YOUR PRESCHOOLER
As the old saying goes, “Time flies when you're having fun,” so fill up the long hours of the weekends and spare time with these cheap home-based activities. Not only will they keep your kids happy and busy, they'll also keep you sane(r).
1. Build a fort (with old blankets) or pitch a tent. (We're sure you have one lying around from your single camping days?) These bring such novelty to playing, and you'll see how new life is brought to all of your kids' toys once they're painstakingly taken – one by one – into their new “house”. And if the weather allows, consider pitching the tent in the garden.
