Gentle Christian Mothers Community - View Single Post - Big energy outlets for when you can't leave the house

What a great thread! We're inside most of the time due to the extreme weather here in the faroes...and its not only in the winter

after the first year here, I decided that home would be an indoor playground, as much as it could be....

we have a small slide in our livingroom & the kids are using it everyday...its great
we have a very spacious hallway between the LR & BR's with a swing and bikes...they're only indoor scooter type bikes, they dont go outside so we let the kids ride them all over the house
we love just putting on music and dancing...then the camera usually comes out and the kids (at least dd) start "acting"

our bed is a queen and a twin mattress on the floor (no frame), so the kids love to be tossed on the mattress...like swinging them "1, 2, 3!" and then toss the kid

they also just like to somersault and jump on our bed
they have a bowling set, and bean bags that are fun and active to play with
and....Im seriously considering some kind of climbing thing for the hallway (where the swing is)

trampoline sounds fun too!

Ive been thinking about making some kind of oversize hopscotch squares somewhere...maybe using colored tape in the hall or something
