Activity ideas with my Nieces and Nephew

Support

Hello lovely people! I have 2 nieces (9 and 4) and a nephew (7). I have been mostly bedridden the last two years and really miss spending time with family, espeically the little ones. They are growing up SO fast!

I am looking for activity ideas to spend some quality time with them that have varying levels of participation on my part. For example: a baking day with assistance from my husband. Depending on how im doing I could be fully involved with the entire process, or if needed sit in my chair and assist with mixing or chopping while seated.

Luckily I have my husband to assist for most things, but the important thing was thinking of ideas where if im well that day I can really particpate, or if im not well I can still be involved without canceling.

Just for reference, on good days I can stand and move around for a few hours (as long as there arent stairs involved!). On bad days I mostly have to stay seated or reclined. And as I am sure you all know I cant predict when either will happen 😅

Thank you everyone! <3
