Wacky Wednesday Ideas for Your Family

By Kim French, Publisher Mom, Macaroni Kid Portland January 29, 2014
It's Wacky Wednesday!  You're receiving your Sunday edition of Macaroni Kid on a Wednesday, but that's not enough to make it Wacky Wednesday, now is it?  No way!  As you can see from the picture, my daughter decided to wear mismatched patterns on her clothes, keep her coat on inside, AND she's wearing MY boots around the house!  Silly kid!  

Here are some other ways to make it a Wacky Wednesday at your house:

  • serve breakfast for dinner
  • change the sheets and pillows so the kiddos sleep in the opposite direction
  • wear mismatched clothes and/or put them on backwards
  • create silly hair-dos
  • turn things inside out and upside down
  • lead the children on a Wacky Wednesday scavenger hunt by moving things around in the house and putting them where they're not supposed to be and see if they can find them all
  • kids do grown-up chores, grown-ups do kid chores (within safety parameters, of course!)
  • read Wacky Wednesday by Dr. Seuss
  • let your child dress as the opposite gender, or even as mom or dad!
  • find things that start with "W" 
  • take some time to make silly drawings
  • create artwork from random household items and/or craft supplies
Have fun!
