Once your kid gets older and you can play together that's awesome!<br />
<br />
Our son Valo likes to try playing NHL '11 already, but the controller is too large for his hands. But the iOS devices with swipe screen controls are great for playing together.<br />

You can easily shape animals of all kinds and from a very young age kids can do snakes even themselves and snakes are awesome. Play-doh or some other brand of non-toxic modeling compound is great to play with and not deadly even if you eat it. It contains a lot of salt so it is not good to eat lots of it. Keep it away from pets too, since they might think it's food.<br />
<br />
You can also make Play-Doh yourself at home!<br />

<br />
A camera is great to have to take a look at the results. Even better if you have a camera that you can point towards yourself and see the viewfinder before snapping the photo. For us it is the iPhone 4 with the FaceTime camera that we use all the time for recording and learning new funny faces.<br />

You can do this very early on as soon as the kid can sit properly and you have a baby seat in the swing that is secure.<br />
<br />
This is also one of those joys of playing together that you won't be able to do together once the kid gets older. So enjoy it while you get the chance.<br />

Snowy hills, water slides or just kiddie slides. You don't have a long time window to get to slide together on most of these and especially in kiddie slides. Do it while you can, when the kid gets older he will not allow you to slide together, he wants to go solo. You are allowed a bit longer in the sled, but to kiddie slides.<br />

A gold fish pond or tank or a fish hatchery are all great places to see big schools of fish and get to feed them. Make sure to use only food that is meant for the fish and tell the kid why fish don't eat e.g. smoothies or bananas...<br />

Rubber ducks and other floating animals are great too.<br />
<br />
Puddle's are better than lake or sea shore, so falling in is not as hazardous. Little toddlers shouldn't be left alone for a second though even with a puddle. Having a watch dog is also handy, but not enough.<br />

<br />
It's even more awesome to get to sit in a real one. Of course only if the kid is there because he wants to and not because the police wants him to...<br />

Digital cameras are great fun to have photo shoots with and look at the end results right away. Your kid will learn more about their own expressions and learn to enjoy posing.<br />
<br />
Using the excuse of "let's take a picture of you doing X", where X is the choir or activity your kid wouldn't like to do just when it is needed like brushing teeth, eating, dressing up etc. is a perfect con to get them excited about the activity you want them to!<br />
<br />
You can never take too many awesome pictures of every day situations and look at them and discuss.<br />

<br />
Feeding dogs, goats, ducks etc. is awesome and the kids love it - if you make sure you are feeding the right food for their diet the animals will love it too.<br />

Kids are naturals as sliding down slopes etc. you just need to build their confidence and skill together for the height and slope so that they are always having fun and feeling secure. So better to ride together as long they think they need it, they will let you know once they want to go alone!<br />

Sometimes sleigh is more convenient means to go around instead of stroller when there is a lot of snow.<br />
<br />
When the kid gets a bit older you can graduate to steerable sleighs, downhill skis and snowboarding...Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18328519552368227200noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5309339916762631552.post-41631805734780496072011-02-07T00:52:00.000-08:002011-02-07T00:52:28.038-08:00#12 Snow AngelsSnow angels are awesome if you have fresh snow and good outing gear. Let you kid fall on their back to the soft snow and move their feet and arms up and down to create the winged shape of an angel.<br />
<br />
Just like real angels they are hard to catch on camera and require a bit of an open mind to see them...<br />

Putting cling film on top of them allows to really build some cool sounding drums.<br />
<br />
But some other undervalued kitchenware instruments include egg cutters that sound like harpsichords, glasses and bottles filled with water and singing to a broom as a microphone.<br />

For snow men and snow animals the weather needs to be just about 0 Celsius or 32 Fahrenheit to be able to work the snow and pack it into shapes that last.<br />
<br />
Snowmen are an all time favorite, but snow animals are awesome too. Dogs are fun and easy to build, they're also not too big so it doesn't take long and the end result is hugging good.<br />
<br />
Good clothes and especially good gloves make the process more enjoyable for all.<br />

A local farmer's market is a great place to learn about fruits and vegetables and get some awesome and healthy treats.<br />
<br />
If you don't have a farmer's market, fresh fruit from anywhere is just as good as long as it is enjoyed together with your kid on a beautiful day.<br />
<br />

Kids love them. Hugging animals, that are willing to be hugged is even more awesome.<br />
<br />
Goats in petting zoos are a great target for hugging. Friendly dogs that like kids and are used to hugging are great too.<br />
<br />
I'm sure there are several other animals that are awesome for hugging, but we haven't tried other than goats and dogs.<br />

Best to ride together at first and in a non-moving animal.<br />
<br />
Later you can move to moving animals and more serious rides.<br />

Being a gorilla is very high on the list of stupid things.<br />
<br />
Let your arms swing low on your sides, walk low and swing from side to side and make a gorilla face and noises.<br />
<br />
Awesome fun guaranteed! For smaller kids be easy on the noises and don't be too scary...<br />

Your kid will ask questions learn words, language, colors, numbers, concepts etc. and you'll both have an awesome time.<br />
<br />
Favorite books will be read frequently, but even favorite books get old. Buying, borrowing and finding your old books are good ways to get variety into your active library.<br />
<br />
Reading is good entertainment for tough days while eating, being together, it's good for traveling as well and especially good for bed time stories and setting up a familiar ending for every day.<br />

They are fun, nutritious, taste good and you can get them anywhere. They are great snacks instead of an endless amount of unhealthy options like ice cream, crisps and candy...<br />
<br />

<br />
Smoothies are also great to make on your own together with your kid. Get some yoghurt, milk, banana, mango and throw them into the blender. Let your kid turn on the blender and see the ingredients to turn into a delicious smoothie.<br />
<br />

Nothing is more frustrating than your kid asking you to build a train, car, house, ship etc. and all you have is a couple of bricks worth of building material.<br />
<br />
We usually start off by me asking what should we build and trying to meet the demands and orders flying for different vessels and animals...<br />
<br />
For boys at least it's good to have a set of Duplos where you have som wheels, makes it easier to try build anything close to vehicle of any kind.<br />
<br />
Also having those base plates are really handy, they serve as a sturdy base for more elaborate settings or higher structures that would otherwise fall easily.<br />
<br />
It's awesome to build anything tall - a tower, a robot, a skyscraper etc. - especially robots in our family.<br />

1) Legos own site, you can search for things to build and get instructions and of course order some badly needed bricks.<br />
