Can’t Hardly Wait

Posted on June 3, 2020June 3, 2020 by ourvirtualholiday

Young children think that a new sibling is a gift that they are getting. They can’t wait to meet them, play with them and teach them all the cool things about being human. Letting them create a welcome mural on your belly will go a long way to helping them connect. If you think this idea is fun now, then just imagine if you do it around Halloween.

Society Balls

If a snowball fight is fun then an indoor snowball fight has to be twice as fun. The snowballs are made of materials that are not only soft when they hit you but also won’t destroy valuables and furniture in your home. Winter and all the holidays that come with it are a natural for your family to have an indoor snowball fight but they can also transform any ordinary day into an extraordinary day all year long. Indoor snowball fights can also be a useful tool in the parental arsenal as a fun way to settle, distract from, and calm sibling disputes.
A container or two of indoor snowballs make a great gift but also can be stashed away for rainy day fun.

Kids: Tips & Activities

Remote Control

Posted on May 16, 2020May 16, 2020 by ourvirtualholiday

Control your child with a remote control? This is a crazy fun activity with or without the action costume. Make all your gestures extra big and announce every button. The fun really begins when you press slow motion, Super-slow Motion and Rewind. Other fun buttons include Zoom in, Volume Control and Pause but we’re guessing that your favorite will be the Mute button.

Advanced play can include the ability to change channels and therefore change the characters and actions including commercials. Check out a few foreign language channels while your at it.

Remember that turn about is fair play so give your kids a chance to control you with the remote. You’ll be surprised at how this will become a great running joke in the family anytime someone picks up a remote,
