Classic Indoor Activity: Build a Fort!

Our family’s No TV Month Challenge is off to a great start! The kids have been good about not asking to watch TV at times when they normally do, and I’ve been doing much better with coming up with fun activities for them, so that they’re having so much fun playing, they really don’t even want to watch TV.

But, we’re only a week into the month. So, I’ve been browsing around Pinterest and the blogosphere to come up with even more fun ways to entertain my kids. And while there are lots of great activities out there, I also wanted to find ones that used what we already had around the house, or would be relatively cheap to put together. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have a fortune to spend on daily activities for my kids!

I’ve come up with enough activities to last me for the rest of the month, plus I’ve included a few that we’ve already done and have been hits with my kiddos.

Here are 25 Frugally Fun Indoor Activities for Kids:

Bug Themed Sensory Bin
I have seen pictures and posts about sensory bins on lots of different blogs, but have never made one myself. This one reminds me of spring, which makes my happy, and I just found some great bins to use in the dollar section at target!
