The Jump Janger


"Watch me sink my hands into the blanket like a lion sinking his teeth into a wildebeest." This is a direct and precise quote from James - can you believe him...this is quite the simile...

He invented the "Jump Janger" today - which is basically the same thing children have done for ages...piling pillows and blankets and jumping into them. At my Grandma's House we piled at the bottom of the stairs - it was always fun! And today it proved to fill two solid hours of good fun...so, if anyone's desperate - Jump Janger is brilliant.

I'd forgotten what a simile even was! Thanks, James!

The Plummer version of this game (invented by Ed) is after you have layed out all the pillows, etc. you have your children run across the pile while you try to trip them up with a ball. Not the safest thing in the world, but fun, fun, fun!
