6. Listen to Stories
If your kid isn’t into reading storybooks, listening to audiobooks can be a welcome change. Puffin releases daily story time videos with children’s favorite authors on their YouTube channel, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. These are fun sessions that include readings and draw-along with authors and illustrators.
From the safety of their homes, children can listen to some of the most famous stories, including classics like Charlotte’s Web, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, and so many more!
7. Create a Memory Box
This is a great activity to keep younglings busy for a long time. Creating a memory box will get your kids’ creative juices flowing all while staying inside the house. Choose a box that is large enough to hold plenty of boxes. Now, your child can decorate it as they want. They can cover it with glitter, draw their favorite memories or cartoon characters, stick family photos, and so on. Once they have created a memory box, they can put their favorite things inside, including their favorite teddy, blanket, awards, certificates, and so much more.
8. Doodling
Doodling may be dismissed as a waste of time, but little do people realize that doodling can improve learning and creativity. If you have stacks of scrap paper lying around, doodling can be a fun and creative way to use them. Get your kids off the TV and mobile phones and encourage them to put their ideas and thoughts down on paper!
9. Do a Fun Science Experiment
Does your child love science? Well, a great way to get them to really explore their interest in science is by encouraging them to perform some cool yet simple science experiments that they can do at home.
Don’t worry, and you don’t need to get special equipment for them. All you need are a few objects from your own home and ingredients from the kitchen. For instance, a chemical reaction between baking soda and vinegar can create “lava.” All that needs to be done is adding some vinegar and baking soda to a plastic bottle until the gas bubbles and erupts!
10. Make A Gooey Slime
Gooey slime can keep your kids occupied to no end. We love the most about slime because it can be created at home with everyday supplies such as glue, water, and food coloring. Mix these three ingredients and add some borax until the slime starts to become elastic. All of this works because glue contains a liquid polymer that links itself to water and food coloring molecules, developing into a sloppy slime.
With these 10 interactive activities, your kids will be all set to make the most of their winter holidays. In fact, you will never see your kids complaining and saying, “I’m bored!”
