January Fun!

Amy at Serving Pink Lemonade shares a fun way to jazz up January by filling 21 envelopes with activities that she can do with her children each weekday of the month. 

I love this idea and created a list of our own January activities.   

I color coded them into two categories: weekday and weekend activities.  I wanted easy activities that can be done in the evening and then more elaborate activities that could be done on the weekends. 

I only chose to do ten this month since I'm starting halfway through.  I wrote the ten activities on notecards and placed them in a wooden square box I found at Michael's for $1.  (I decoupaged the wooden box with scrapbook paper).  I put a magnetic strip on the box and placed it on the side of my refrigerator.  

Now everyday we can choose an activity to do:  The green ones are for the weekend and the blue ones are for weeknights.  Most of the blue ones can be repeated so I can put them back in the box.
