Play ideas for chronically ill, disabled, or otherwise bed bound/low energy littles

Hi all! I am chronically ill. I am not comfortable sharing my specific diagnosis, but I am more than okay with talking about disability in general. Everything below is based on my own personal experiences and activities I like to do while stuck in bed. Everyone's body and experiences are different. I may list some things that just aren't an option for you, and that's okay. You are more than welcome to add on to this post with activities you do too!

🐛 Open the curtains and cloud watch! I like to look for clouds that remind me of animals or characters and day dream a story about them. If the weather is nice, consider opening your window a little bit and letting some fresh air into your room.

🐦 Bird watch! I have a bird feeder outside my window that I painted myself from a kid's kit. There are also bird feeders that have suction cups that can be stuck right on your window. You can also make your own seed ornaments. You could pick yourself up a kids book or two on learning to identify birds.

🌷 Get a window planter. You may need someone's help to set one up, but once they are in place they are fairly easy to care for. I like pansies and marigolds because they remind me of childhood, and they are low maintenance and do well in containers.

📖 Audiobooks are great for middles who want to read chapter books. If you have a library card you can borrow tons of audiobook, ebooks, and comics through hoopla and Libby for free. There are some audiobooks for younger kiddo books, but honestly I think YouTube is better for that.

🖼️ Scrapbooks and journals! Being penpals with another little is also an option, but I do recommend using basic internet safety and common sense. (I don't think you should do this if you are under 18). You could always scan/take pictures of your letter and send it digitally to your penpal instead.

🛏️ If you spend a lot of time in bed, and have the money to do so, I really recommend getting items to make your time in bed more comfortable. Extra pillows, or even a reading pillow can be helpful. Lap desks or bed tables can give you space to color or set up play scenes with small toys.

🌟 You can also decorate the area around your bed to make it more child like! Fairy lights, glow in the dark stars, bed canopies, posters, and the like.

🪑 I have a floor chair I use for times I am playing outside of my bed. Being close to the floor helps me feel small, but not having back support hurts after a short while. I have an adjustable one that I can lay flat on the floor as a sleeping mat. Very helpful for the times when I need a quick nap after playtime.

🎨 Check the seasonal and kids sections at dollar stores and Five Below. I usually find fun craft kits that can keep me occupied for a bit for really cheap.

🧶 Do your own crafts! I like the knit and crochet. Some people can do them in bed, but I find it difficult to find a comfortable way to do that. However making friendship bracelets in bed works out pretty well. They make great gifts, even for non little friends. Or you could make matching ones for you and your CG or favorite plushie!

🪀 Make your own sensory bin! You can find tons of tutorials and ideas online. Bonus is you can get most of the items you would use at the dollar store. There are tons of other DIY sensory toys you can make as well if you look around. Glitter/shaker bottles are pretty popular too.

🐇 Cuddle with your stuffed animals. Tell them stories. Play pretend. Read to them. They will appreciate all of it.

🎮 If you have an old 3DS stuffed away in a drawer somewhere, pull it back out. 3DS are fairly easy to install homebrew and there are toooons of kiddo friendly games you could get (check 3ds.hacks.guide for this, do not follow tutorials on YouTube or random websites as they very well could be outdated)

💊 Decorate your medicine organizers with stickers. If you use mobility aids you can decorate them as well! Fake flowers are great for decorating mobility aids and there are tons of ideas you can find online.

🍼 I have stomach problems that makes it hard for me to eat enough. I often drink Ensure to make sure I am getting enough calories/nutrients. I get the strawberry flavor and sometimes put it in my sippy cup and pretend it is strawberry milk 😋

😴 If you need rest, rest! You deserve to get as much sleep as your body needs. Babies and toddlers take naps all the time! Trying to just exist with chronic health issues is difficult enough. You don't need to push yourself.

stuffie that i got recently!!

him name is briar :3

vent incoming

i'm having a hard time explaining how i'm feeling, so i don't really know how this is gonna go. but i need to talk about it because i don't have therapy for a few more days.

i was really depressed for a really long time. like, i don't remember the last time i was as fine as i am right now. and like, i'm not happy. i'm very middle of the road. and somehow i almost feel worse than i did when i was super depressed? but different. i don't know. it's very confusing and i don't like it. like, emotionally i'm doing better, but it still feels very much like something is missing. and i'm trying to figure out what it is that is going to get me from fine to happy, but i don't know what it is.

and i keep wishing for things to be different, but like, would i even be happier if things were different? if i had everything i wanted and lived the way i wanted and looked the way i wanted, would it ever be enough? am i just stuck this way? basically, the mood is giving the song wondering by olivia rodrigo and julia lester.

fugking love it here!!!!!!!!!

⟡ It's okay if you struggle to fully regress or are unable to regress at all.

⟡ Age regression doesn't always come easy, and you don't need to be able to regress in order to be valid.

⟡ Your experiences are just as important, and you're still a valid and welcomed member in the community, remember that ❤️

looook at her 😭😭😭 I think the peak of webkinz was after my own virtual pet phase but I have to admit the physical plushies are surprisingly well designed AND made for a web game tie-in toy line. I might...... get a couple more. Later.

basics with pumpkin 𖤣.𖥧.𖡼.⚘

sometimes people don’t know to do the basic things of life + that’s completely okay! i’m going to do my best to explain the basic day to day things for the little ones who need it <3.

this one was requested on babble talk !!

today’s task : flossing

flossing can be really confusing to understand, i know i struggle with at times too !! - so here are miss pumpkin's tips + explanation !! ♡

🦷 the right size of floss would be around 45 centimeters (18 iches) !!

🦷 once you've cut it to size, wrap the floss around one of your forefingers (index or 'pointing' finger) + hold the floss tight between your forefinger + thumb on your other hand.

🦷 the length should be long enough to reach each front, middle + back tooth!!

🦷 hold the floss tight + move it towards your teeth.

🦷 place the floss gently between the tooth + pull down. - the floss should slot down between the side of the tooh and the gum line (be gentle!)

🦷 use a gentle rocking motion to get all the little icky bits stuck in between the teeth + should also help you prevent any unneccessary irritation to the gums.

i hoped this helps sweetpeas !! ♡
