We Play: For Fresh, Fun, Family Play Ideas

Inspired by an episode of Playschool last week, Immy and her Grandma got busy doing what Immy loves best…making! They made a simple paper bag kite and two tails – a cat stocking tail and a woollen horse tail (the cat is the favourite so far and I have been unable to snap a decent picture of the horse tail – this girl moves fast).
There has been lots of swishing and swirling of the kite and preening and purring of the pussy cat tail…

What have you been playing this week?

    It's often the simple (free) things that kids have the most fun with! This week w have been playing cars with some left over boxes. We recently made a car play track as a gift and Grace has been keen on racing cars ever since! I am writing about it this afternoon on my blog and will link back to yours!

    That looks like a fund way to have some free play outside.
