35 Fun, Simple Kids' Activities

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.  🙂

Onto the link up!  If you’d like to grab a button for this link-up, feel free:

Now, grab a cup of coffee and join me for the Stress-Free Sunday link-up. You can link up anything family-friendly . . . it doesn’t have to be related to the ideas I shared above.  Please keep in mind that, by linking up, you’re giving me permission to share a picture and a link back to your post.  I can’t wait to see what you share this week!

      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. 🙂

      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. 🙂
