5 Foodie Ways to Get the Kids Through Witching Hour

5 Foodie Ways to Get the Kids Through Witching Hour Guest post by Simone Emery from Play with Food. My favourite tool to have in my parenting arsenal is a good afternoon tea. A good afternoon tea sets the kids up for a decent window of opportunity to be productive without the “I’m bored” and “I’m hungry” complaints during the witching hour*. *Actually, let’s be honest it should read hours. Next to afternoon tea is having something ready to occupy the youngsters. (Unless homework is in the picture for you and that is causing a whole lot of other “fun” at your place.) Here are 5 foodie ideas to get through the afternoon that don’t require too much preparation. You should have most of the ingredients / resources on hand. Play with food 1.

*Review* Funky Elephant – Trunk Full of Fun!

I cannot describe how excited the boys were to find this parcel was delivered for them. A very special delivery just for them! A big thank you to the wonderful new company Funky Elephant for the trunk full of fun. It kept the kids amused and highly entertained while giving me a chance to get a few things done. What is Funky Elephant you ask?   Well it is essentially a box filled to the brim with activities tailor made for 3-7 year olds. It can be purchased as a subscription of 2, 6 or 12 months. You will receive a new box full each month. They also offer a sibling package so you can get enough materials for another child for only $8 more.    Lions in the Making! ROAR.  The activities are gender friendly while allowing children to embrace their imagination and enjoy progressive play. These Funky Elephant trunks are…
