Sick Day Activities

No parent wants to see their little one sick but that flu season always seems to make a stop at your home! Having a Sick Day Activities Kit stashed away is always a great idea to try to brighten your little one’s day while he’s stuck indoors.

There are so many fun ideas for packing a sick day activities kit!

• coloring books
• crayons
• Play-Doh
• a new movie
• microwavable popcorn
• bubbles
• temporary tatoos
• stickers
• small toys & games
• band-aids and small stuffed animals they can help nurse back to health
• small pill containers filled with jelly beans

I’ve created this free printable for your sick day activities kit. It includes a label for the top of your kit, labels for jelly bean pill bottles, and a recipe for Feeling Better Juice. Be sure to pack some candy lemon slices and a silly straw for your juice recipe.

The jelly bean pill bottle labels are for Giggle Pills (perfect to eat while watching a funny movie), Silly Pills (perfect for eating while playing a fun game) and Creative Pills (perfect for eating when creating craft masterpieces).

Some other fun ideas for keeping entertained on a sick day are:

• having a bath with unlimited bubbles
• creating a movie snack bowl craft and watching some new or favorite movies
• Play-Doh creations
• playing boardgames
• playing card games
• starting a sticker book
• making a collage of things you like using old magazines and newspapers
• building blocks
• creating an indoor fort to take a nap in
• completing a word search puzzle (click here for free printables)
• hosting a fun tea party for all your toys
• having an indoor picnic of chicken noodle soup and juice
• reading your favorite books

Other than curling up in bed with a cozy blanket, what are your favorite sick day activities?
