Recommended Reads – Winter with kids… ideas to while away the bad weather

For the most amazing collection of ideas for play time visit the recently launched Playopedia @ Childhood 101. It’s full of fantastic fun both indoor and out – fortunately in Cape Town even though it’s winter we still have a few sunny days in between the rain to get outside! Enjoy this fantastic resource.

And here are a few other great websites for indoor activites and playtime ideas especially for those days when everyone is bouncing off the walls!
