I know we're all going through a tough time right now and part of that is boys remaining residence from school so mothers might be struggling to keep their girls entertained during the day we're all having to get creative because of this peculiar place and I'm so proud of the Texas spirit that I've been learn during these ages in case you don't know I am a true-blue Texan bear and elevated so I've partnered with heb for this super uplifting super positive strategy announced Texans helping Texans so in this video I hope to help out my comrade Texans and parents all over the world by showing you guys 10 different activities that you can do with your teenagers indoors and if you're likewise from Texas I'd love to see how you're helping your fellow Texans so feel free to join in on the movement use the hashtag Texans curing Texans and be sure to tag a TV so they can see it very these are going to be 10 super easy super simple acts that are perfect for preschoolers I have a 4 time old daughter named Ziya and she loved these pleasure number one is super simple but sometimes putting a slight spin on an aged classic is just enough to keep children from get stood I'm calling this attraction on the walls but of course you're not really outlining on the walls I videotapeed up some newspaper so that it would feel like she's coloring on the walls wow what else you got a job it's just something a little different rather than coloring on regular newspaper it's a larger scale and the teenagers feel cool because they're doing it on the wall I know it's super simple but as Isle of dit and you can use any type of paper or fabric that you have laying around the house even exactly newspaper or cardboard or whatever you have give your girls some crayons or even some washable paint if you're feeling brave and let them create a bigger piece of artwork than they usually got to get acquire Wow fairly what are you suck so far can you point and tell me what everything is speaking of artwork activity number two is watercolor ring it's just more amusing than crayons frankly girls love to get a little messy and appoint their own little masterpieces and the specific thing that I wanted to point out here is that you can print off free emblazon pages from Crayola com I don't know how many of you guys knew this but they have so many different types of sheets to choose from and it's totally free so you don't need to buy colour journals you are eligible to exactly publish them off on recycled paper even work number three is a super funny game that simply takes a few information to create yourself you're just gonna need some colored paper maybe a paper plate and some markers and that's pretty much it this is called shape hopscotch virtually you're making your own little explanation of twister and it helps to learn your pigments and your determines as well so I only cut out a bunch of different figures and a bunch of different colours and I started my own little spinner out of a newspaper sheet so now we're gonna evoke the molds as part of the choices more so you can land on a hue or a contour so this is our thing and then to impel the spinner I'm just gonna use a little sewing pin to poke it through the plate so then in theory the idea is that you spin the spinner you discover which color or figure it lands on and you have to hop to that shade if you touch the flooring you're out[ Music] going along with the theme of emblazons and contours activity list four is a scavenger hunt you can do two different types of scavenger hunts a hue hunt and a figure hunting the coloring hunting is mostly where you time create a sheet with different pigments on it and you have your child go around the house and find objectives that match with that dye "hes also" a good opportunity to practice your handwriting and practice your spelling to make it more interesting you can try to use unique colors or restraint them to certain chambers of the house you can even say things like know five lettuce objects and three orange objects okay yeah that's right newborn yeah what character does child start with perfect saya that's your best one more then for the shape hunting it's a same hypothesi but this time the mother picks up different objects and draws them onto the piece of paper as the template then the child has to go around the house and find the accord objects this is really fun if you can find some funky mold objectives that might not be as easy to find what do you think that big-hearted thing is have you ever seen something that determined like that elephant with your mane nonsense yes perfect match to goldfishes you're too smart you figured that out but what do you think this is my temperature but they're modern no it's not a thermometer what else looks a lot like that got a look around see if you can find anything[ Music] upturn that's kind of the right width but not really the freedom contour because this kind of has a little bit of a triangle on the top what's something that kind of has that mold look over here okay let's see perfect you got it and I see something else nearby that might fit this shape[ Applause] and you already knew what those were what were they catch fish good racket Ziya is that a recreation game work numeral five is called tube passageways so for this you exactly need some recycled paper towel reels toilet paper flattens if you have those even the goes from wrapping paper then you're gonna want to use some painters videotape that acces you don't impairment your walls and organize different ways to throw a marble a beading or a chunk down ensure[ Applause][ Applause][ Music][ Music] you can challenge your kids to figure out different moves that they can create and school them about things like gravitation kinetic energy and inertia along the way wait wait wait don't recycle those tubes just yet you're gonna need them for pleasure digit six this one is indoor bowling basically you're creating bowling pins out of tubes plastic bottles whatever you have and you're recycling then and you can even make a point system then take a nice soft ball nothing extremely hard since we're playing in the house and throw it at the rods or roster it whatever works best for you you can get creative with your own rules and your own way to play this game you'd be surprised how humorous it is[ Applause][ Applause] you'd be for real that was hard for pleasure crowd seven I decided to play off of the fact that Ziya is haunted with princess dressup right now so I considered why don't we oblige our own power princess wands we've already got the construction paper glue pearls glitter ribbon all types of stuff left over from numerou different projects so I only decided to use some chopsticks and we represented our own occult rods this is just an example of getting wily in a way that your child will be excited about so if your teenager desires animals you can spawn your own animal cover-ups out of a article plate if they love outer space you can stir your own rocket ship don't doubt what you can do with some construction paper and a cement fasten now we get to generate the figurehead with masterpieces and all kinds of things[ Music] I decided to take it a gradation further with the mystical princess twigs and I turned it into a game so we both get dressed up in our princess regalium yes I have a princess dress more and I made a game where we parted our magical wands at each other and said that we were turning each other into a different animal so if I say I'm turning her into a frog she has to prepare the noise that a frog attains if she turns me into a tiger I had to act like a beast between inducing our own rods going dressed up and playing pretend this definitely deterred her entertained for a couple of hours activity number eight is a good oldfashioned baking soda volcano but with a spin so for this you're going to need baking soda vinegar of course but likewise some food coloring and some glitter I too recommend having a tray to catch your mess and we just did ours in a towering glass so of course we contributed some baking soda into the glass but instead of time pouring the vinegar straight-from-the-shoulder and we're making a beautiful volcano by adding some brightnes and some food coloring[ Music][ Music] the responses looks like a beautiful supernatural brew and Ziya really got a kick out of it it's candidly really fun and you can do it over and over again by adding different colours of food coloring different extents of glint and precisely hinder adding more vinegar so if you have some baking soda and vinegar sitting around hopefully you too have some flour so you can do activity number 9 this is creating your own DIY move sand by time working flour and child oil you desegregate these two things together squish it all up and it creates a composition very similar to moon sand that you can buy from the store I surely recommend doing this in some sort of sizable tray or plastic receptacle just to contain the mess but you can reach however much wishes to acquire we exercised about 4 goblets of flour and about half a bowl of babe lubricant but you are eligible to really eyeball it and mix it together until you get your desired consistency it should be a texture that will actually hold like a sandcastle the great thing about this is that you can store it for last-minute and remain reusing it as long as it's in an airtight container[ Music] now if you would prefer to use your pantry ingredients towards something that really palatable why not do undertaking multitude 10 which ought to precisely get cooking with your babies in the kitchen cook whatever you like broil whatever you like Ziya enjoys baking cupcakes that is her goto thing so that is something we always do for fun I know everyone has been cooking a lot more dinners from residence during this time so why not have your babies meet you in the kitchen you'd be really surprised how fun it is how much they enjoy it and what they're actually capable of doing in the kitchen so there you have it ten super simple but surprisingly fun
