O Pinterest se tornou um grande aliado meu, pois estou me inspirando bastante com atividades para entreter as host kids. A gente sabe que fazer a mesma coisa todos os dias pode deixar os pequenos bem entediados, então queria compartilhar com vocês algumas ideias legais que eu encontrei.
Eu vou deixar o post em inglês mesmo porque se vocês são au pairs, com certeza vão entender ou vão praticar o inglês de vocês. ;)

1. Hot out? Go to the mall and do some window shopping.
2. Play Hospital. Let the kids be the doctor and fix you up.
3. Bake something – for your neighbors. Muffins, cookies, and cupcakes, oh my!
4. Visit the library for story time (younger kids) or movie night (older kids).
5. Put on a play or direct a movie. Have the kids write the script and you can video tape them.
6. Play cards – make up your own card game, or play games like Old Maid.
7. Create your own play-doh.
8. Hike trails at a local park.
9. Play dress-up. Yes, you too, Mom!
10. Camp out in the back yard!
11. Cook together – let the kids pick the recipe.
12. “Adopt” a grandparent from a nursing home. Visit them, make them cards, etc.
13. Wash the car, then have a water fight!
14. Ride bikes.
15. Make holiday and birthday gifts or cards and store them away for that special occasion.
16. Take a bus. In our area, the Metro is only like $3 but because we have a vehicle we’ve never used it. I smell an adventure coming on!
17. Go for a nature walk and collect leaves. Come home and do leaf rubbings.
18. Play restaurant.
19. Make hair accessories.
20. Put on a concert.
21. Set up a lemonade stand.
22. Have a movie night – at home! Hit up the Red Box and get some microwavable popcorn.
23. Near the coast? Head to the beach and build a sand castle together.
24. Look up Urban Legends in your area and visit a ‘haunted’ house.
25. Make tye-dye t-shirts.
26. Raining? Who cares! Get out and splash around.
27. Find a penpal. Swap-bot.com and other similar sites offer this for free.
28. Start a blog.
29. Learn how to say “I love you” in another language.
30. Write a story, but do it together. Have one kid write the first paragraph, then another writes the second, and keep going until you have a real story put together.
