Ideas to do at home
Collect and paint rocks
Go to a nearby park and collect rocks, then make a craft day out of it. Paint them with whatever paint you have at home
Build a fort
Any time of the year is the perfect time to build a fort. It’s great for some pretend indoor camping!
Get baking
Pretend to be bakers while practicing essential skills like reading with recipes or counting with ingredients.
Do a puzzle
Exercise those creative, cognitive and problem-solving muscles with a good puzzle. You can use a store-bought variety or have the kids make their own.
Play Hot Potato
This game will have everyone giggling. Ask the kids to sit on the floor in a circle. Turn on some tunes and have them pass the potato (a bean bag or soft ball) around the circle as fast as they can. When the music stops, the player holding the potato leaves the circle. Keep going until only one player is left and wins the game.
