I am definitely of the opinion that children can have fun without too much fuss! So today, I’d love to share some simple kids’ activities that include 3 items or less! Many great ideas were shared at last week’s Stress-Free Sunday, but I wanted to focus on those with the easiest prep time today. Without further ado . . .
Below are kids’ activities from last week’s link up. Each of them has 3 “ingredients” or less to create some FUN for the kiddos! Click on each picture below to check out the play ideas pictured.
With our love of open-ended, hands-on, easy play, you know Fun-A-Day has some ideas to contribute! Again, just click on the photo to be taken to a particular activity. Just be sure to come back and link up.
I would love for you to share what YOU have been up to this week! If you’re a blogger, link up below. If you’re not, leave me a comment — I really do enjoy hearing from you. 🙂

July 7, 2013 at 8:37 pmThanks, the weekend went well! I just love that marble pop. I’m hoping that Little Hurricane and I can recreate it in the next week or two. He’s really into marbles right now, so I know he’d have a blast.
