Games
Games are so much fun! Think back to your childhood and the fun
you had with friends playing all sorts of games, outside in the
backyard, inside on those wet days. When it comes to fun and games,
your imagination is your only limit.
We've listed below a few fun games we remember way back
then...and should have apparently grown out of. What would happen
if we did still play them! Wouldn't that be fun! If you can think
of other games that you used to love to play, let us know! Email us
at funstuff@ohbaby.co.nz
and we'll post it online for everyone to enjoy!
- Dress ups: This is probably more for
your toddler and pre-school more than your baby, but it had to be
added to the list what little girl doesn't want to wear mummy's
high heals and beautiful beaded necklaces.
- Play dough: Check out our play dough page for the
recipe. This can keep kids entertained for hours.
- Hide and Seek: Make sure they know the rules
though. The seeker has to count out loud with their eyes closed -
no peeking, while everyone else hides.
- Treasure Hunts: You can use dolls and toys to
hide or buy a small packet of lollies for everyone to find. Give
them clues about where they might be, hint whether the kids are
warm or cold in terms of how close they are to finding the treasure
("hot" meaning, "You've found it!" or "It's right beside
you!"). Unless they can read, it's no good writing down clues.
- Fun Course: Set up a broom at the end of two
outdoor chairs for the kids to crawl under, make them run to the
back fence and back, past washing line hoping to the skipping ropes
where they have to jump 20 skips...the possibilities are endless
and they'll sleep well that night!
