Ten Reasons to Buy 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids

• There aren’t  just one or two great activities in this book. JDaniel and I struggled to pick which one to do first when we got the book in the mail. We will probably end up doing each of them.
• Many of the recipes in the activities are corn free, gluten free, dairy free, nut free, egg free, and soy free. Children with allergies won’t have to be excluded from joining into the fun.
• The activities are open ended and invite children to tap into their imagination and create while doing them.
• You have many of the ingredients needed for the recipes and activities at home already. The ones you don’t have won’t be very expensive to purchase.

• Many of the recipes are edible and child safe like the edible banana play dough. (There are thirteen dough recipes in this book.)
• These activities will leave kids of all ages wanting to do them again and again.
• This is more than just a recipe book. It shares eighteen do it yourself toys and play mats. They make you wonder why you didn’t think of them and rejoice that Asia did. The giant lacing box and hatching egg bath bombs are favorites of mine.
• You will have ten amazing go to ideas for sensory bin fillers.  The book shares how to create miniature water beads and colored salt. We will be exploring both of them.
• The chapter on small worlds will show you how to create play lands for your kids. My son has loved the lands we  have created. They inspired great discussions and storytelling at my house. Small worlds are also great ways to introduce you children to various textures too.
• If you host a playgroup, teach in an early childhood classroom, or have children that you want to open avenues of play and adventure to, all you will need to do is open this book to any page and you will have something fun to do.

Minecraft Creeper Craft

JDaniel is into Minecraft so, we created  Minecraft Creeper from it using the directions for baked cotton balls in 150+ Screen Free Activities for Kids.

We worked together as a team at the kitchen table. JDaniel would add one colored cotton ball and then I would add one.

It was messy and a little drippy, but we had such a good time putting it together.

I hope you will consider adding 150+ Screen-Free Activities for Kids: The Very Best and Easiest Playtime Activities from FunAtHomeWithKids.com! to you home library or giving it as a holiday gift. If you are outside the U.S. you may want to check out the  Book Depository.
