Hot burning summer, holidays time and you are stuck at home (if not going on vacation). Looking for summer camps and any other ideas to keep kids occupied and entertained.
Holiday time can be the best bonding time, relaxing time and fun time for kids and parents if planned and spent well.
Try these cool ideas to make the most out of these vacations. Spend quality time with your children that they will cherish for years to come and you will feel rejuvenated too! These will be worth taking some leaves from work.
Ice Coolers or ice lollies: Make ice coolers, ice lollies, ice creams and chuskis together. Have fun with experimenting with different flavours and beat the heat too.
Pool Fun: Go swimming with your kids. Take you inflatables and play games like Marco Polo with your kids.
Art n craft wizardary: Put your arty hat on and bring out your creativity with your kiddos (even if you think you are not artistic, you’ll surprise yourself). Just give it a try! Whether it is with paints/canvas, waste material / clothes , paper or plants. You can have hours of good fun. Also kids will have amazing decor for their rooms too.
Laughter session: Laugh without any reason. Tell jokes, watch comedy. Try competing with your kids, who can laugh non stop the longest.
Movie Bonanza: Create a theatre effect at home. Order Pizza and keep Popcorn ready. Watch movies back to back with kids. Definitely they will love you for this. Here are some great movie ideas to watch with kids.
Camping: Use a tent or create your own with bedsheets and have indoor camping fun with games, books to read and yummy snacks to eat or whatever you love. Kids love that.
Music Time: Put on some music and sing along loud with your kids. Try their favourites, whether its nursery rhymes or latest rock music.
Dance: Put your hands up in the air like you just don’t care! Dance like crazy. It is not just fun but will burn all extra calories that you might have gained with mangoes and ice-creams 🙂
Silly competitions with cool prizes: Who can keep ice cube in their mouth for longest, who can stare longest without blinking, hand wrestling or who can lick their elbow??
Board games: Scotland yard, Carrom board or Scrabble…be a sport…go for it!
Indoor picnics: Do not let scorching sun kill your picnic spirit. Call friends over and have indoor picnic with Cup cakes, crunchies, lime drinks and ice-creams and games. Let kids do some baking with you (Here’s a pic of what my 8 year old made – yum!)
Water Fights: Last but not the least, be a child again. Have water fights…play bubbles…and have fun. Who said you can do that only on Holi…:)
