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!
With our love of open-ended, hands-on, easy play, you know Fun-A-Day has some ideas to contribute!
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. 🙂

Thanks for stopping by again, Amy! Yes, the summer has been busier and gone by faster than I thought it would. We’re happy with all the craziness, although my house is just a disaster right now. 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing our toddler fine motor activity, Marble Pop! Hope you are having a great weekend!
Thanks, 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.

Thanks, Sugar Aunts! It’s fun to see how kids get sooo into simple activities, isn’t it? That wet sidewalk chalk painting looked like a lot of fun! I know things like that keep my kiddo and his buds entertained and happy for hours. 🙂

Glad you stopped by, Amy! I agree, it doesn’t always have to be complicated. Simple ideas can still lead to HOURS of fun for the kids. 🙂
