Zumba Kids
This is a great way of spending time together because you can kill two birds with one stone. Kids need to be active and they need to use up their energy also you can treat this time with your child also as a training for yourself. Dance is a wonderful medicine for boredom, bad mood and keeping fit. You can simply show your child couple of moves that he needs to repeat after you but if you don’t feel strong in a choreography you may use one of movies on YT. That will work too.
Play Store
Playing store is not only a fantastic boredom buster, but it also teaches children about shops, money management and social skills. How to play that old as a wheel game? You should make your own money from paper, or get some from board games i.e. Monopoly. Products that will be sold can be collected around the house (it can be crayons, pens, rubbers, toys). If you have a cash register it will be more realistic but without it you will also manage. It’s all about creativity!
Lego
I think lots of parents forget about this possibility to spend some creative time at home. I bet most of us have at least one LEGO set (or counterpart to LEGO) at home that can use for this game. LEGO bricks gives you plenty of possibilities to build creative things for example a castle, store, house or police station. You may also compete with your kid to build the biggest tower. If you do not know what to build just follow your kid’s imagination, they are so creative that for sure will figure something out. With LEGO anything is possible!
Coloring Pages
If you have kids in different age but you want to do something with a whole bunch of kids maybe it would be a good idea to print some free coloring pages that are great for all ages. One of the coolest places you can find a big selection of favourite characters are Topcoloringpages.net. Do you think you will not find anything for yourself? There is also a section for adults with i.e. mandalas. Why no to try?
Cooking
Parents usually think about this activity as a terrible duty that they have to do every day without having fun and rarely thinks about cooking as a possibility to spend some time with their kids and get some extra hands to help in the kitchen. It’s a priceless time to educate them about fresh, affordable food and to empower them to make healthy food choices every day. Cooking can be a great adventure for little ones.
