18 Things I Do that my Young Kids Think are Hilarious

20 Things I Do that my Young Kids Think are Hilarious

1. Make animal noises. Its not always the same noise that they think is hilarious, so I keep plenty of animal noises in my repertoire
2. I do Silly dances. I twirl the boys around, and they don’t seem to think it gets old. This can sometimes tone down a temper tantrum where tickling would make my two-year-old angry if he’s already upset.
3. Tickles! This works if they’re in a good mood. Our boys are ridiculously ticklish, so this is an easy one. Also, a good distraction when they ask me for something I don’t want them to have.
4. Blowing Bubbles
5. Doing a “man” voice. I already have a deep voice, so it’s not too hard to pull this off. Our two-year-old enjoys it. I do a very good Count from Sesame Street.
6. I do a decent Elmo voice… this one can be funny for them, but they have to be in the mood for sure.
7. Coloring. I color something then ask Cole what I drew… he almost always gets it right and then laughs when I go on-and-on about what a smart boy he is.
8. Foot races through our place are a huge hit here. I tag Cole and then rawrrrrr like a lion and then he chases me and rawwrrrrrrs before he runs the other way. Its a fun take on tag for little kids that enjoy sound effects. It’s also a fun activity to stay busy and get a little workout during winter months when we’re inside a lot more.
9. selfies! We love taking photos together, or better still, videos. When we do a video, I play it back to him a bunch. He will often say exactly what he was saying in the video, even if it was just jibberish… this makes me laugh as much as it does them.
10. Silly Faces! I make some silly faces and some scary faces, and all are received as being funny. Kids love faces!
11. Acting out music videos. Our two-year-Old’s screen time is largely Pentatonix videos on YouTube. We do the dances and make silly facial expressions for some. When he knows he’s “nailed it, it makes him laugh.
12. Surprise! I jump out and yell surprise. Alex does this too. Its one of the more entertaining games for both boys.
13. Pillow Fight. We don’t do this very hard, because they’re little, but this is pretty fun.
14. Zerberts! These are fun on cheeks and tummies!
15. Jump in Puddles on a Rainy Day.
16. Swing HIGH on the swings! Our guys still use the baby swings, so this is pretty safe. I wouldn’t recommend this more small children on regular swings unless you are prepared to catch your flying baby.
17. Piggyback Rides!
18. Peek-a-boo This is big with our Ten-month-old more than our two-year-old. Time tested!
