We asked the Been There Done That Squad some of their favourite screenless acitivities and they answered…
Elizabeth
We love playing games together while we sit around the table or on the living room floor. We also love giving our kids mini manicures or petite pedicures. Watching them giggle and squirm as they have their little toes tickled while their hands and feet are rubbed and treated never ceases to make my heart happy. Our total favourite, though… having wild dance parties in our living room. Throw in a package of glow sticks, crank the tunes and we always have a great time and get our bodies movin’!

Playing board games or going to watch a sporting event. Now that the littlest ones are just a bit older, I would like to take in more local sports this year.
Francy
Elliott loves to visit the downtown library, pick as many books as he can imagine, and sit in the family corner to read.
Alison
Our favourite non-screen time activities can be split into home, and outings. At home, we love to play games, whether it’s hide and seek, or M is teaching K to play chess! For outings, we love the climbing gym, swimming, or just browsing the books at Chapter’s.

Winter Outings: Been There Done That

The Been There Done That Squad recently answered their favourite winter outings. There are lots of good ideas in here!!
Angela
Well I’d like to say that going sledding is the favourite activity and it probably is, except for the fact that no matter how many layers I put on, I am always freezing. But the kids have a blast and the smiles on their faces and the deep laughter you can hear as they zoom down the hill is worth it so I will take one for the team! Too bad there’s not much for snow this year!
Francy
Our favorite winter activity these days is at Paul Lake Provincial Park! We park at the top gate, and bring our sled (usually snow up there!) and our little guy sleds down to the lake. We like to have a picnic down at the lake. He is pretty good about hiking back up, with a little bit of pulling on the sled from Dad.
Alison
This year we took the boys to Harper Mountain for some tubing, and it was a hit with K! He is now old enough that he can do the whole “loop” himself. We all went together a few times, with someone helping R, but K was really independent and loved it. He has been asking when we can go back. Another winter outing that I want to get back to is cross-country skiing. We haven’t been yet with the boys, but I started when I was only 4, so I figure now would be a great time to start them. And financially, it’s so much cheaper than downhill! With Stake Lake so close, and nearby schools we can venture to, it’s an easy outing – of course, some snow would help!!

We were chilling out at home and I wanted to give my kids something interesting to do so that I could have a few minutes to get some work done, so we whipped up these little babies….
