M was on the couch all day today with a stomach bug. She slept a lot, but after a while she got to the point where she could use a diversion. We decided to pretend to go to the beach! So, with a couple of magazines, construction paper, and a pair of scissors, we were off!
I asked for M's advice in deciding on the colors, content and positioning of the different elements. We had fun talking about the beach while I was making the scene, and then afterward, it gave her something to look at and think about when I couldn't be with her.
Any other suggestions for fun scenes to make the next time M is sick?

Not quite the same but .. . .I have a small container with magnets and magnetix and large washers etc in it. It is usually in our To Go bag. But for some reason (probably because it is not out and played with regularly) it is a HUGE hit and always fun to play with.
You are such a great Mom! :)
We've printed out pictures of family members' faces on sticker paper, then stuck them on the pages of different magazines (especially FamilyFun). It was a really fun & silly activity. I had to cut out the stickers, though, since the sticker paper wasn't perforated.
What a fun idea!
