Grands coming for a visit? Scrambling for things to do? Here are some ideas for kids under 10 that work for me. Whether they come for several days, a weekend, or overnight, make a plan!!

I am on a mission to get children away from screens, devices, phones, TV, movies, and anything else that encourages them to zone out. Our children do not know how to problem solve and social skills are dwindling. Teach them how to have a conversation! What a novel idea!

These activities have been compiled from my own ideas, downloadable free PDF items that I found online, and many other things I have found that work when you hear that familiar whine, "What are we gonna do now?"

My grands love origami, folding paper airplanes, drawing, playing with clay, blocks, board games, and many other activities.
