    Stuck in a rut for activity ideas. Where do you get yours from?

    At the moment I have 1x3yr old on Mondays and 1x1yr old one day a week, adhoc.

    Not worked properly since May so feeling a bit rusty.

    I use a few different things to get fresh ideas:

    1) If your a gold member childcare .co.uk/ or with Morton Michell Insurance you get the quarterly magazine creative steps to download

    2) SIgn up to different blogs and sites so that i get sent their newletter
    a) Nurture Store
    b)Activity Village
    c) Mr Printables

    3) on facebook i like different groups and see ideas in my newsfeed
    a) Happy Hooligans
    b) Creative Kids
    c) Imagination Tree
    d) Growing a Jeweled Rose
    e) Toddler Approved

    Most of the above facebook pages also have websites.

    And lots of ideas from here.

    I like the facebook feeds because i dont have search for them, if they post something it appears in my newsfeed.

    If im stuck then google images is always helpful. Put something in like apple crafts, autumn crafts, crocodile crafts or whatever your little ones are interested in and the images are a good help.

    I sometimes get stuck with thinking of things every week
    Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.
