Grocery Store “Game” That Can Help Save Your Sanity at the Grocery Store

Taking kids to the store for groceries, necessities, etc can get pretty crazy. Especially when you have small children. This simple kids activity helps me keep my sanity, my kids close by, and it’s a fun learning game too!

As a mom who’s village lives far away, and is often without assistance, I’ve learned to get creative when it comes to going out with my kids. The fact of the matter is, if I never left the house when my husband was away I would go absolutely insane.

Simple Grocery Store “Game” For Kids

My little grocery game isn’t really a game at all. All I do is tell my child what I need from the shelf, how many, and have them put it in the cart. (Or to avoid anything breaking, give it to me and I will put it in the cart.) It is that simple. If your child can read, give them a list to read as well!

Really, it’s just grocery shopping. Haha! But the kids think it is so much fun, and they love finding an item, and helping me get it off the shelf.

For example I will tell them, “I need 3 cans of corn. Can you find that for me?” If there are multiple brands of that item, I will tell them the color of the can to help them find the correct one.

And we simply take turns between kids getting things.

After we have finished our shopping, I let them help me put everything on the checkout belt. As well as let them help me bag the items.

So again, I am loosely calling this a game. It really is just letting them help me grocery shop. But they absolutely love it!

Why My Kids Love This Simple Kids Activity & Grocery Store Game

This “game” may seem really silly to an adult, but the fact is kids absolutely love it! And here’s why:

They get to help: Kids love to help with everyday tasks. I honestly can’t tell you why that is, but they do. I think it makes them feel independent, and fills that human desire to be helpful. Not to mention “grown up tasks” like laundry, grocery shopping, dishes, etc are exciting to kids.
It makes grocery shopping more fun: Yes, kids do tend to be interested in adult tasks. However, grocery shopping isn’t the most exciting for kids. (Let’s be honest, it’s really not exciting for adults either! Ha!) And while I don’t think we need to make everything fun for kids, sometimes it can be helpful for our own sanity. Instead of having to listen to kids complain that this is boring, they are having fun doing a task with mom.

Why I Love This Simple Kids Activity & Grocery Store Game

Not only do my kids love this little game, but I love it too! And here’s why:

It keeps my kids close to me: As much as I would love to corral them all in the cart during shopping trips, I need the cart space for groceries. And so, this little grocery store game keeps their focus on me and the task at hand. In turn this keeps them close to me instead of wandering ahead. Not to mention it keeps me from having to constantly tell them to come back, stay close, hold the cart, etc.
- As strange as it sounds, for the kids it’s a fun activity. But for me, it’s about safety and keeping them where I can see them. (Because you only have so many eyes. ha!) Meanwhile keeping grocery shopping a positive experience overall.
They are learning while we go: Not only does it keep the kids close to me without constantly correcting them, they are learning too! What exactly are they learning?
- Numbers: Can you get 2 bananas? 5 apples? They get to count out the item as they pick them, as well as get a visual on what that number looks like.
  - If your kids are older, you can also show them the prices of items. Have them do some quick math to see how much multiples of an item would cost. Incorporate how money works, etc.
- Recognizing food items: Doing this also helps them recognize food items. They will learn what green beans are, what pasta looks like, etc.
- Colors: When there are multiple brands of a similar item, I will usually point out the color of the packaging so they know which one I want. This helps them recognize colors. And with my youngest toddler, I usually always point out the color anyway. (yellow banana. purple grapes. etc.)
- Following directions: On top of all the other amazing things they are learning, this game teaches how to follow directions. They have to listen to what I am asking, and then follow through with the task. It’s simple, but very effective.

Managing Every Day Tasks With Kids In Tow

Taking kids everywhere with us can be hard work. However, it’s great for kids to learn how to behave in public spaces, and happily co-exist with others. So while it may be difficult at times, know that what you are doing is important.

Kids are not small adults. Their brains are still developing and they are learning and absorbing everything all the time. Its ok for kids to act like kids! You are not a bad mom when your kids don’t act perfectly every time you go somewhere. It is simply our job to correct them, and teach them.

And because of this, I don’t think it is always necessary to make every task fun for our kids. It is important for them to learn how to cope with life and every day experiences that may not always be fun and exciting.

On the other hand, I also don’t think it is wrong to make some things fun from time to time. You simply need to find that healthy balance between the two.

I love this little grocery store game, because it can be fun for them, but it also teaches them what we do at the grocery store, and how to behave properly. (Instead of racing up and down the aisles, and pulling everything off the shelves. If you know what I mean. Haha!)

Simple Activities Are Sometimes The Best Ones!

I am in no way claiming this simple kids activity as my own. It is just something I started doing with my kids, and it has helped me a lot. And as silly and simple as it seems, sometimes we just don’t think of simple things because our brains are already on overdrive with everything else.

10 Free Printable Father’s Day Cards For Kids To Color

Father’s Day 2024 is on Sunday, June 16th. And if you’re looking for a simple Father’s Day Craft for kids to give to their dad, grandpa, or uncle, these cards are perfect! These free printable Father’s Day cards can be done as is, you can paste them to some construction paper, add stickers or any other decorations of your choosing!

The dad in your life will love these simple cards from kids, because they came from his loved ones. Honestly, I think there is so much pressure to do things extra big and fancy these days, that we’ve lost the beauty in the simple things. Looking back, we won’t remember all the crafts we’ve done, but rather the time we spent together doing them.

Father’s Day Craft for Kids: My Honest Thoughts

Here’s the truth. Sometimes upon scrolling the internet for cute Father’s Day craft ideas, I see some really adorable ideas. I save them for later with good intentions, and then I either forget or just never get around to doing them. If you’re in the same boat as I am with that, you’re going to love these colorable cards.

You can print the cards, have the kids color them and present them to dad just like that. Or if you want to get really creative, add them to something else! As a matter of fact, they are simple and easy to really make them your own.

Celebrating Dad

Dad’s play such an important role in children’s lives. I understand that Father’s Day for everyone is different. For some it is a happy day to celebrate the fathers and father figures in your life. For other’s Father’s Day can be a tough day.

I have been blessed with an incredible dad. There were definitely times when I was a kid that I wasn’t always thrilled with my dad. However, the older I get, the more I understand and appreciate him. I am so very thankful to have grown up with the dad that I have. I can’t pretend to understand what it may be like if you didn’t or don’t have a great relationship with your father. But I do hope you can find a way to enjoy the day, and maybe celebrate those in your life you filled in the gaps.

Make Father’s Day Special

I feel like sometimes social media really puts dads down. But as I have said before, Dads are so important, and their role may look different than moms. That balance is honestly what makes things great!

Dad’s deserve to be celebrated and told how much they are appreciated. However, you choose to do that, he will appreciate it! Father’s day doesn’t have to be extravagant, a simple card and his favorite meal is just as special as a fancy gift or outing. Just let him know what a great dad he is and that you love him! That is what really matters.

Super Simple Father’s Day Craft

If you remember, I also made colorable Mother’s Day cards this year. And funny story, my husband actually had my kids each pick one and they colored me one. I loved it! They were so cute, and I love that they took the time to make them for me. I also love how heavily supportive my husband is of this blog. (Hey handsome! I love you!)

I loved it so much that I decided to make some again for Father’s Day. Once again, I intentionally made the simple so that kids of all ages could enjoy coloring. I find that the overly detailed coloring pages overwhelm younger kids. Whereas if they are simpler, the younger kids can enjoy and the other kids have freedom to be as creative as they want to be!

100+ Summer Activities for Kids and Free Printable Bucket List

Summer is here, kids are home, and you may have already heard the words “I’m bored” a dozen times. Here are over 100 summer activities for kids for those moments when the kids are looking for something to do. In this list you will find indoor and outdoor activities, activities for learning, and activities for when you need to get out of the house.

First, let me preface this by saying that it is okay for kids to be bored. (Like I have said in my other activity posts.) Boredom is great for kids, and it is not your responsibility to keep your kids entertained 24/7. I know social media makes it seem like kids need all these intricate activities, and things to keep them busy. They don’t.

Sometimes I miss the way we grew up in the 90’s. Things just seemed so much simpler. You found your friends by looking for the pile of bikes in the grass, you played in the dirt, you used your imagination. Boredom was simply fuel for imagination and creativity.

Anyway… Let’s get to it!

Nostalgia aside, having an idea of things to do when you are looking for an activity to do with your kids, or ideas to pass on to them when they say “mom!!! I’m bored!” can be really helpful.

Along with this list here, I have created a free printable “Summer Bucket List” that you can hang on your fridge for kids to find inspiration from!

So here we go! Fun summer activities for kids!

5 Unexpected and Fun Free Activities for Kids

School is coming to a close and kids activities can get expensive fast. As a result, free kids activities are mom’s best friend! Especially when you’re looking for something to get out of the house without spending an arm and a leg.

Now let me preface this by saying that you do not always have to have an activity planned for your kids. Boredom is wonderful for kids! In fact, being bored really gives their imagination a chance to shine! It can be easy to fall into the social media rabbit hole that makes you feel like you always have to do something for your kids.

This post is not intended to make you feel that way! I find that sometimes I need to get out of the house. Or the kids just have a case of cabin fever, and getting out is great for all of us.

5 Simple and Fun Free Activities for Kids

Like I said before, sometimes taking the kids somewhere for an activity is just as much for me as it is for them. These are 5 free activities for kids that my own kids enjoy, and that we regularly rotate into our days.

Not to mention that when it comes to kids activities, the more simple, the better. Here’s the thing. Social media makes it seem like we need to do all these over the top activities, vacations, adventures, and so on. However, kids aren’t that complicated. They like simple things. Have you ever seen a kid get excited about a rock?

Simple activities are what kids really enjoy. Things they can have some freedom with, and aren’t so structured that we end up micromanaging them. I am a big advocate for letting kids be kids. They already grow up so fast. Why rush it?

1. Kids Bowl For Free

Kids bowl for free is a nationwide (U.S) program that allows kids to bowl for free all summer long! Simply check the Kid’s Bowl Free Website (here) for participating bowling alleys in your area.

When you sign your kids up for the program, they can bowl up to 2 games a day for free (just pay for shoe rental!) all summer long. Children ages 2-16 are eligible for the program. And the also offer a family pass for purchase so that parents, guardians, older siblings, grandparents, etc can also bowl 2 games for free.

Check out all the details on the Kids Bowl Free Website above!

2. Pet Store

The pet store can be like a free zoo! Walk around and see the birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, lizards, snakes, fish, and more. In my area, we have local pet store that has puppies, cats, ferrets, rabbits, etc. And the best thing about it is that they let you to pet, hold, and play with the animals! It’s so much fun, and my kids absolutely love going there. Honestly, when I’m feeling a little stressed, I like to take my kids there so I can get some puppy love. haha!

Additionally, when we are finished we usually buy a little treat for our dog, so I guess it’s not always totally free… But it’s still awesome!

3. Living Spaces Indoor Playground

This is one I recently found out about myself. Surprisingly, Living spaces is actually a furniture store. (You may have heard the catchy little jingle on a commercial.) Inside they have an indoor playground that is totally free! Not only do they have the free playground, they also have tables for coloring, computers with learning games, board games, books, and a tv area with movies!

Another thing I appreciate about Living Spaces, is that the playground area is very secure. They take all your information when you come in, there is an alarm on the door (so kids can’t just leave), and they give you all matching bracelets. Additionally, they check the bracelets when you leave so no one takes someone else’s kid home.

So head over, grab a free cup of coffee and let the kiddos run themselves ragged!

Find a location near you on Living Spaces website here.

4. Visit your Local Library

Going to the library is one of my kid’s favorite activities. And you may be surprised to find that there is a lot to do at the library.

A few things our library offers that we enjoy participating in are: (Keep in mind that things will vary from library to library. Visit your local library to find what kinds of activities and programs they offer.)

Kid’s section with kid’s books, toys, blocks, scavenger hunts, etc.
Kid’s activities and meet ups
Story time
Summer reading challenge (with prizes upon completion!)
Free book box subscriptions
Special events like craft times, magicians, author meet and greets, and more
Free experience passes to the zoo, museums, etc. that are available to checkout.

5. Home Depot Kid’s Workshop

On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot offers a free, in-store, workshop for kids. This is a program that has been around since I was a kid! I loved going to the kid’s workshop when I was little, and I love taking my kids every month.

Each month there is a different project for kids to build. After they’ve finished building they have the option to paint their project, and take it home! Home Depot provides kid size aprons (to keep!), tools, building kit, paint, and clean up! Sometimes, our Home Depot even has free popcorn!

Check out more info on Home Depot’s website here .

A Few Bonus Free Activities for Kids

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Kids are bursting with energy, and any kind of activity that helps with that energy is a win in my book.

These are a few extra free activities for kids that may seem more obvious. However, they can still be fun and beneficial in many ways.

1.Go for a Walk, Hike, Bike Ride, etc.

Getting outside in the fresh air will do wonders for everyone’s mood, energy levels, sleep, and more. One of my favorite things to do with my kids is go for a walk with no goal in mind. We simply walk, they stop and look at bugs, run in the grass, pick flowers, pick up sticks, toss rocks in the creek, climb stuff, and so on.

Another benefit of doing child-led walks is that it gives them freedom to just be kids. Sometimes we as adults get so caught up in out daily to do list that we are always rushing our kids. A child-led walk gives everyone a chance to slow down and just enjoy being outside.

I’ll be honest, it has taken me some time to build up the patience for walks like this. My natural instinct is to keep moving and keep the kids on task. So don’t feel discouraged if you try this and it doesn’t go perfectly. Start small and work your way up to a longer walk time. After some time, you will really learn to enjoy slow walks with your kids.

2. Go to the Park

I know, the park feels like the obvious choice. But maybe that is for a reason! The fact is that all kids love the park! It’s the perfect place for kids to run, play, scream, meet other kids, get some fresh air, and just get some energy out in general.

What may feel boring to you, is likely your kids favorite activity.

3. Check out a Splash Pad

Splash pads are such a fun summer activity. In general, these are free and can be found alongside playgrounds, etc. Let them run around in the splash pad for a while, and then dry off with some time on the playground. This is an activity that is sure to wear the kids out!

4. Visit a Lake or Beach

Depending on where you live, going to the lake or beach is another fun activity with a lot of potential. Swimming, splashing, sight seeing, digging, building, fishing, collecting rocks, skipping rocks… These kind of places are a kid’s paradise!

And while this makes for a super fun day, don’t forget to practice water safety!

Stay with your kids at all times.
Put the phone away and watch your kids, accidents can happen quickly!
Wear life jackets, sunscreen, water shoes, etc.
Wear bright colored swim suits. Avoid blues and greens. Bright colors are easier to see!

What are some free activities you like to do with your kids? I’d love to hear about them in the comments below!

10 Free Colorable Mother’s Day Cards For Kids

Mother’s Day is just around the corner on Sunday, May 12 2024! And while everyone will celebrate Mother’s Day differently, every mom loves a simple token of appreciation. May that be one of the many Mother’s Day crafts out there, or just a sweet card from her kids. Every mom deserves to be celebrated!

I do enjoy doing crafts with my kids, and my kids are obsessed with doing crafts too. However, sometimes you just want something simple, with no preparation required to keep your kids occupied. And with Mother’s Day approaching I had these grand ideas of Mother’s Day crafts we were going to do together to send to grandmas. Then life happened, and I never got around to completing our Mother’s Day crafts…

On the other hand, I still wanted to give my kids something to send to their grandmas (and my oldest has been begging to do a craft the last few days…). As a result, I thought making cards would be a great plan. Even better, what if they were pre-made so all we had to do was print, color, and mail them?

Super Simple Mother’s Day Crafts For Kids

As I said above, I had good intentions to do some sweet Mother’s Day crafts with my kids this year. But the truth is, I have just been tired and burnt out lately, which has really affected my motivation for pretty much everything. (Waiting for that second trimester energy to show up… Ope! Surprise, baby number four is on the way!)

So if you’re anything like me, in need of some low energy and no prep kid activities… these DIY Mother’s Day cards make a great activity, and double as a sweet gift for grandmas, aunts, and so on!

On the other hand, if you’re a dad looking for some Mother’s Day crafts for your kids to make for their mom, these are still a great option! I know I love when my kids make things for me!

Make Mother’s Day Special

Now I realize that Mother’s Day doesn’t look the same for everyone. Some people love a big celebration, while others may just enjoy some quiet alone time. And while you may celebrate differently, I can guarantee you that all Moms just want to be noticed and appreciated for all they do.

Sometimes being a mom can feel lonely, mundane, and thankless. In fact, often times it feels like we have the weight of the entire world on our shoulders, and no one even notices.

Let me assure you, that I notice. Sure, I may not be able to physically see you, but I know that you do so much for your family. I know that you are so tired. And I know that you are doing your best for your family by showing up every day. Even when you don’t want to.

Free Printable Mother’s Day Cards

When I set out to make these printable Mother’s Day cards, I wanted to keep them simple. I wanted my kids to be able to be as creative as they wanted with them. On the other hand, I also wanted them to be simple enough for even my youngest to color. (Sometimes I think that the overly detailed coloring pages can be overwhelming for younger kids.)

Mother’s Day Crafts: Colorable Cards

1. I thought this was cute. But the longer I looked at it, it was giving chicken nugget and French fry vibes. Perfect for your yellow arch loving kid (or mom! ha!)

2. This one is a great option for a little bit of an older artist who want’s a little extra to color. Additionally, this bouquet of flowers is really low maintenance!

3. A little backstory here: My husband does not understand the sadness that comes with the name change. You start with a little baby muttering Ma-Ma. As they become toddlers they start to call you Mommy. And eventually as they get older you’re just Mom. It’s definitely a bittersweet feeling, but sometimes you just miss those little “mama”s.

4. This is simple, but I think it is so sweet! Not too much going on, but a lot of creative potential!

5. My kiddos love Koalas, and how sweet is this baby koala hugging her mama?

6. Because moms are real life super heroes! You may not be able to fly or swing from the walls, but you are MIGHTY!

7. Many moms worry if they are doing enough, or beat themselves up when they make a mistake. If this is you, remember that in your child’s eyes you are perfect. You are amazing!

8. Another one for the animal lovers! I thought this would be a sweet one to send to a grandma or aunt too.

9. This one was inspired by my Dino loving kiddo!

10. Finally, similar to the options above, this is another one that I kept generic. That way we could include grandmas and aunts too. (There are so many different grandma names out there. My oldest started calling my mom”Bebe” and the name just stuck!)
