Daily Idea #133: Bedsheet Parachute

I remember when I was little that any time a colorful parachute was brought out I knew something fun was going to happen. Well, we don’t have a giant parachute at home, but we do have top sheets (lots and lots of them since my kids don’t use them on their beds).

Today we are pulling out a top sheet, each of us is grabbing a corner, and we are shaking til out hearts’ content. Each person can pick out a stuffed animal to place in the middle and we can either try to shake them out of the parachute or try to keep them in the parachute. We don’t have enough small balls with which to do this same thing, but we may use small pillows or paper crushed into balls. You can even take turns sitting under the para”sheet” and shaking it.
