As we settle in to this chilly weather, my kids tend to get antsy from being cooped up day after day. So I try different activities around the house that will keep them busy without a ton of whining and screaming (helping with garbage duty didn’t go over so well).
One thing that DID go over well was the basic pillow fort! And it’s a great free activity to do on a weekend with some popcorn and a movie.
Here are some tips to build the best pillow fort ever!
One thing to remember: let the kids take the lead on how they want to build their fort and what they want in it. As much as my OCD flared up, it’s much more fun for them to decide on how their fort is built and what’s in it. It gets their creative juices flowing, and depending on their age, it MAY get you a few moments to yourself!
