30 Cheap and Easy Indoor Activity Ideas To Keep Your Kids Busy

Paint with Clothespins & Pom-Poms: This activity is fun and easy to create. Grab some clothespins, pom-poms, paint, and a piece of paper.

Toy Review: PicassoTiles Bounce House

Mom! Watch me do my leap! Now watch this! For Hazel this bounce house is everything. I mean, can you imagine being a kid again and having your own bounce house, in your house? Back for Hazel’s third birthday, we considered renting a bounce house for her, but quickly changed our minds when we realized that we could purchase one for the same price!  It’s seriously been the best idea yet! Hazel loves jumping around in this bounce house, she loves leaping and playing around with her friends. We especially love how easy it is… Read More
