to organize her siblings to produce their own short plays. Sometimes they'll play board or card games together, too.

Not Hobby Lobby ever! For god's sake who the hell shops at the place litigating the removal of all civil rights for women!

Benefit of low screentime family is that also I can declare e.g. a Movie Time if I am absolutely desperate for quiet, and this can be stretched out with pre-activities that they can get on with in relative silence -- 10yo, you make popcorn, 12yo, make cookies for afterwards, 8yo, get things cleaned up.[/quote][/quote]
