Frugal Activities for your kids

Carpet Skating

One of the many things we do in our household for fun is "Carpet Skating". We remove all potential hazards from around or on a carpeted surface, and skate until we are so exsausted, we fall on the couch. This activity is so much fun, and such a wonderful time killer. My Children love it! 

What you need to do:

-Find a nice size area of carpet, and remove any potental hazards.
-Have your child put on shoes (and you too).
- Find some rope or I use a hair band. (if you have some scrunchies lying around, those are wonderful to use.)
- Cover each child's foot/shoes with wax paper and secure at the ankle. If you use two sheets of wax paper, it becomes more slippery.
- Skate away! 

note: For your toddlers first time carpet skating, make sure you stay close by them ready to catch them in a fall until they get the hang of it.
