It’s
that time of the year again, when kids go crazy with happiness, and parents may
groan just a little bit with trying to keep them occupied in a useful way. This
means finding something to do that could keep them away from the television and
video games for a major part of the day. Here are some ideas:
Plan a lot of physical
activity:
Trips to the park, to the amusement park and even that long put-off activity of
learning cycling – this is the best time for it all. It will increase the time
you spend with your kids, as well as keep them happy to be active. If you can
plan some of these as a group of kids and parents, that will make it even more
enjoyable.
Indoor fun: If you leave kids indoors
for too long, they tend to gravitate towards the television or the computer.
You can make it tougher for them to do this by planning an interesting DIY
activity such as this one. Older children can even help you with
more difficult DIY tasks such as painting a wall, and simple cleaning up
activities.
Summer camps: Most of us would have put
children in at least one summer camp to keep them occupied for a couple of
weeks away from home. Try to choose one according to the interest of the child,
such as craftwork or carpentry. Another option is going for a camp with
physical activities, which would help the children pick up a new sport like
swimming or tennis.
Teach a new skill: This could be something as
simple as reading that can open up a world of wonder for young children. If
kids are interested, they could also learn something like knitting or crochet
and make small decorative items to gift friends and relatives.
We
