I was caught short the other day when it started bucketing down with rain and I could not imagine anything less appealing than taking the kids to the playground. So what could I do to keep them busy and stop them from going crazy being locked in a flat for a whole day?
I had run out of play dough, read all the books I could read and had already exhausted the crayon option… Then I suddenly remembered my mother making us potato stamps when we were kids! It was an instant hit. Half a potato and some rough carving later produced a stamp that fit perfectly into my daughter’s hand, and she and her friend spent hours stamping every possible piece of paper I could find!
