Tape! We got my son a roll of blue tape and just let him use the rooms we weren’t busy in to play. He made elevated highways, sculptures, tried to wrap the cat (okay that might not have been the best idea on his part), and a few maps on the floor. It kept him busy for hours.

Also get a few extra boxes for playing with and let them at it with markers and the same tape.

Hmmm, not sure. Anything small, heavy and round. Maybe something cylindrical would work. Let me know if you come up with anything that works! It would be handy for lots of people I’m sure!

Hey Joel, thanks for this great activity! Is there an alternative to marbles? We do not have any at the house right now. Thanks!

bienvenue to your new home!
it’s so funny we’re going to move to a bigger house too, although only accross town, this summer…but it’s our first move with kids, so all the comments that you recieved, are such a great insight for us as well :)
as a child with my parents we moved around a lot and due to that we changed several times school…I remember it as something exciting and very enriching, my parents were always very positive about it and so we only saw it as something good too…
for our first own move as a family, the boys are very excited but also confused (we looked for a house for over a year…), so I already asked them what color they would like in their room…they were very enthousiastic about that and I hope that during the little renovations we’ll have to do ourselves they have time to take possession of their new place…our oldest already wants to start ripping of the ugly carpet :)
all the best with getting setteld! cécile

I’m a new follower, so glad to find you. I don’t have kids or grandkids to enjoy your drawings, so guess I’ll have to do it myself! Wish more people would do things like this, as a teacher I see the lack of creativity as a real problem for kids personally and for our collected futures. Keep up the great work!

Bonjour ! Our two years old loves playing with house made with a box during days and weeks. We decorate it together. For our next move in I think that now she is almost three the house would move in in all the rooms so that she moves as/where she wants (in the new house). We found books to read concerning moving in for our last time, most in french. Here are two books our daughter really loved and appreciated the time we were with boxes and the truck all around. We used the pictures we talked together about not the text for most of them. Probably you can find the first one in english : “La famille souris déménage”, Kazuo Iwamura ; “Tom déménage”, Christophe Le Masne (very realistic). We also decorated the door of the rooms with drawings, paintings.
Have a nice moving in !
Amandine.

I spent my entire childhood moving and it wasn’t a good thing for me. I don’t know how old your kids are, so I just ask that you respect how traumatic it can be to be removed from everything familiar. I would do their spaces first with all their favorite things, so that have a sense of home. But most of all understand that it can take quite some time for the anxiety moving causes to subside, no matter how they might appear outwardly.

I don’t know how far your new house is from your old house, but I think it’s helpful to make an over-sized map of your new area/neighborhood with your kids. Use your cardboard moving boxes to make a bulletin board style map that you can add too with push pins if you want, or alternatively a carpet style map for the floor. You could even recreate some of the buildings with smaller cereal boxes, and make it a play scape for dolls and cars. Keep adding to it over time and mark special family named landmarks (like the house with the black eyed dog), playgrounds, new restaurants, etc. You will have a great time exploring your new neighborhood.
