Lolo’s Lemonade Playdough

How adorable is the presentation of this Lemon Scented play dough. The shame is that even at just $1 no one wanted to buy it so it was all given away. Want to know more about the Lolo Lemonade Stand then check out the blog LoLovie.

My daughter has bugged me for a Lemonade stand since she read a book that featured it. Last Christmas she sat outside selling handmade Christmas cards and spicy nuts. Her piggy bank grew to $30 but her ideas grew bigger. I have since had to calm her desire to sell anything/everything out on the street. She once packaged up a heap of copyrighted magazine pages and wondered why I would not let her sell them. Instead Grandma bought all her supply and kept the plagiarism secret in the family.

When my daughter was younger I would spend a lot of time trying to come up with activities she could do in the car on long road trips and things to entertain her when we were waiting at restaurants and things that didn’t involve screens.

But it turns out there are a lot of great activities you can do with just a piece of paper and a pen.

What Do We Do All Day has a great collection of pen and paper games, including some that can be done with just one person, though they’re all more fun if you have at least two.

There are some classics on here like hangman and dots and boxes, but there are also quite a few I hadn’t heard of before.

I don’t want to spoil the whole list for you because you should definitely click over there and look around, but I will share about the one that you see pictured above.

This game is called Bridges, and you start by making the big random shape and the dividing it into a bunch of sections (the post says 30-50 sections is ideal but I think this one is smaller than that).

Each player gets their own color marker and you take turns drawing bridges from one space to another, crossing a third. Once there’s a bridge, no other bridges can start, end or cross in those spaces. Keep going until no more bridges can be built, and the person who makes the last bridge wins.

Check out the post over at What We Do All Day for more great ideas for no or almost-no prep games you can play with your kids or that kids can play together. I’d love to know if you have a favorite paper and pen game, whether it’s on this list or a different one.
