After this it gets less boring, dont worry. I say enjoy the peace and quiet of kiddo being a potato right now.

My baby was a roller. He rolled way before he crawled haha. He would roll toward whatever was most dangerous in the room, sit up and start digging in. Houseplants? Outlets? Pulling books off the shelf? Haha

It is much more fun and amazing the more interactive they are, it only gets better. But sometimes I definitely missed boredom, haha

Remember when the ontario government spent millions on updating the sex ed program to be more inclusive (and include new information about online safety). But because some provincial conservative party members didn’t like the new sexual orientation/gender education Ford ditched the new program in favour of the 1998 guidelines?

Thank you so much for the long detailed list! These are great ideas! I was hoping to get a discussion going where everyone chimes in with activity ideas, all ages. Anything!! Helping each other out with ideas to prevent summer cabin fever haha

Here are a few things not on the list:

-papercrafting: we have been printing out papercraft train patterns and other objects (buildings etc). Combine that with construction paper and cardboard, weve been making all kinds of stuff. Video game levels, train stations, an animal crossing island, etc.

-polymer clay: we bought a big multicolour kit on the internet (no name brand) and its been lots of fun

-obstacle courses at the park

-picnics - we got a heavy duty picnic blanket, and found a park nearby that has nice shady spots. We go there with a picnic lunch, books, gameboys and spend long stretches (if its not too hot)

-trying to learn how to sew, I sew a lot so I have lots of fabric. Ive been cutting out shapes for puppets and simple stuffies, but Ive seen some excellent craft kits around with precut shapes/stuffing that would be great too.

-indoor camp out sleepover, we have a pop-up tent that we set up in the living room since it doesnt need staking. Maybe less fun for older kids but my son enjoys it :)
