As if the holiday season wasn’t enough to manage, now the kids are out of school for a week or two and you have to entertain them?? Well, no need to fear! Here are 5 Days worth of activities to help keep them entertained:
Sledding Day!
Nothing says Holiday Time more than snow activities! The perfect way to spend the majority of the day and tucker those kids out! Pack some lunch and make the day of it, and if you can, treat them to some hot chocolate afterward!
Paper Snowflake Day!
Paper snowflakes to the rescue! Have the kids make a TON of these and decorate your home with them! Pick up some paper, tape, and even some fishing lines so the kids can get creative with their decorating. Have them build a cute window display, or hang them from the ceiling for a total white Christmas vibe.
Fort Day!
Put your kids’ building skills to the test with an epic fort! Make this fort the best one yet and utilize anything and everything you can find around the house: blankets, tables, chairs, pillows, boxes, and even toys! Pro tip: create a super comfy space inside and set the kids up with snacks and small activities (movie, color booking, etc.) – this can give the parents a moment of peace and quiet!
New Hobby Day!
Take a break from the screen time and have the kids test out a new (or existing) hobby! Anything from model car building, learning to crochet, origami, calligraphy, or anything else. Lots of stores carry inexpensive kits to get them started before fully committing to the hobby.
Movie Day
This isn’t your typical movie marathon. Instead, have the kids create their own movie! From subject to costumes and camera angles – let their imagination run free. There are even tons of apps you can use to turn their footage into a real movie trailer!
Did any of these suggestions work for your family – let us know! And pass along the ideas to your friends and family! Happy Holidays!
