The holidays are upon us so the children are home and need lots of attention. If you are not going away for the holiday, staying at home is not such a bad idea after all. There are great outdoor games and fun stuff to do for the kids whether you have a small of huge garden. With so many weeks stretching ahead, without having to spend any money, make sure they are having lots of fun at home.
Make sure they have fun and they are well entertained by organising new things to do every day to avoid them from getting bored. Keep them out of trouble and safe by letting them play in the garden on a smooth surface of a paved area or on the grass. Outdoor activities can be great fun for the whole family if it's done together.
There are bound to be cloudy and rainy days amongst the sunny summer days therefore spending a fun day indoors can also be lots of fun. You could read a book or get a colouring book to colour in the pictures while you are indoors. Consider getting craft materials together to create different types of crafts such as craft toys and ornaments.
You could also make puppets and have an outdoor puppet play in the garden. Make a cardboard stage for the puppets where you can puppeteer behind the stage.
Make sure you have loads of ideas for games and lots of other fun stuff to do.
Kids get easily bored indoors, so if you have a big entertainment area, use that space to make it more fun. Interlock floor tiles are the best to install in kids play areas as it is safe and clean especially in the garden. When it's not so hot outside let them help you in the garden either to plant some vegetables or to play in the mud for fun.
Always do something they like and that they will be actively involved with or else it won't be any fun for them. Do something fun in the kitchen for lunch such as letting them play around and make their own food or snacks. Make sure they have good and healthy goodies to eat and snack on.
Remember to let them take regular breaks to eat, sleep and just relax. If they are running around a lot they should drink lots of water. Slipping and falling on rough edges or surfaces can be bad for the kids as they can hurt themselves. Make sure that all play areas are safe for them to play on and easy to access.
The Paving Warehouse & Wonder Rock, masters in the art of simulated rock, are no ordinary stone masoners. The Paving Warehouse is South Africa's leading manufacturer of simulated rock, with applications both indoors and outdoors, each stone cast is a classic.
