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.

i do not read long fanfics because i don’t have the patience for it but somehow this one i managed to read with tears 😭💔 grief is never easy to deal with no matter how much time passes by.

every year in the summer is where you train to be an avenger, all children through the ages 14-18 train and strengthen their powers, all throughout the summer there’s training courses where you use your powers to get ranked and if you fail to get ranked high enough towards the end of the months [ ex. if you’re rank is low by the end of june ] then you’ll be deemed for more training instead of moving up. For those moving up, there will be a event / party for those who will be advancing into the next step of training. Each month will advance to harder training and if every child continues to advance there will be more celebratory events and activities, at the end of the training there will be a big fight where you will fight someone closer in rank with yours.

Luke 2 - retold version

The Birth of Jesus

At that time, the Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus issued a decree that everyone in the empire must be registered in a census. This meant that each person had to travel to their ancestral hometown.

Joseph, a descendant of King David, lived in Nazareth in Galilee. He went to Bethlehem, David’s hometown, with Mary, who was engaged to him and expecting a child.

While they were there, the time came for Mary to give birth. She gave birth to her firstborn son, wrapped him in strips of cloth, and laid him in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Shepherds and the Angels

That night, some shepherds were staying out in the fields nearby, watching over their flocks. Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone all around them. The shepherds were terrified, but the angel said, “Don’t be afraid! I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. Today, in Bethlehem, a Savior has been born. He is the Messiah, the Lord. You will find him wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Then, a vast host of angels appeared, praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.”

When the angels returned to heaven, the shepherds said, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened!” They hurried to the village and found Mary and Joseph, with the baby lying in the manger.

After seeing him, the shepherds told everyone what the angel had said about this child. All who heard their story were amazed. Mary treasured these things in her heart and thought about them often. The shepherds went back to their fields, praising God for everything they had seen and heard.

Jesus Presented at the Temple

Eight days later, the baby was circumcised and officially named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he was conceived.

When the time came for Mary and Joseph to follow the purification laws, they brought Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem to dedicate him to the Lord, as the Law of Moses required. They offered a sacrifice of two doves or pigeons, which was the customary offering for those who couldn’t afford a lamb.

At the temple, there was a man named Simeon. He was righteous and devout, eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit had revealed to him that he wouldn’t die before seeing the Lord’s Messiah.

Moved by the Spirit, Simeon went to the temple. When Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to be dedicated, Simeon took the baby in his arms and praised God:

“Lord, now I can die in peace,

as You have promised.

I have seen Your salvation,

prepared for all people—

a light to reveal You to the nations,

and the glory of Your people Israel.”

Mary and Joseph were amazed at what Simeon said. Then Simeon blessed them and told Mary, “This child is destined to cause many in Israel to rise and fall. He will be a sign from God, but many will oppose him. And a sword will pierce your own soul, too.”

There was also a prophetess named Anna, an elderly widow who lived in the temple and worshiped God with fasting and prayer day and night. When she saw Jesus, she gave thanks to God and spoke about him to everyone waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

Jesus Returns to Nazareth

When Mary and Joseph had done everything required by God’s law, they returned to Nazareth in Galilee. Jesus grew up healthy and strong, filled with wisdom, and God’s favor was upon him.

The Boy Jesus in the Temple

Every year, Jesus’ parents traveled to Jerusalem for the Passover Festival. When Jesus was twelve years old, they went as usual. After the festival ended, they started their journey home, but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem without them realizing it.

Assuming he was with the group, they traveled for a day before they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. When they couldn’t find him, they returned to Jerusalem to search for him.

After three days, they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them, and asking questions. Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and answers.

When Mary and Joseph saw him, they were astonished. Mary said, “Son, why have you done this to us? Your father and I have been frantic, searching for you everywhere!”

Jesus replied, “Why were you searching for me? Didn’t you know I must be in my Father’s house?” But they didn’t fully understand what he meant.

Jesus returned to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. Mary treasured all these things in her heart.

Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.

some alternate things i scripted about the world in my kpop dr

i originally kept my dr the same as my cr. but when i grew out of that my obsession with world building and social science kicked in full force.

the world is futuristic. think love and deepspace esque. we have holograms, high speed travel and advanced energy production. everywhere is equally very developed, but all in a way that suits the culture & environment instead of working against it. the world is modern, beautiful & clean. everywhere is colorful. the world is vibrant, sleek, efficient, full of personality and perfectly balanced.

painting is a highly respected and popular profession since 2020. maximalist, unique, topical and expressive art. with lots of color and varying art styles. artists are able to reach the same levels of success as they couldve in the pre-modern times.

acoris. a spanish brand that sells non alcoholic beverages in various flavors. everyone uses it, its sold everywhere, and has an incomprehensibly large "fanbase". the drink itself gives people a restless high, and insane boosts of energy. though not addictive or classified as a drug (frequently debated).

in person shopping is more popular. high quality, dirt cheap, and somehow ethically sourced trendy clothing are sold in "mall brands". there are thousands of different "mall brands" across the world in every country. they have differing styles per region/brand image reflecting the trends, culture and local materials of the area.

im addicted to my phone and so is the majority of gen z. i want to script phones out entirely, but a modern idols lifestyle is heavy on social media. i settled for ambiguously saying theres little to no technology addiction.

the entire population has a elemental manipulation abilities tied directly to zodiac. for example scorpios have water powers & aries have fire. this has just always been a thing, but for years scientists have been stumped by why. on their own these abilities are weak, but can be stronger with training and teamwork. because of this, humanity as a whole is more connected to nature.

contemplating scripting antartica is fully populated and not frozen. itd be hyper futuristic and very diverse. possibly considered every countries property or something so you can just go in and out? thatd be such a mess but it seems fun.

i cant stop fucking shaking

She would see your lingering presence in everything. Her daily newspaper would bring back memories of you trying to understand what was written with your very basic knowledge of Russian. It warmed Zelda’s heart to hear your rough and often incorrect translations. She no longer enjoys sitting by the fire because she doesn’t have you leaning against her whilst reading a herbalism book. You were an avid reader, often researching rituals or learning about different incantations.

However she no longer enjoyed these little moments in her day, they were duller now that you were gone. Zelda smiles less, your laugh no longer echoes in the parlour. She has become withdrawn and icy again, your presence no longer softening her steely features, breaking down the walls that guard her heart so well. She would never admit to her broken heart but Hilda saw it in her eyes. She was haunted by your ghost.
