Grand spinners from Krokotak!

I'm always on the lookout for cool and creative crafts for kids. My grandkids in particular. Because the majority of my grandkiddos live more than 800 miles away, I rarely execute said crafts with my grandsons, but I do love to collect ideas for "one day." (Much like I collect cookbooks and recipes... yet make the same standards again and again.)

Anyway, if you like Grandma's Briefs on Facebook, you may already know one of my favorite sources for clever activities for kids is Krokotak. I'm not sure what the name means or who's behind the magic, but I love Krokotak so. 

So when James had a few hours to kill during our final week of me pitching in on summer caregiving, I showed him this Krokotak video I had seen on Facebook... and he was immediately game to give it a spin (see what I did there):

James being the practical kiddo he is felt there must be a reason for the spinners, a purpose. So he promptly decided the spinners would be his push up timers, challenging him to do as many push ups as he could before the spinners stopped.

Best way ever to combine crafts and calisthenics, I'd say.
