Top 10 Activities for Kid to Keep Them Busy During the Summer

by manager, posted in EXTERNAL, INTERNAL

Summer is a time for kids to have fun and explore their creativity. With that said, it’s also important to keep them occupied with activities so they don’t turn into little monsters by the end of summer vacation. To help you out, we’ve compiled a list of 10 Activities for Kids during the Summer:

Ages 3-5

1. Play with water in the garden, or fill a bucket and pour it over yourself! This is a great way to cool off on hot days, and kids will have loads of fun getting wet.

2. Set up an obstacle course in your backyard. Make sure you include some challenges that require balance! For example, try balancing on one leg for as long as possible. You can use things like chairs or piles of laundry to build the course, too – be sure not to leave any sharp objects behind so kids don’t hurt themselves if they fall off their perch!

3. Create a fort out of blankets and pillows where all the toys are stored inside (remember to tell kids not to take anything out of the fort without asking, or they’ll have a hard time putting it all back!)

Ages: 11-12

A fort is a great place for kids to spend hours of summer fun. They can play games, read books or relax there and watch TV if they want!

1 – Building an obstacle course out of chairs and laundry piles in your backyard

Building an obstacle course out of chairs and laundry piles in your backyard is a fun way to keep kids occupied on a sunny summer day. You can even have them help you build the obstacles, so they feel like they’re part of the game! They’ll love trying to get from one end to the other as fast as possible, but they may need some help if there are any difficult parts along the way. Once you’ve finished, it’s also great for having races with friends or siblings too.

2 – Hula hooping

Kids will be able to spend hours at home with their family just Hoola hoop around together before getting bored – or running out of breath. Make sure you’re all on the same wavelength before buying your hoop, or it could end up being a little awkward when they present their gift to you, and you go to give them yours!

3 – Planning an escape room for friends

An escape room is one way that kids can get involved in mystery-solving activities during these long summer days. Kids love puzzles – so much so that there are puzzle games specifically designed just for children who love solving mysteries too (like “The Great Pudding Caper”). To make things even more interesting, set up a few challenges beforehand with some clues hidden around the house related to each challenge. Then see if your child has what it takes to solve every last one by themselves.

4 – Build a fort

This is not just for the kids – parents can also help out with this one, and it’s a great way to spend an afternoon playing hide-and-seek inside or outside, depending on what type of space you have available at home.

5 – Hide and seek

Whether they’re hunting for their own favorite hiding spot like under chairs in the living room or finding creative new spots altogether, kids will enjoy spending hours running around looking for each other. One tip? Try putting some snacks close by so they don’t get too hungry while they play!

6 – Make a sandcastle

This is one of the most iconic summer activities for kids, and there’s no better time to try it out than when you have nowhere else to be! Find an empty spot on the beach or in your backyard with soft enough ground, fill up two buckets with sand (one wetter than the other), add some water if needed, then let them go wild, molding their creations as they wish.

7 – Have a water balloon fight

Grab the spoons, grab some friends, and have an epic water balloon fight! The more people you invite over for this one, the better. Set up two teams on either end of your yard or street with plenty of buckets filled to the brim with balloons ready to be thrown at each other; once all parties are set up, let it begin!

8 – Go camping

Did you know that kids can go out and camp too? It’s true! Pack up your tent, load it into the car, and head to a nearby state park or forest. Pitch your tent in either dirt or sand (depending on what surface is available), light a fire for cooking food over, roast some marshmallows, and spend the night under the stars without any cares in the world.

9 – Play flashlight tag

is a great game for kids to play during the nighttime. It’s easy, all you need is a dark backyard (or any other area with no lights) and your trusty flashlight. One player starts off as it by turning on their flashlight; whoever he tags needs to freeze in place until they’re free again

10- Make a fort

Forts are fun for kids and adults alike. They’re also easy to make, too: all you need is some sheets or blankets, some chairs, and any other clutter that can be used as walls. Now get creative! Think about what kind of fort would suit the area – an igloo in the snow? A pirate ship on dry land? A spaceship on Mars? The possibilities are endless!

What are your favorite springtime activities for kids?

by manager, posted in EXTERNAL

After months of long brutal winters, we finally get to indulge ourselves in the warmer breeze of fresh air and blooming nature that is second to none. Where your kids have been locked (not literally) inside their houses during winter, you can use spring as an opportunity to get outdoors and allow your kids to show their creative sides.

Here, at Kids Play Boxes, I have compiled a list of highly educational, refreshing, and fun activities for kids outdoors in spring.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

1.Go to a local garden or field

There are endless activities you and your kids can do in the garden or grassy field. If your kids love to have a good sporty match in the field, you can join them or let them play with each other for that ever-needed family quality time.

If that’s not your thing, go for paying tag, frisbee, or any other game that your kids usually like to play. Simply running around and chasing butterflies is also one thing that many kids love doing when they are out in the open.

As for the garden, it’s never a bad idea to capture the beautiful scenery and happy faces of your kids among the colorful flowers. Take your camera out for a day and let your children have fun in the garden while you take their pictures.

You can go for a few proper family pictures and focus on candids for the rest of the day. Don’t stress out if your kids aren’t willing to look at the camera or stick with you throughout the day. Let them explore each side of the garden, and you can focus on having a great time yourself.

2.Go for a walk

Okay, I get it: walking for miles with your kid definitely doesn’t sound like an ideal day out. However, this isn’t just a casual walk. Here are some of the things you can spice up an ordinary and boring walk.

● Nighttime walk: night is the perfect time to help your kids get fascinated by the noises of nocturnal creatures like bats and owls.

● ABC walk: this is one of the most educational and interesting things you help your kid stay engaged during the walks. While you are walking, ask your kid to look for objects that start with each letter of the alphabet to not only make them aware of their surroundings but improve their vocabulary too.

● Senses walk: just like ABC walk, senses walk can also be a great way to keep your kids engaged. Let them see the flowers, hear the sound of the birds chirping, cool breeze, and the roughness of rock to have the most peaceful walk of their life.

● Collect items: Collect items like rocks, flowers, or other simple yet memorable items that can help them remember these spring days for the rest of their life.

3.Play in the rain

Nothing is more fun than getting your kids dirty in the gooey dirt on a ringing day. Help them make a boat out of recycled items like leaves, twigs, and paper to chase it to see how far it goes. They can also collect rain in different containers and hear droplets’ sounds as they fall on different surfaces like metal, plastic, and glass.

It is completely alright if your kids want to get into the puddles and splash at each other. You know you can throw the old t-shirt out.

4.Make a fairy garden

Who doesn’t like fairy gardens, right?

With your help, your kids can make their own magical garden right at your home. The best part? You don’t have to break your bank and go for special chairs and tables at all. Go through all the junk you have at home and create something to display in your garden [https://yardsurfer.com/decorate-your-garden-with-recycled-materials/] Indeed these crafts will be more valuable and special than any other decorations you may buy from the market.

Give your kids full freedom to do anything they want. Whether it is painting the bench multi-color or drawing on random places, there always be a creative edge to everything they will do with your garden. If you want to go the extra mile, you can opt for a few plant seeds and help your kids plant them in their right places [https://www.bhg.com/gardening/yard/garden-care/ten-steps-to-beginning-a-garden/] to give a refreshing and beautiful look to your overall garden.

Later, as a way to celebrate your new garden. Allow your kids to have quality time with their friends in the neighborhood by setting up tents and grabbing a few of their favorite snacks. They can also bring along pillows and have a sleepover to help them relax after a tiring day of setting up the garden. If you currently don’t have the supplies, you can count on your neighbors if they have something to lend you for a while.

5.Bird watching

Simply hitting the backyard and watching birds can also be an excellent way to learn about new birds and enjoy the serene weather outside. You can also listen to music while watching birds.

6.Be all sporty

Count on a good kickball or frisbee game to help your kids enjoy the best part about spring. Many children prefer to go for glow-in-the-dark disc or football in the night to add an extra element of uniqueness and thus excitement to the overall game. Besides that, if you have a basketball hoop in your backyard, it is never a bad idea to get all your family members involved and indulge in a fun game on weekends.

If that’s not your bet, riding bikes is also incredible at getting your blood all pumped up and let your little ones explore the neighborhood. However, if your kid is too young to ride one, I’d recommend you opt for a bicycle trailer that can easily be attached to your bike.

7.Have a picnic

Trust me; your iconic doesn’t necessarily have to be all fancy and hectic. Just look for a lush and green place with enough shade to make it an ideal spot for your picnic. Remember to always sit under the tree to make use of its freshness.

Ditch the fancy baskets and specially made food. Just go for an old bedsheet, some snack or home-cooked meal that you were already going to eat at home, and a travel container to store all that food. It is also a good idea to grab a few pillows for that extra comfort and cushy settings.

Remember, your picnic can also be just fine without making much effort. Enjoy the scenery, laugh, and forget about going through the hassle of picnic preparations.

8.Outdoor twister

Playing Twister outdoors is definitely more fun than playing it inside. It gets even better if you happen to have a handmade twister and is relatively big than the ordinary ones. Unless you don’t mind drawing one in your backyard, you can also create your own twister game at home [https://designeddecor.com/twister-game/] to bring it along either to your local field or backyard.

If your kids happen to have a creative edge, let them have fun with the colors of making the twister before actually playing it. If not, invite a friend to help them make it. After that, you can invite more of your kids’ friends and have a twister party together!

☞Twister mats can help here.

9.Fly a Kite

If your kids have never tried this before, you can rest assured that this will become their favorite outdoor activity to do in spring. Get an aesthetically appealing kite with striking colors from the dollar store and get ready to fly it in your backyard.

Don’t know how to fly it? Allow me.

Stand on the opposite side of the wind and hold your kite up by its brittle point. If you have the right wind, the kite will go straight up. When this happens, let the kite fly away from you and pull it on the line to let it go in the direction you want. Keep doing this until you get the proper altitude and find steady wind.

☞ The ingredients for making a kite are here to help.

10.Treasure Hunt

If you have never played Treasure hunt with your kid before, all you have to do is:

● Make a list of the kids you want your child to collect. It can be something as simple as a leafy (make sure it has something that distinguishes it from the rest), pebbles, or a penny.

● Hand over a basket to let your kid collect the items they find during the game.

● If your kid is too young, ask them general questions about shapes, textures, and sizes to make sure they can truly find the items you want them to find.

● Later, take pictures of the clues that indicate which item they need to find and give hints of finding it. You can also draw up a map for a more real feel.

● If your kid is old enough to make sense of the words, you can also write up the clues instead of drawing them.

Camping: A GREAT WAY TO LEARN AND HAVE FUN

When your kids hear that they will be going on a camping trip, what is their usual reaction? Of course, they are happy and excited, right? The reason why kids always look forward to camping is that it is one of those activities where they can learn and have fun at the same time.

Truly, camping is an amazing way to let your kids gain fun and learning experiences. When you go camping with your kids near a mountain, a lake, a park, or a beach, you are all exposed and immersed in the beauty of nature and its wonderful treasures.

This is also very easy to prepare since you will only need to draw or print out a single page filled with 10 to 15 images of everything your kids can find within your camping premises.

If you are camping near a mountain or wildlife area, you can include images of leaves, twigs, stones, and insects. If you are camping near the beach, you can include images of shells, stones, sand, and small fish. The goal of the Nature Collector’s Hunt is for your kids to gather and collect every image that is included in the list. The one who wins the activity is the one who completes the entire list.

2, Bird Sighting

Birds are almost everywhere, right? Since birds are amazing creatures that can be easily and safely spotted during camping trips, you can let your kids do a Bird Sighting or Bird Watching activity. All you have to prepare are binoculars for your kids and some pen and paper for them to draw or describe all the birds that they will be able to see the entire time.

After that, tell your kids to keep their drawings and descriptions and when you all go home after the trip, you can help them discover the names and types of the birds that they saw.

▶Get help if you need binoculars.

3, Super S’mores

Is there a better way to end a fun and exciting camping day with a bonfire and some super delicious s’mores? Let your kids have fun learning how to cook s’mores with a Super S’mores session by the bonfire after eating dinner.

What you are going to need are big marshmallows and some long bamboo barbecue sticks (make sure to tell your kids not to play carelessly with the sticks) to stick the marshmallows on.

After setting a bonfire, let your kids gather around and melt their marshmallows by the fire. Once the marshmallows are brown and a bit melted, let your kids indulge in their yummy s’mores.

4, Camping Sports Fest

Let your kids get active and competitive with a mini Camping Sports Fest, also known as Camping Olympics. When your kids hear Sports Fest or Olympics, they will definitely think about running, jumping, playing, and having pure fun.

5, Star Gazing

When you live in the metro, it is almost impossible to see stars at night. But, when you go on a camping trip, nature will allow you and your kids to see the clear skies at night and gaze at thousands of beautiful stars.

All you have to do is to set up mats, blankets, and some snacks under a canopy-less area within the camping premises where you can clearly see the sky. Once your kids are all comfortable, let them gaze at the stars and pick their favorite stars. You can also print out or draw constellations on paper and let them find the constellations in the sky.

6, I Spy

When your kids are relaxing after playing other more active games during the camp time, you can beat the boredom by playing a game of I Spy.

This classic relaxing yet brain-stimulating game can be more meaningful for y0ur kids when they play it with the nature around them. There are no materials and supplies needed! Just their eyes and sense of sight.

All the kids will have their moment to give hints on the thing they select within sight and when it is their turn, they will say “I spy with my little yet amazing eyes, something_____________”. Then, all the other kids will take guesses and the one who guesses right first wins a snack prize.

7, Nature Park Ranger

With similarities to the game of freeze tag, the Nature Park Ranger will let your kids have fun in nature.

This game is better played with a large group so that a lot of kids will have fun during the entire time. The Nature Park Ranger game will involve boundaries, trees, and animals and will strengthen the listening and running skills of your kids.
