World wide schools are closed and kids stuck at home due to COVID-19. If you’re like many parents across the country, having children at home 24/7 and exhausted with mobiles, tabs and TV shows. 

We have some amazing creative activities for kids to do at home that stimulate their imaginations and burn off some energy during these crazy times

Books! Books! Books!

Dedicate an hour each afternoon or evening to sit together and read aloud a picture book. Are kids too old? Just comfortable up on the couch and read. TV – off!

Make them to help with chores

Kids learn a lot from doing a household chore. Chores help them learn about what they need to do to care for themselves, a home and a family.

Plant a garden

Teach your children more information about the true source of food. Not only is this a great place for kids to be outdoors, but there are also many opportunities to inject some science lessons along the way.Teach them on how to prepare the garden for planting

Make them help in cooking

If they are old enough to stir & pour let them help with the basics. It’s a great way to teach numbers, fractions, nutrition, and basic life skills.This quarantine is a good time to teach your little chef some simple dishes that they make for themselves.

Make them to do their own yoga poses

Let kids create and name their yoga poses. Create a deck of yoga cards with conventional yoga postures and your own creativity, then draw out a few cards and keep the posture for more creative meditation practice.

Write letters to friends and relatives.

Let them write a letter to friends, cousin’s and grandparents who lives far away. Today, online messengers and chat rooms may be popular means of communication, but nothing beats the charm of letters. In addition to serving as an excellent memory file and having high emotional value, letters are also very suitable for teaching brushwork to young children. Letters force the writer to be concise and clear, thus improving the thinking process and helping to develop clear thinking skills.

Go for a walk

It costs nothing! Not only does walking count as physical exercise, but it also provides some mental health benefits. Research shows that if you can go for a walk, then brisk walking can make you feel more creative.

Bubbles, Bubbles, Bubbles!
