10 ways to entertain young children for $1 or less (without the TV)

What struck me first was the title.

First $1 or less.

Second without the TV.

Move over Tickle Me Elmo or Lego building blocks or computer games. It’s grateful to realize that you can still do something with young children without burning a hole in your pocket and TV.

Some of them are classic games that I used to play before, of course, when I was younger. They are still fun even at my age now.

  Hi Abel
yep, the title did it for me too.

I used to put some honey on my kids hands and then give them a couple of feathers we'd picked up off the ground. What a hoot! The kids would spend ages trying to get the feathers anywhere but their hands! It was a game to see if the feather would stick to Mummy's head!!!

The other one that was a favourite was putting ice cubes into a bucket of water and having races to see who could empty their bucket of ice cubes, with their toes only, first. This one is a hot weather game and because of the water needs full adult supervision.
It was GREAT FUN.
