My Review:

My kiddos were so thrilled to get this package!  My 4 yr old is the world’s biggest Lightning McQueen Fan so when he saw the patio set he was sooo excited!  I was very pleasantly surprised to see all the toys made by JAKKS Pacific.  They set it up in the house and have been enjoying it daily ever since.  JAKKS Pacific makes so many items that my kids would love to have like Disney items, Club Penguin, Cabbage Patch Kids & lots more!

  1. I have found that with my grand kids (5 and 2) Play Doh is the greatest thing to keep them busy and to let them really use their imaginations.

  10. Sit with my 5 year old to put him down for a nap while nursing my 6 month old to sleep…. then sneak downstairs for free time! Every time this is a success it’s like a mommy touchdown!

  12. I have a creativity time that I tell my daughter I need help for 30 mins for her to decorate papers by coloring, and drawing. She always loves helping momma( hehe)

  19. Now that the weather is nice, the little one and i go out side, he can run on the grass and play for hours and i can sit in the chaise and relax while reading a book.

  21. We have a small kids size craft table in the family room that my kids stay occupied at for long periods. We have construction paper, scissors, glue sticks, glitter, beads, buttons and many other items that they can use. Keeps them busy for hours at a time.

  28. Matchbox cars, I keep new ones in my purse, car and in the house. There is alway some place to race them.

  37. My tip for keeping my kids entertained is my sensory tub. It’s a clear tub with either oats, beans, rice, sand, etc. in it as well as cups, spoons, and odds and ends to play with. They usually keep it pretty much in the tub, but I put a plastic table cloth under it to catch any spills. They could play with that for hours!

  44. My little one LOVES her baby dolls and stuff animals. She will line them up and feed them. So cute, and keeps her entertained for a long time.

  45. I give them drawing supplies and materials and ask them to draw me pictures of upcoming activities they want to do or that we can use fto make holiday cards

  47. Since we’re in the process of trying to sell our house so we can move to the city my husband is currently in (working), I have all 3 kids draw pictures, “write” letters and send him these letters. They concentrate on their work so hard and are so quiet, I usually schedule these times when I have an hour long class to teach online. Total silence! 🙂

  71. My son just loves Lego Ninjago!
    I’ll buy him one, store it, then let open it until I need some free time..keeps him occupied for hours.

  89. i always keep my kids entertained by planning out their day and introducing new toys or games to them often

  101. We keep a large beach sized bag full of “quiet time” toys and books. They don’t get to play with them everyday so it is a special treat when it gets pulled out and it keeps them occupied for at least an hour which gives me an hour of mommy time!

  114. Spend quality time with your kids earlier in the day so when you need some time to yourself they are satisfied (their love tanks are full) and they are more likely to go and play well together or on their own.

  119. I wear the kids out all day feed and bathe them then off to nighty night land and I take a moment before falling to sleep myself.

  126. I let my daughter play on starfall on the computer. It’s educational and fun and frees up some time for me to do housework!

  179. I would pop in one of their favorite movies and all 3 of my daughters would sit and watch it.

  183. Have my child lie down and make clouds. Put a tissue over his mouth and puff so it flies up. At 3 he is so calm in a silly way and loves doing over and over!

  185. Build a Bear! my daughter will dress the bears over and over again. we just stay stocked with clothes!
