It can be challenging to keep kids entertained during the nationwide lockdown. Here are some fun activities to keep the gang busy.
- Make your own pizzas with frozen pizza bases and some toppings.
- Play board games.
- Check your TV schedule and host a movie night, complete with popcorn and cooldrink.
- Get baking. Make muffins or cookies and let the kids โhelpโ.
- Re-enact bedtime stories.
- Let them make lunch โ give them cookie cutters to create crafty sandwiches or arrange sliced up veggies in different shapes. It teaches them about doing things for themselves and doubles up as a fun indoor activity.
- Play! Switch off the TV and re-discover books, puzzles, old toys or everyday items.
- Pack a picnic basket (sandwiches, water, cooldrinks and a few snacks) and host the picnic right outside your home or indoors.
- Set up a canvas and let your little ones paint. Then place their completed artwork in a special place where everyone can admire it. They will be super-proud if you display it.
- Get their creative juices flowingโ with a little paint, paper and glue an empty toilet paper roll can soon be a zebra, flower, serviette ring or even a superhero! Here are some more ideas.
- Get them gardening โ growing plants and getting your hands dirty is great fun and educational.
