Tips To Help Your Children Have Fun At Home

School breaks often have you shuttling kids around from activity-to-activity. While some families are out and about, others enjoy spending quality time together right at home. Get crafty with these fun ideas that bring entertainment back to the comfort of your home.

Get Colorful With Finger Painting

All children enjoy activities that involve using their hands. Finger painting is a beautiful way to get their artistic minds going while keeping them busy. Try using tempura paint. It’s a non-toxic option that’s water-soluble, making it easy to clean. When your little ones are finished, display their masterpieces. After all, who doesn’t love a home gallery?

Embrace Nature With a Backyard Picnic

A picnic is an excellent opportunity for bonding. When time is limited and traveling to an ideal area is not an option, look no further. The perfect spot is closer than you think! Having a backyard picnic is a convenient alternative that allows the family to enjoy the outdoors while still bonding over delicious food. You don’t need to pack food, kids and everything an outing requires. Plus, no long car rides!

Bring the Movie Theater Experience Home

Going to the movies makes for an entertaining night out with the kids, but the high cost of tickets and snacks can be overwhelming. With all the streaming and rental options available, why not bring the theater to you? Pick the movie in advance so everyone is in agreement ahead of time.

Start by creating a theme night. Let kids help you with decorations. Shopping for your family’s favorite goodies from your local store. Elevate the entertainment by including a popcorn mix-ins bar that allows your family to customize their treats.

Teach Kids a New Skill

Your children are curious little geniuses that enjoy learning new skills. A skill like baking will come in handy, which is why it’s beneficial to start while they’re young. You can have them start with completing a small side task, such as measuring flour when baking cookies. When they’re ready, they can help you mix until they’re comfortable handling more responsibilities.

Make a DIY Project a Family Project

Have a DIY project that could use extra hands? Call your children over and make it a family task! For example, if you need help with a room makeover, you can have your little ones help paint a room section. If painting isn’t in their skill set, they can always advise what colors to use.

These activities will help your children have fun at home, while creating a lifetime of memorable experiences. Get inspired and be as creative as you’d like with these ideas!
