This week, Works for Me Wednesday is a themed edition — the “Mom, I’m Bored” edition, which will feature ideas for keeping your kids from saying those dreaded words to you all summer.
Sometimes, to mix things up a bit around our house, I like to drag out some toy or playset that the kids haven’t played with in a while. Old toys that haven’t seen the light of day in ages suddenly become new and exciting.
Pictured here are the kids with the Thomas the Tank Engine set that they hadn’t touched in forever. Now that they’re older, they worked on setting up the track (though I still had to help) and trying out new ways to set things up. Another favorite (that my kids actually just did today!) is to get out a bunch of Fisher Price houses, vehicles, trains, and people for a giant Fisher Price-a-palooza.
Of course, if you pull out something that the kids haven’t played with in a very long time and they still don’t want to play with it, that probably means it is time to pass it along to someone who will love it.
What toys might you be able to bring out this summer that your kids haven’t played with in ages?
