Below is a list of activities and games I've though of/ read of/ seen, which moms can do with kids. While taking up some time in an interminably long day is part of it, these things may even inspire creativity and imagination, or stimulate intellectual/emotional development and offer energy release leading to a good night’s sleep!
Things to do outdoors-
Draw with chalk on the pathway/stairs
Explore objects frozen in ice
Get artistic with shaving cream
Play basketball with a laundry basket
Enjoy a teddy bear picnic
Good ol’ catchers
In the Kitchen-
Cut sandwich shapes with dough/cookie cutters
Decorate rice cakes with cream cheese and raisins
Drum up a kitchen band
General-
Stick and find stickers on body parts
Stack blocks
Draw a car track on large paper/cardboard
Lace paper plates through punched holes
Make puppets by drawing on glove or sewing on sock
Play "Mr postman"- shoebox with openings and cardboard pieces
Those are the ideas so far, maybe other moms or creative thinkers can add to the list
