Ten Minute Shake up: Disney

After a day of rain and stuck in the house it was time to get outside. Dylan loves playing with his toys indoors and often needs persuading to go outside. 

I have noticed adverts about the 10 minute shake up on TV and thought we could do that.

So we made a game up that we called Disney Dice Races. We got two objects to represent start/finish and turn around point. We also had a dice and then came up with 6 possible actions to do for the run. 

1. Planes- arms out like a plane

2. Cars- steering like a car

3. Toystory- Woody riding on a horse

4. Toystory- Buzz shooting his laser

5. Monsters inc- roaring and moving like a monster

6. Tigger- bouncing 

I didn't manage to get many photos as my battery died but I know we will do it again and the actions are fairly simple plus your child may adapt them .

I would love to here of anyone else's ideas for ten minute shake up!

Superhero Lego Memory Game

This is a very simple memory game involving my son's favourite toys at the moment Lego!

We used the tub with separate compartments and a lid. so that he could visualise where they were and I could put the lid down when I removed a figure to avoid him seeing by accident.

Outdoor chalk family portrait

We went on a chalk walk and found a spot to draw. My 4 year old decided to draw the family . 

He was very proud of himself.

Another pic for the wall.

Chalking Mad

The other day we visited our local Sima warehouse and came across a pack of huge chalk . So today I thought lets blog hop and find ideas. 

I've just remembered brick dominoes 

So we started off just free styling on the drive and Dylan drew a maze , Zac scribbled over the shapes we drew.

Dylan's maze (zac called a ladder)

Then I drew a hopscotch grid and we played that. ( not neat on the blocks but was ok)

Then I got them to squirt trace the numbers .

Then the paint brushes came out.

And next the scrubbing brush.

We tried a maze but it was too bumpy. 

So we made a brick road.

So we drew a few white lines to look like a road.

Then came brick vehicles

A bus.

I made a rainbow brick but Dylan was still hooked on the road .

Zac started to match up colours then he rubbed it and coloured over it .

The easel wasn't a huge hit.

The chalk bodies on the shed was though.

I drew the outline and they added features.

Could get one together but the shed now looks like this ,,,

Finally the trampoline . I wrote nimbers and drew shapes and they had to Boyce on the one I said.

Then the drawing and name writing .

Then we had lunch . Not sure if we will be doing anymore today!
