Sick-and-rainy stay-in Sunday

Sundays are usually outdoor-days because a certain little person needs to expend her energy. Said little person is now recovering from throat infection so we were advised by my mum to stay in.
It was hard but the universe made it a little easier for us by giving us some rain.

Staying indoors for the entire day is torture for the little one. She is getting quite bored of the books we have at home. And the toys are less attractive now that they have been around for close to a year. Or two.

We managed to each crack our brains and came up with something to tide us through the long day. 


Imagination
J did her part and has been quite creative in pretending that the clothes rack is her playground. Well, if we can't go to the playground, we bring the playground in. It's nowhere close to being a playground but she sure had lots of fun. We had to cut short the activity because The Husband and I both feel that the clothes rack is quite light and we don't want the clothes rack falling onto J.


Invitation-to-play
A contact paper craft inspired by Let's Tot School.



It became more of an invitation to destroy at the end. And we had a little confetti fun.


Song and dance
I was at my wits end after the contact paper activity because I had no idea what else to do. Then The Husband brought in his phone with Super Simple Songs playing in the background. Lifesaver!

J is very tickled by "cookies" in this song.


And these songs are perfect to dance along to, which we did. And J got to move around like she needed to.


This is my favourite!



I guess a stay-in Sunday isn't so bad after all!
(Not really. I'll pick outdoors any day.)
