Fabric and Button Tic-Tac-Toe GameHere's a simple little version of the popular game of tic tac toe, also known as noughts and crosses. Of course you can always play this at any time with just a pen and paper, but this pocket game is pretty and fun to carry around. I have used floral fabric.
Holiday Pathway Board GameThere are certain holidays that are so exciting for children. On Valentine's Day, there are numerous cards and special treats. Easter has the Easter bunny and egg hunts. Halloween brings trick-or-treating, costumes, and tons of candy. Extend that fun and create more family time by playing board games!
Perler Bead Tic-Tac-ToeThis tic-tac-toe game, made completely out of peeler beads, is fun and easy to make and play with. It also makes a great present. It is a great rainy day activity and the best part is that you can be really creative while making it. I hope that you enjoy making it.
Making a Seek SackThis sort of thing is also called an I Spy Bag or a Peek-A-Boo Bag, but I call them Seek Sacks. I'm a sucker for alliteration. Anyway, this is a sort of solitaire hide-and-seek game involving a bag with a clear window, some sort of neutrally colored filler, and small tokens, toys, or other items.
Mini Fishing GameThis mini fishing game is a perfect activity to entertain little kids. The best part is that it is so small, it can go anywhere with you!
Felt Fishing GameMy 11 year-old son asked me to help him make this for his little brother's Christmas present. It was a huge hit! My 6 year-old loves his fishing set and our 3 cats were utterly delighted.
Homemade Fishing GameFor almost no cost, you can make a fun gift for young kids. I've seen this idea all over the internet and came up with my own version.
