Nah Nurse Dan those are good days too!!
I second the painting with water.... we have a wooden fence at the new house that gets painted daily!!! Then the toys get painted & it doesn't matter... Jovie paints everything & Matilda paints the brick wall. We also got from Ikea that really fat chalk & they do drawings on the cement with it.
I bake with them once a week & its messy but good fun! They love it!
* Hide n' seek
* dolly dress ups (don't know how a boy would go
)
* water fun... I fill a baby bath with lukewarm water & add maybe a drop of food colouring to it, I put cups & funnels and bath toys in and let Jovie pour until her heart is content. Often I play tea partys with it. She loves it!
* Picnic time, we set out a rug & have a picnic with morning tea outside together
* wrapping paper painting. We make our wrapping paper every year for Christmas, so I go and get some stickers and some red & green paint. I roll out heaps of butchers paper on the ground & let them paint it all... this year we will probably get some sponges and make stamps for them.
* post things... write letters and post them in boxes.
* dominos... set up a dominos train and let them knock it down... or dominos tower etc....
