I'm a little late, I know, but just "refound" your blog. We use Matchbox diggers and dump trucks in playdoh to make roads and dumps and construction sites. My older son (4) will spend hours making lego "robots" and then building block forts for them to live in. We lay out a vinyl tablecloth on the floor and I pull out a bin of "play rice". Each boy gets a long, flat plastic container full or rice, a scoop or ladle, a plastic yogurt container, and anything else we can think of (funnels, spoons, measuring cups) to transfer rice back and forth between bins. We have also hid miniature dinosaurs in the rice to excavate with spoons and paintbrushes or used our Matchbox construction toys to push the rice around, too. The important rule for this one is that you can't dump the rice off the tablecloth or it all goes away immediately. jill’s last blog post..Haircut

@Nicole, yes! Homemade playdough people! Had not thought of this, but that is fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing! Megan’s last blog post..The “Unsung” Favorites of Children’s Literature

@Sandra @ {mum space}, So far my girls aren't as in to dress-up play as I would hope they would be. Maybe they will grow into it, though. I am loving the butcher paper creation idea. Megan’s last blog post..The “Unsung” Favorites of Children’s Literature

@Tsh, That is Dacey exactly. Just some art supplies and little quiet time while AJ is napping and she is totally content to create. Megan’s last blog post..The “Unsung” Favorites of Children’s Literature

@Kristi_runwatch, this is a great idea, too. I guess we haven't gotten to the board game phase yet because it does seem too complicated for my 4 year old. Modifications, however, would be a great help! Megan’s last blog post..The “Unsung” Favorites of Children’s Literature

@Jenn @ Beautiful Calling, @kyrie – baking and forts sound like my kind of day. we’ve had SO MUCH rain that there’s no telling how much weight I would gain from consuming all the baked goods.
