Hard to believe that it\u2019s been fourteen years since we first started this website for parents. So many things have changed since then. Our kids have gotten older, that\u2019s for sure and our experiences have grown as individuals and as a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fun fact:<\/strong> My husband is now a little part of behind the scenes on our site as well as my kids. <\/p>\n\n\n There\u2019s one thing that hasn\u2019t changed and that\u2019s my passion for creating for you fun ideas to do with your kids. Sharing ways to ensure you\u2019re able to give them just what they need to grow and become smart, happy, and loved kids. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n I was looking through our 1500+ kids activities on our site from over the years and found that there are some things our website’s visitors like you are often drawn towards. I thought it might be fun to do a top 10 activities for our 13th birthday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019d love to know which post is your favorite from the site, so please leave us a comment to let us know. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Top 10 Activities from The Educators\u2019 Spin On It since July 12, 2011\u2026. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Go ahead and click on each of the highlight links to check out these fun kids activities or take a look below and click on the images for more info. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One thing I noticed as I looked through remembering all our ideas from over the years is that you are drawn to similar topics again and again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And a lovely surprise topic….Kindness Activities <\/p>\n\n\n\n I thought it might be fun to share with your our top kids activities for creative ideas to do with your child at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/strong>50+ Stem Activities<\/a> Eric Carle Activities<\/a> 40+ Easter Activities for Kids<\/a> Drip Painting Rainbow Fun<\/a> Ball Games for Kids<\/a> Teddy Bear Picnic Dessert<\/a> Kindness Songs<\/a> Raising a Strong Willed Child<\/a> Here’s a fun little breakdown by year which kids activity was the most popular on The Educators’ Spin On It. Which one is your favorite?<\/strong> Leave a comment below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2012 – Eric Carle Activities<\/a> This post 30+ Virtual Field Trips for Kids<\/a> took off in March of 2020 and has been a big hit with visitors ever since. Be sure to grab the printable Travel Log<\/a> too for your child to track their virtual tours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s now our MOST POPULAR POST on our site!!! <\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019d also like to give a big thanks to the following top websites that have sent us new visitors from their sites over the past fourteen years. I feel so lucky to call each of these site owners and bloggers my friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They share such creative ideas for parents and are amazingly talented individuals personally. I’ve been very lucky to have had the chance to meet each of them in person at conferences where I attended as a speaker to teach about Pinterest Marketing<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many other sites along with these top 9 listed on our list of Top Female Bloggers You Need to Know<\/a><\/strong>, be sure to check out the others too as you explore new activity ideas for your child. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the coolest things that happened from our website is that our publisher reached out to use to write a book called 100 Fun and Easy Learning Games for Kids<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then we got invited to contribute to a 2nd book called The Big Book of Kids Activities. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fun Activities for Kids Will Keep Them Entertained for Hours!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Stuck at home with the kids and have nothing to do? It\u2019s easier than you think to grab a few supplies and let their creativity shine. These fun activities for kids are easy, DIY, and can mostly be done with everyday items that you have around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve got your recipe for happy kids. Best of all, none of our fun activities require an electronic device or an app, so you don\u2019t have to worry about too much screen time.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n For more ideas for at home please check out our website with over 1000 Kids Activities<\/a>. You can explore them by topic or by age by using our menus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then grab a copy of our book 100 Fun and Easy Learning Games for Kids<\/a> <\/strong>OR our The Big Book of Kids Activities<\/a> <\/strong>on Amazon! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you so much for helping us celebrate 14 years of kids’ activities at The Educators’ Spin On It!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Explore our top fun activities for kids at home with these creative ways to keep the kids entertained and sneak in a little learning too!
