Boredom Buster Description:
Light a "campfire" in the fireplace, lay out the sleeping bags on the family room floor or if you have some extra space, set up a small tent. Then let the indoor campout begin. Not only is this loads of fun for cold weather nights but it's also perfect for those wee ones not yet ready to tame the great outdoors. If you've got plenty of extra adults supervising, throw down a tarp to protect the carpet and cook dinner over the campfire. Top it off with S'mores. Try a progressive ghost story in which each child adds his own scene. Then break out a guitar (or a CD with some classic campfire tunes!) and let a soothing singalong lull little ones to sleep.
