The festive season is finally here and it's time to get creative with your kids!
As much as we miss going out and about, not only is it still risky for your health, but it can get expensive! With money put aside for gifts, and festive food expenses piling up, we understand if there is little left for entertainment. That being said, if your kids are left entirely to their own devices, they might just drive you mad before the new year has started!
So how can you make sure your kids have space to get rid of some energy, but from the comfort and convenience of your home? Here are some unique ideas:
Now this is what we call creative! As fun as Monopoly, Go Fish, and all your other household games are, children will always look for something new and exciting. Creating your very own board game, card game, or any other kind of interactive game will not only be fresh entertainment, but can keep the kids busy for ages!
The kitchen is the heart of the home, so what better place to spend the day with your children? Whether you're in the mood for making a savoury snack, or you're craving a sweet treat, bringing your kids in on what could be a tedious task, can now be an opportunity for making memories and some quality bonding.
Give your kids the gift of green fingers by teaching them how to tend to the garden from a young age! Pick a patch in your garden and show your children how to plant and tend to their herbs, vegetables, and flowers. This relaxing activity is not only fun, but teaches valuable skills that will last a lifetime.
What is childhood without treasure hunts? Children love looking for treasures, and the best part is it doesn't have to cost an arm and a 'peg'! Make your own treasure map of your home and garden, place clues throughout your property, hide a small treat where x marks the spot, and let the hunt begin!
Backyard camping is a blast for the kids! A little bit of adventure in the safety of your property might be exactly what your kids need to make the holidays exciting. Set up a tent in your garden with sleeping bags and head-torches, and you're good to go. If you want to make it extra special, stock up on snacks and a movie.
