Whether it's for your curious babies, energetic toddlers, or creative kiddos, we've got playful ideas to keep them entertained and learning.
Crafting with Straws, Feathers, and Tissues!
Gently tickle your baby with the feather, moving it across their little body while naming each spot you touch. Say things like, "Here's a tickle for your tiny toes," or "Now we're tickling your chubby cheeks!" It's a fun way to help your baby learn their body parts while sharing giggles!

Place the feather inside the straw and hold it in front of your baby, encouraging them to pull it out. Ask sweetly for the feather back, slip it back inside, and repeat the game. In between, use the feather to gently tickle them and name different body parts, like "Tickling your tiny fingers!" or "Here comes a tickle for your soft cheeks!”

Place the feather inside the straw and hold it out for your baby to grab. Let them pull the feather out, then ask for it back with a smile, and slip it back inside the straw. Repeat the fun, and in between, use the feather to tickle them while naming the body parts, like "Tickling your little toes!" or "Here comes a feather for your cute nose!" Keep the giggles going with each round!

Encourage your toddler to place the feather inside the straw and pull it out again, repeating the fun game. Give simple instructions like, “Now tickle your toes!” or “Try tickling your nose!” to keep them engaged and playful. For more giggles, have your toddler lie on their tummy and place a tissue in front of them, letting them blow it away. Afterward, let them tear the tissue into small pieces, exploring new textures and having fun with every rip!

Lay out feathers and straws in matching colors, and let your child sort them by color, placing each feather into the corresponding straw. Make it fun by saying things like, "Tickle your toes!" or "Try tickling your ears!" Next, have your child lie on their tummy, place a tissue in front of them, and let them blow it away. Once the tissue is torn into small pieces, use them for a creative art activity by sticking the pieces onto paper with glue.
