Hip Dysplasia - Ideas on keeping kids occupied

Ideas on how to keep kids occupied while they are in a spica cast -

These are things that keep Kylee entertained daily.

* Arts and crafts - the dollar store or a craft store are great places to go to for all sorts of arts and crafts supplies! The possibilities with this are endless! which is a great thing! ;)

* Colouring books, markers, crayons - stickers, stamps, paints, playdough/modeling clay, construction paper, pipe cleaners, googly eyes, feathers, foam shapes, etc..

* A countdown chart - we made one that is a countdown til Cast OFF!!! :) and everyday let the child decorate the box in with stickers :)

* DVD's - child's favourite shows or movies - 

* Reading Books/Educational Books 

* Puzzles

* Dolls, Cars ... toys that are easily accessible are best

* Leappad Explorer - depending on the age, i'd say children 4 and up this would be great for, you can purchase educational & fun games - There are other kinds of Vtech/Leapfrog products for younger and older ages, check out your local toystore.

*Any educational toys -anytime is a great time for them to learn!

* Having friends and family to visit
