Quiet Days - No Problem
From our previous adventures we have learnt that there are days when it is quiet on camp or if the weather isn't being kind!
For little man this is also a break from computer games and pads as we want him to use his imagination and play outdoors as much as possible.
We always take some of his toys from home, like the Lego, however this time we wanted something different and games that we could all enjoy.
I got in touch with my cousins wife as she crochets and gave her the task of creating something for us, I passed on a couple of ideas and these are what she has come up with so far.
If you wish to purchase one of these for yourself, please check out her Etsy store, https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/CraftyMillerJM?ref=l2-shopheader-name, and follow her on Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/CraftyMillerJM
First up we have a Catch a Fish game, something simple but interactive for both kids and adults. This comes with six brightly coloured fish that have a little magnet in their mouths for you to catch with the pole. The game uses your little ones imagination as they can decide how to play, some ideas are who can catch a certain colour or who can catch the most in 30 seconds.
It comes in a beautiful crochet bag that has a drawstring and packs away nicely, great for camping due to its size or even days out to keep the little ones entertained at lunch time.
Our little one enjoyed playing this game and had one of his friends in playing also.
We would like to see more animals and I believe these are in the pipeline to add on, this will expand the game as you could be catching a starfish or octopus! Would definitely recommend as we had lots of fun, you can make the game harder for older children by making the opening smaller using the drawstring. We pack light when we go away and this fits nicely at the top of one of our bags.
Our next game is a traditional one, naughts and crosses! Our little one picked this up quickly and was strategically placing his counters.
Another nice little game, this one rolls up and ties so that it keeps the counters all inside and safe ready for your next game. Well made and can be done in your choice of colours.
Again could be taken on a day out as it folds away small so could fit in a handbag if needed. Great for all ages, I think our little one is still champion!
We hope to add more of these type of games for our future adventures, if anyone has any ideas please get in touch.
Thank you again to Jenny at Crafty Miller for these wonderful games, I'm sure we will have lots more fun playing them.
