ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITIES

There is so much out there for kids to do, and activities they will enjoy. Remember that occupying your child and them having fun is simple, but not always easy. It requires time and effort and is often a full-time job. Here are some alternative activities that do not require a screen or device, and links to resources that have thousands of more ideas. The activities listed here also have an additional point value for the 40-day playPURE challenge.
