Fun activities for the holiday
During the holidays keeping everyone entertained and happy is a challenge, especially when you have younger children. Luckily, Born Furniture has put together a list of fun activities to keep everyone in the house entertained.
Everyone loves good food and that is why we suggest baking cupcakes/cookies and decorating them with the help of your children. In addition, homemade pizza is always a winner for everyone. Other activities in the house include; building a tent using blankets and cushions or building an obstacle course.
Furthermore, on a lovely day spend it outside. Have fun building an obstacle course, go for a swim or have a backyard picnic. Another alternative is to play games like cat and mouse, tag, what’s the time Mr. Wolf, thief, stuck in the mud. Any of your favourite games will be fun for all age groups.
Similarly, arts and crafts are always fun for the little ones. Spend some time coloring in or painting picture. Learn a new skill like pottery, art, rock art climbing or drama at a place near you. Another way to get the creative juices flowing is by making masks, let the children’s imaginations run wild by making masks of their favourite superhero or animal, whatever they want to.
Moreover, go out and about, visit a museum, go see a new movie. Another favourite amongst children is fruit picking, and going to a farm or market. Go visit a theme park and enjoy the thrilling rides.
At night time make dinner together as a family, your children will love the experience. Have a movie marathon with buckets filled with popcorn and candy. Luckily, Disney movies are wonderful for the entire family. How about changing things up a bit and get behind the camera? Make your own family movie, the children will enjoy the roleplay and dressing up. Another favourite is a trivia night, choose different topics and fill your space with the laughter of your family enjoying the time together.
Other activities you can do is to play board or card games like Monopoly, Snakes and Ladders, Snap, Uno etc. Have a themed day like pirates or princesses, dress up and roleplay for the day. Invite friends over to enjoy the fun. A slumber party is another fabulous choice, invite friends over pitch indoor tents and play party games, what a wonderful way to spend the night.
