Kids and parents both need to have fun sometimes, whether its enjoying a family movie night or catching a podcast while driving to school.
This is the place to talk about your favorite forms of family entertainment including sports, games, books, and fun activities with your child.
I'm hosting a birthday party for our three year old at our local park. We are on a tight budget and can't afford entertainment. The park has a large sand box with two jungle gyms at either end. The park staff said the park itself should be enough at that age. I was thinking of bringing some chalk, balls, jump ropes, and bubble wands. Do you think that's enough?
Looking for a somewhat easy read since my brain is usually a little fried at night. Something starting from 1 year and on preferred but if it has a little bit of the first year too then it’s ok. Thanks!!
Do you prefer an actual invitation in the mail or a group on social media? I hate social media groups and would much rather send out actual invites, but I'm wondering what is more practical and easy to remember.
Happy father's day to every dad out there crushing parenting. Whether you stay at home, work 80 hours a week, or are doing it all by yourself - keep up the amazing work.
If you’re fortunate enough to celebrate Father’s Day with a family meal this year, check out this idea from https://fathersdayofaction.org/ Set an extra seat at the table and post a photo on social media with the hashtag #FathersDayOfAction
I have chronic pain and fatigue and am having a hard time playing with my 11 month old. It depends how well I feel that day, but I can play for a few minutes at a time throughout the day before I'm worn out. It seems most days go by with me laying on the couch or floor with the tv on and my kid playing with toys by herself near me. Are there any activities that other parents with chronic p... More
Anyone else celebrating Pride Month with their kids? Do you have any activity or book ideas to share? Mine love the parades (obviously) but we've also been reading books and playing games all month around the themes of love, freedom, family & identity. It's been a lot of fun and also so fascinating to explore how they think about these pretty heady concepts! My favorite moment was... More
So you can actually bid to have your dad’s head sculpted out of cheese for Father’s Day 😂😂 https://www.google.com/amp/s/people.com/food/kraft-cheese-sculpture-fathers-day/amp/ I also saw some reinforced boxers so men don’t get kicked in the privates while they’re babywearing. What other crazy/silly/random Father’s Day gifts have you seen floating around?
I remember seeing the Daddy Saddle featured on Ellen once and thinking it would be a hilarious Father’s Day gift. lol. https://www.chicksaddlery.com/cashel-daddle-parent-saddle
I stay home with my 7 month old everyday. What are some activities to help keep him entertained? Or maybe some learning games? Just things I can do with him to help fill the day. The day seems to drag on and on and I feel like I’m not stimulating him enough. He gets bored within 10-15 minutes in his jumper, activity saucer, and playing on the floor with his toys

Piggybacking off of this sweet Mr. Rogers post about talking to kids, what is your favorite memory of Mr. Rogers as a kid? What lessons have you taken into your life as a parent? Mine is just patience. Mr. Rogers was also so patient, so happy to talk to kids. I try to remember that when I get frustrated with my own LOs. https://winnie.com/post/on-freddish-mr-rogers-thoughtful-3958a848
I just remember how much it meant to me as a child that he was always so calm and warm. It seemed like all the adults in my life were busy running around and stressed and had their own problems but Mr. Rogers wasn't like that at all. As a parent now I try my best (and only sometimes succeed) to be mindful of the fact that my children don't know about all the stuff I have to get done, t... More
'Won't You Be My Neighbor' opened in select cities over the weekend and is being released in more cities throughout the month. Has anyone seen it yet? Was it amazing?? http://focusfeatures.com/wont-you-be-my-neighbor/theaters
A couple of months my wife and I took our 1.5 year old daughter to the toddler gym. We all got sick a day or two after going. I want to go back because we had a great time, but I'm worried about our family getting sick again. Does anyone else feel like this and what would you do?
“Once, Rogers provided new lyrics for the “Tomorrow” song that ended each show to ensure that children watching on Friday wouldn’t expect a show on Saturday, when the show didn’t air.”
Father's Day lands on my 21st birthday this year and I don't really know what to do? I have ideas of gifts to buy for my husband, but he constantly tells me not to buy him anything. Should I listen to him or should I just ignore him and get him a gift? I want to get him something meaningful and special. Anyone have any ideas on what to get him?
Does anyone have any recommendations for game apps for a 4 year old boy during an airplane trip?
Using the app chore monster to keep track of her tasks...reward at the end of the week!
My husband mounted a small tv with Roku outside of her crib when she was 2 months old (though she didn’t sleep overnight in her own room till 3 months) she only watched busy beavers during the day if she was even in her room or 10 hour kaleidoscope lullabies at bedtime. Now she watches mostly just alphabocks, busy beavers, baby first tv, happy kids tv (just numbers) if she’s in her room during ... More
That's what I did for my daughter's 3rd birthday, and I had no complaints. We only had bubbles out of the extra items you listed.
Spray bottles are a fun and cheap substitute for water gun for little ones! They are easy for little hands to use and don’t get the kids soaking wet! Our dollar store stocks pretty decent ones! Bonus the kids can take them home as a prize!
