Sunday afternoons after church can be a challenge for us. I view this as a time to spend with family and to rest. However, that is not how it goes. I am usually alone with the kids, and the last thing my pre-schooler and toddler want to do is rest and relax. It is so easy to say "sure, watch movies all afternoon." Although the afternoon passes by smoother, Miss O will spend the next week trying to convince me she needs to watch movies all the time.
To combat movie marathons, I decided to try something a little different this Sunday. I made the kids ribbon rings. All I needed was two wooden rings and strips of ribbon. I tied the ribbon to the rings. I turned on the radio and the munchkins started a dance party.
This activity keep my kids busy for awhile. I wish I could say that this was my idea, but I saw kids playin with these at Miss O's school and it just looked so pretty and fun. I have to say that my kids agreed. It got serious when Miss O had to go and change into one of her "dancing dresses" for this activity. They danced and twirled around with those ribbon rings, and laughed and giggled while doing it. It made a momma's heart proud.
