Quick Play Ideas

Quick play ideas

You may be filled with dread at the thought of doing any play ideas which involve paint and glue. On a day off from work with little time to fit everything in it is not always my idea of fun. That’s why I am keen to share some ideas for quick play. Honestly all of these activities took me minutes to throw together but can keep a young child amused for ages. You don’t need to be artistic to create quick play ideas, or have a lot of time on your hands, just some imagination and whatever you have knocking about the house or garden can easily be made into something fun and entertaining.

An old pot with holes and some cotton wool buds. Great for eye and hand 14390628_565825003620407_3555157453960750875_ncoordination and you could put colours on them for colour coordination.

A selection of very basic play, for babies or young children. Pasta play, drumming on anything and everything, and colander play with toys or straws.12644944_485977094938532_2083212507664828885_n

    Some brilliant ideas! I accidentally dropped a pot of cocktail sticks on the floor the other day. My two year old loved putting them all back in again. Saved me a job and kept her occupied. Bingo!
