Keeping your children entertained when you’re on a budget can be tricky. Expensive days out and new toys are pricey. That means that you’re going to have to find other ways to keep your children busy. It is possible to entertain your little ones without spending a fortune. Doing so will mean that you need to use a little imagination. The great thing about children is that they are adaptable. They will love the fact that you are taking the time to play with them. Money can’t buy quality time, and so you should not worry about how much money you can spend on your children. Instead, focus on how much time you can spend with them. Here are some amazing and cheap games to entertain your children.

Limbo in the backyard

One simple game that your children will love is limbo. If the weather is nice, go outside with your children and play a game of limbo. All you will need for this game is a long stick. You can likely find a stick in the yard or outside. If you can’t find one, a stick from a broom will also do the trick. You will need at least three people to play this game. Two of you should hold on to either end of the stick whilst the other one bends backwards to go underneath the stick. Take it in turns. Each time lower the stick a little closer to the ground to make the game harder.

Doughnuts on a string

One classic children’s game that won’t cost you must is doughnuts on a string. Unsurprisingly, the two things you will need for this game are doughnuts and string. Make sure you get doughnuts with holes in so that you can tie them up. Use the string to tie the doughnuts so that they hang down from a pole of a ledge. Your children have to race to see who can eat their doughnut first. The one catch is that they need to ensure that they only use their mouth. They should keep their hands behind their back at all times.

Decorate boxes like cars and tanks

What is the one thing that children do when there are boxes around the house? That’s right; they play with them. Indulge your children’s imagination by buying some cheap moving boxes and using them in a game. You will also need some paint and craft materials for this game. Let your children decorate a box each that they can play inside afterwards. Often boys like to pretend that their box is a car or a tank, and so they will likely decorate their boxes in this way. Once the decoration is over, your children can play at being tanks and cars.

Have a sports day in your yard

If you have a large family, you can put on a sports day in your yard. Play the same sports that children play at school. For example, put on an egg and spoon race in your yard with ease. Make sure that you hard boil the eggs in advance, or you could end up with a mess. Pick some of your children’s favorite sports to focus on and make an event out of the day.

Hide and seek (in the dark)

Put a twist on the classic game of hide and seek by playing it in the dark. Draw all the drapes in the house and turn out the lights. Count to ten and have your children hide in certain areas of the house. The game will be more difficult than usual because you will find it difficult to see.

Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers Review and Giveaway

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Disclosure- The Del Monte products, information and two gift packs have been provided by Del Monte.  All opinions are 100% my own and I received no other compensation.

It’s not always easy to get my girls to eat healthy. Thankfully they do love fruit. I always try to make sure we have healthy snacks to choose from in the house at all times. That way it’s easier for them to make good choices. One of the biggest issues we seem to have, is eating on the go. Seems like there is always something on our busy schedule. Taking fresh fruit and veggies isn’t always an option unfortunately. Have you ever seen a banana that’s been shuffled around in a bag for hours? No bueno!

Thankfully I recently discovered the intense greatness of my kids eating from a pouch. This method is perfect for on the go healthy eating, road trips, traveling and so much more. Not only is it convenient, but there’s no mess to clean up. It’s a total win win situation. This is why I was so in love when I received Del Monte Fruit Burst Squeezers. Of course they didn’t last that long though.

The reusable bags come in handy also. The insulated lunch bag is perfect for keeping the fruit pouches cold. Especially after a long day at soccer.

Little Tikes Bubble Bellie Review

Little Tikes Bubble Bellie  Review 

Bubbles make anyone happy no matter the age. That’s why Little Tikes Bubble Bellie J is such a perfect toy! Endless bubbles with little fuss? Yes please! This battery-operated bubble belly machine makes tons of endless bubbles for hours of fun.


Small in size so you can take it anywhere. The belly on this super cute Bubble Bellie  is clear so you never have to worry about the fun ending. Once he starts to get low, just fill him right back up with the easy opening in his mouth. Easy fill spout with plug to help spillage.

Great for all ages and genders. Bubbles are in all year around. We play with this awesome bubble machine indoors and out. Nothing cheers a fussy baby up like bubbles. If you are looking for an all around toy with tons of perks, this is for you!

Max and Ruby- A Bunny for Every Season DVD Review

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

 

My 18 month old goes CRAZY when Max and Ruby come on TV! She stops whatever she is doing and runs to see where that catchy Max and Ruby theme song is coming from. If your little ones are anything like mine, they will delight to know that available soon is Max and Rubys’ first ever multi-feature DVD!

Go ahead and spring into Easter with Max and Ruby and accompany them as they go Easter egg hunting, bird watching and even camping! But what about going trick or treating? Even sledding and snow men building in the winter. Yes, it may be all seasons put into the one DVD collection, but that truly is the best part, you pop in whichever DVD is appropriate, and let the fun begin!

My favorite episodes are the Easter egg hunt and the summer vacation. Join Max and Ruby as they go kite flying and sand castle building. Who desire to be beachside playing on the sand? I do!

Regardless whether you watch them in order or out of order it’s always a good time. With 48 total episodes there is one sure thing, that Max and Ruby will never agree on one thing- that you will have a blast doing so along with them!
