It is yet again that time of the year when your kids will not stop asking you what to do next. Though 2020 has been an extended summer vacation, online classes took off some pressure at least. Now, when the toddlers will have full-time vacations, it would be vital to plan something in advance so that your daily routine doesn’t become miserable. This blog includes shortlisted activities only which you can easily customize.
Based on the interests and age of your kids, choose the option which suits you the most. If you wish to ease up some work for you, plan the entire duration of holidays well in advance. For this purpose, you can rely on an online planner or involve your kids in deciding.
As far as first timers are concerned, it is quite possible that things go off track in the beginning but don’t worry as you are a rockstar parent! (otherwise you wouldn’t be here reading this thoughtful article)
- DIY Activities
This is the best time to hone the art and craft skills of your children. Whether they love to paint or not, experimenting with new options is never a bad idea. You can even indulge in painting yourself for a kick-start to their interests. Try to encourage them through videos and make sure all the stationery needs are catered well.
Make sure this fun doesn’t lead to misery for you in the end. Designate old clothes for this activity period and organize such tasks in the open so that the interiors are not cluttered.
- Go on a trip
For adventure-loving kids and parents alike, this option is highly recommended. Taking careful COVID 19 precautions, plan a vacation stay to a calm place. You can get to know what your child wishes to do by putting up options. In case a long journey is not feasible, you can even take them to the unexplored outskirts.
“Smell the sea, and feel the sky. Let your soul and spirit fly.”
Whether your kid loves water sports or beach activities, a trip to his/her favourite place will excite him/her in addition to creating a bundle of new memories to cherish later on.
- Household fun
If you’re kid doesn’t know cycling, this is the best time to teach. There are also a host of other activities which can enhance your kids’ hobbies.
Be it a boy or a girl, you should teach them right from a tender age how to keep the surroundings clean. Seek their help in doing the bed daily and just see how it does wonders in habit formation.
Kite flying is also a highly enjoyable activity. Ensure that at least one outdoor activity is practised daily. If your kids like cooking, you can even involve them in the kitchen.
