We know at times it's difficult to pass time when
you’re stuck at home and got nothing to do, especially if you have kids
at home who easily get bored and always feel the need to do something.
Finding things to do with kids can be a tricky business at times
but we have some cool suggestions for parents to make use of this free
time with their children.
Here are some fun activities that parents and kids could do together at home:
Doodle your way out of boredom
Children love to doodle, and it's not just restricted to the back of their notebooks.
All you need to do is gather a lot of scrap paper which we bet must be lying somewhere around your house, and
let your kids creativiy take control. Doodling is one of the best ways
for kids to express their creativity. It's easily one of the
best ways to get your kids out of their gadgets and help them express
their ideas.
Let the little chefs take control
The earlier they start, the better they get! Obviously we aren't
suggesting tough ones but there are lots of simple recipes out there
that you can try out with your children. Children love to know about how
things are made,
you can start with sandwiches and if they really love it, then why not challenge them to come up with new sandwich fillings?
Enjoy Karaoke nights
No matter how badly we sing we all love to do it. Children enjoy singing
and dancing, they easily memorize their favourite tunes. There's
nothing better than a family Karaoke night, so play their favourite
songs and sing along with them. Don't worry if you don't catch-up with
the lyrics cause that's the real fun!
Trading cards are there to rescue to you
When it
comes to indoor games there's nothing that can beat trading cards.
Trading cards are not only entertaining and fun to play but also help
kids to learn strategies and formulate their own rules. You can choose
the game as per the sport you like the most, Topps Slam Attax universe
is the best one for WWE fans, cricket fans would love Virat Kohli
Journey cards while football fans can go for Match Attax collection.
It's the easiest way to engage with your kids and have a good family
time.
Paint your imagination
Kids love to draw and paint, they like to play with colours and this
gives them a channel their thoughts in a creative way. You can have a
small painting competition among your family members. It’s actually
easier than you think let the little ones grab the
crayons, paint and show their creative side.

Create your own stories
Children love to hear and tell stories, from fairy tales to fantasy it
is something that they really pay attention to. Parents can use their
imaginations and write a story with their kids. We know it's not that
easy but it doesn’t have to be original, kids
could write down their favourite fairy tale and make changes to it if
they want. You can also go for chain stories where each person writes a
paragraph and then shows the final line only to the next writer. As soon
as the final person has written their part,
you can read the whole story out loud and it would be hilarious!
