It's the oldest trick in the book, but it still works from holiday crafts to something random. Kids love to create things.

Making a Board Game

Crafts are perfect for the younger ones, but the older ones may want to make something a bit more advanced. Using old game parts challenge your child to make the best board game they can, and then play it with them later that night.

Help Them Find A Hobby

As a kid my hobby was Lego. I spent hours building cities, every kid has a different hobby they could love. It may take some time, but once you find the right hobby for your child, you are set!

 

Digital Ideas

  • Making TikToks
    Yes, I know... it's goofy. This one is for the older kids as well. TikTok is a great space for making creative videos. If you have a second to learn with your kid how to safely make videos, this will help distract them for days, and weeks to come.
  • Classic TV Shows Or Movies
    Now is the perfect time to find a show or movie you loved as a kid to show your kids. Even if they don't like it, it can be fun to hear what they thought of it after.
  • Video Games
    Video games no longer require an expensive console or computer, there are plenty of great games on mobile devices like phones. If you do have a console, however, they also have games that can eat up hours of time.

Going outdoors and hanging out with friends and family in nature is always a great thing to take part in. Hopefully, the weather is nice.
