I often feel that way in the mornings when I turn over and look at the time on the alarm clock. No the alarm does not wake me up but the faces of either one or both of my boys does. Snuggles are usually all I need to jump right out of bed most mornings. But, I often notice that the weekends are typically harder for me to wake up. It may have a lot to do with my husband sleeping beside me. Anyways, our solution for providing entertainment for the boys is by setting up our kitchen table as a creating table. Here they are free to create masterpieces at their own whime. The table can really contain anything you feel comfortable being used. Our table usually consist of paper, markers, watercolors( with a cup of water)and playdoh. This will keep them busy for a great amount of time to allow me to stretch and get ready for the day.
Some other cool things you can add for those who maybe worried about about walking into the kitchen to a
mess gallery on their walls. You can grab those
Crayola color wonder markers and paper for the added assurance that these markers solely work on the specified paper. I would however stay clear from the color wonder paints, as those are extremely easy to use to smear on everything.
Some other fun things you can include are:
pipe cleaners
leaves
rocks( pet rocks are all the rage in our home)
chalk with black paper
the possiblities are endless. Oh and try to mix it up to keep it fresh and new!
Happy creations!!
With Love,
Nush
