the winter of cards

the winter weather keeps us inside a lot and that can get old after awhile with 2 small ones. one thing we found is that Mayden is old enough to play cards with us! Cam has actually played a little Uno from time to time but one round is usually more than enough for him. he has trouble with color recognition (not that he can't do it, he just doesn't want to do it) so the game is great for him. not only have we been playing tons of Uno but Chris taught her poker & war and she got a game called Slamwich we've been playing too. 'twas the winter of cards! 

typically after i put Cam to bed May and I will play a bunch of rounds until her bedtime.

We found that playing board games really ramped up Nick's math skills!

We've played cards a lot too. and a lot of crafting, creating silly things out of scraps.

Any other tips on how to entertain a 5 year old!?
