When your day is crammed with too much to do and your kids are looking for some attention take a break and spend some time playing together. Everything will go smoother and you will create a memory making experience.
This might be a perfect time to pull out a new adventure playset you have tucked away in the closet for just such an occasion. Kids who are beginning to show an interest in space would enjoy some new space themed childrens learning toys.
Exploring our Galaxy will be fun with a Zoom to the Moon playset that includes wooden figures of aliens, animals and even a spaceship. Then you could make a stop at the library and check out some new books to read together.
Another idea is to search the Internet for coloring pages about space and spaceships. Plan a day of space-fun and arrange to throw an outer space themed party including recipes and crafts.
