I have all kinds of yard activities set up during the spring, for my group....then as "Summer Dragon" starts to rear its ugly head and roast us all with fire breathing heat waves, out come all the water features they all love. We also have a heavy duty fishing rod that I attach a stuffed sock to and cast it out and reel it in....they go NUTS over that!!!...I really need to come up with things for a winter activity center....it seldom gets below 40* here....maybe 36*.....no snow.....any ideas for DRY winter games for my group, that does not involve water features? I do have a bubble machine they love, but that just keeps them busy for about 30-40 minutes....I bought a clear plastic ball you put a gerbil or hamster in so it can run all over your house....I put a frog or lizard in it and they chase that around the yard/patio for a while, then we let the frog or lizard go, unharmed and also ready for a quiet nap hidden in the small area where I have plants that the babies cant get to..... Occasionally, squirrels will come out and play with the dogs...running just out of reach along the top of the fence, and going from tree to tree....so I guess they are getting enough movement out there....I am open to any other suggestions for winter games....
