Banishing that Bad Weather Boredom

Rain, rain, go away! Or snow as the case may be. What do you do when the weather outside is less than inviting and your little ones are bored, bored, bored Mom and Dad?! Well, no need to fret because we’ve got a couple of really great solutions for this very common dilemma.

Activity Table to the Rescue!

Activity tables are wonderful way to keep the kids entertained indoors and depending on which type you choose, the fun can last for hours and hours. There is a really cool activity table that is available online and is not only fun, but educational as well. It actually depicts an entire mini-village equipped with its very own train! This train table is made of easy-to-assemble, sturdy wood and comes with 120 brightly colored play pieces. Your kids will enjoy hours of endless amusement as they use their imaginations to explore different ‘designs’ and set up their very own town. Outfitted with street signs and buildings that can be placed all around the train tracks, roads, lakes and even a rocky mountain, there are also cars, trucks and people to play with. And another great feature is that everything stores neatly and conveniently away in three accessible storage drawers that slide right underneath the activity table. So tell the kids to get ready to take a scenic ride under the bridges and through the crossings on this wonderfully-designed train table – choo choo, comin’ through! And after the train pulls into the station for the day, the activity table top can be flipped over and used as a place to draw, color, make crafts or play board games.

Inspiration for Your Little Artist

Another great way to not only keep them entertained indoors, but also get those creative juices flowing is with an art easel. And with so many varieties to choose from, your kids can discover all kinds of different ways to utilize their art easel from painting and drawing to learning as they to ‘play’ school or display picture books for hosting story time. Two-sided, wooden easels in a natural finish are traditionally designed and come equipped with a chalkboard on one side and art paper on the other. Or choose from a brightly colored, sturdy wooden or plastic version that incorporates a dry erase board on one side and a supply of art paper on the other. These art easels are designed with kids in mind at child-friendly heights for ease of use and most are even equipped with storage compartments to keep all of their paints, brushes, chalk, crayons and markers organized and right on hand. Another accommodating aspect of these double-sided art easels is that two or more can ‘create’ at once. Prepare yourself for the many masterpieces to come as your little artists become inspired with their very own art easel!

Jump into Some Healthy Fun

It’s no secret that kids love to bounce. But what you might not know is that bouncing is actually an excellent way of exercising too. Jumping up and down is not only great for strengthening the cardio-vascular system, but it’s also an awesome workout for almost every muscle and organ in the body. It also helps kids improve their reflexes, flexibility, balance and coordination. So if you’re looking for ways to get the kids to stop jumping on the beds or furniture in your house, consider one of these jumping toys available online.

Pogo Sticks

Pogo sticks have been around for decades, and they are still very popular today as well. They’re not only fun, but also a great source of exercise and a way for your kids to learn balance and coordination skills.

Even kids as young as 3-years-old can enjoy these jumping toys on a pogo stick fashioned to look like a pony! Recommended for kids up to 5-years-old and equipped with non-slip foot pegs and hand grips, this style of pogo stick also has a cute, plush pony head with ears that make life-like horsey sounds when your child squeezes them! For the ‘older’ crowd, 5 to 9 and up, the ‘more mature’ models include the same type of non-skid foot pegs and hand grips and come in lots of cool colors and designs. Keep in mind that no matter what age your kids are, if they’re using a pogo stick, they should be wearing a helmet. It’s just a preventative measure to avoid any injuries when those inevitable spills occur, especially when they’re just learning how to use these fun and health-wise jumping toys.

Trampolines

There are great trampolines on the market that specially designed for younger kids and can be used indoors as well as outside. One model even folds up for easy storage when it’s not in use.

Bouncers

Bouncers come in a lot of different styles and designs and like the pogo stick or trampoline, are also an excellent way to incorporate some exercise into your little one’s day. Inflatable jumping toys are available in all sorts of shapes including one that looks like a castle! A ‘jungle gym’ inflatable bouncer offers hours of activity with it’s bouncy center and cut out ‘windows’ on the side for crawling through and climbing too.

Functionality + Personality = Dynamic Design!

Just like adults, kids need a place to keep all of their ‘important’ papers and writing supplies too. Note pads, stickers, pencils, and more can all have a place of their own, in your child’s new desk. And by shopping online, you’ll find a wide assortment of functional and creative styles to choose from including child desks that are designed to accommodate computers as well. Let’s take a look at a few of them.

Sound the Alarm!

Any little boy would be thrilled with a desk that looks like a fire engine. The front of the ‘engine’ pulls out and becomes a bench that also has a convenient storage area under the seat. The desk itself is a place to work on homework, art projects and other activities. It comes equipped with a 12’ roll of paper with plenty of spaces incorporated to keep all of his supplies organized and conveniently on hand. There’s also a school bus desk fashioned in the same style. Or for another twist on the fireman theme, there’s a fire station desk with matching chair. Designed with plenty of open shelving for storing books, pencil cups and more, the top of the desk is very durable with a street design printed on it so that when he’s done working, he can ‘drive’ his cars and trucks around on it!

Pretty in Pink

Child desks for little girls include a pretty pink and white piece built of sturdy wood. This desk also doubles as an art station and includes a roll of paper and a kid-friendly cutter.

Livening Up Learning!

Childhood is a certainly a time of excitement and fun as your little ones imagine and play throughout the days. But as you know, it’s also a time of learning as they grow. Child puzzles and games are just some of educational toys that can help your children develop their minds while learning about shapes, colors, counting and much more. And learning toys come in all shapes and sizes, just like children do. So with that in mind, we’d like to offer you information and descriptions about some of the many wonderful educational toys that are available online.

Nothing Puzzling About these Designs

Child puzzles and games are not only a great way to help your kids develop their hand-eye coordination skills as they place each shape into the correct cut out space, but puzzles can also help with expanding their vocabulary too. As they place each piece into the appropriate area, you can teach them the name of each animal, color or shape by having them repeat it back to you as they fit the pieces together. Child puzzles are truly one long-standing tradition of learning that will never go out of style.

The Cow says Mooooooooo

A brightly-colored, 9-piece wooden farm puzzle is designed to help tiny hands grasp the shapes with little knobs attached to the pieces – what a great idea! A cow, momma duck with ducklings, farmer on his tractor and a big red barn are just a few of the cute images that come with this child puzzle design, perfect for little ones ages 1 1/2 through 3. And while they’re at it, you can teach them the different sounds each animal makes for even more fun and learning.

Vrooooooooom Vroooooooooom!

Along the same lines as the barnyard child puzzle, there are also versions with vehicles like cars and trucks and another in the transportation theme that includes pieces colored and shaped like airplanes, buses, bicycles and more!

Give them a Hand

Another really cute child puzzle and game is one designed for kids 2 through 5 and is not only a great educational toy for teaching them how to count, but also for the difference between left and right. Twenty-two brightly colored wooden pieces make up two hands (left and right) with 10 detached fingers in addition to the numbers 1 through 10.

The Road to Learning

An excellent learning toy for kids who are ready to study their ABCs is one of the vibrantly colored child puzzles and games that help teach them the alphabet. And, as they progress on their journey from A to Z, they’ll also learn about things that begin with each letter!

Remember This…

Matching games are another great learning toy that teach children how to recognize objects that look the same while developing their memory skills. Available in different designs to teach them about math, shapes, patterns and more, these are educational toys that they’ll really enjoy.

The Fairest in the Land…

Girls in particular are known to spend quite a bit of time in front of the mirror – granted some more than others – and little girls are no exception. So for that special age when fantasy and make-believe play such a big role in their imaginations, why not indulge her a little with a charming vanity set of her very own? Any little girl would adore one of the many vanity sets available online as she grooms and admires herself along with her friends as they play dress-up or get ready for a day out ‘on the town’.

Lovely in Lavender

A lovely vanity set in lavender, pink and yellow that includes a very pretty stand decorated with artist-inspired images of dresses, hats and lipstick and further accompanied by an oval mirror and matching stool, is the perfect place for your little one to sit and style awhile. Equipped with drawers for keeping all of her favorite barrettes, brushes and accessories, she’ll have everything thing she needs to (further) beautify herself!

I’m Ready for My Close-Up!

For a touch of Hollywood glamour in your little girl’s room, consider a chic vanity set in black framework with a removable fuchsia, satin skirt on both the table and stool. ‘Marquee’ lighting (images) around the mirror, in addition to a contrast of pink hearts and white and pink deco striping on the table and chair, complete this vanity set’s stunning style. The table that includes two spots on either side of the mirror to keep her special trinkets in and another musical jewelry box as well, will ideally set the ‘scene’ for any little actress!

Simplicity Meets Femininity

For the girly-girl in your little one, a perfect choice might be a Victorian-style vanity set finely crafted and decorated with dainty filigree and rosebud designs. A wooden table and chair painted in white and blue with pink and blue detail, includes a round plexi-glass mirror with a large drawer in the center of the stand and two additional shelves to display her priceless possessions.

Someday, My Prince will Come…

Any little princess will love a wooden vanity set decorated in pretty pink with gold detailing. The table includes a tri-view, plexi-glass mirror adorned with a gold crown, a gold crown-shaped knob on the center drawer and plenty of space on top for her ‘royal’ treasures. The soft, pink cushioned seat is adorable and will provide a very comfortable spot for her highness to spend as much time as she likes day-dreaming about her fairy-tale prince.

Another choice for ‘Her Majesty’ is a beautiful vanity set in cream, pink and purple and detailed with gold and lavender filigree. A purple, heart-shaped mirror with crown atop, compliments the purple, heart-shaped cushion on back the chair as well as the purple cushion on the seat itself that is adorned with gold tassel ties. Two lavender boxes on the top of the vanity table open with pink, heart-shaped knobs and will keep all her precious trinkets safe and conveniently accessible.

MyChildPlayhouses has all of these vanity sets and more available for your purchase and viewing pleasure.

Sweet Dreams and More…

You probably have enough to accomplish during the day without needing to struggle with your kids to go down for a nap or even their night’s sleep. One solution for a child who doesn’t agree with the concept of taking an afternoon nap or even laying down for his or her nightly journey to dreamland might bode well in one of these uniquely crafted beds and tents. Because by creating a more adventurous atmosphere, it could really help both you and them get a better night’s sleep.

Lullaby and Goodnight

You should have no problem getting your fairy princess to climb into a bed that is surrounded by a soft and shimmery white sheer canopy. Embellished with pink and purple jewels in addition to beautiful embroidery, it fits around the head of your little one’s bed and drapes around as she is lulled off to sleep and wondrous dreams.

Another option especially designed for a royal toddler is a pretty, pink four-poster princess bed styled with gold crowns for finials. Equipped with bed rails and a head and footboard that are also adorned with gold crowns, you can easily turn her bedroom into her very own, personal palace. Now what little girl wouldn’t love going to sleep in a bed like that?

And what little boy wouldn’t be thrilled to jump into his very own fire truck bed? With ladders on either side that double as bed rails, it’s decorated mainly in red, with blue, yellow and ‘steel’ gray accents which include detailing similar to a real fire truck. And as an added bonus for you, there is special storage spot in the front of the ‘truck’ to keep his PJs, sheets or extra blankets!

Anticipating Eagerness at Bedtime

Beds and tents can become one in the same with just a little imagination. By creating a space that is not only inviting, but exciting as well, your kids might be a little more enthusiastic about going to bed. You probably wouldn’t want your children to sleep in a tent every night, but aside from utilizing it as a ‘special’ sleep spot, they’ll also get hours of enjoyment out it as a play area as well, so it’s really an item that will work double-duty.

From traveling to distant lands in safari-style to a lunar landing in a space tube tent or even a pow-wow inside a tee-pee, your little ones will be eager to settle down for their afternoon nap or bedtime as they sleepily begin to imagine dreams of new and exciting places and adventures. There are also tents designed to look like a celebrity dressing room, train stations and fire houses! A portable mattress or sleeping bag along with their favorite stuffed animal and pillow will create a space perfect for both sleeping and playing for a long time to come.
