5 School Holiday Boredom
Busters For Kids
School holidays are meant to be fun.
However, the boredom that comes
from overstaying at home can make
kids cranky. So, as a parent, you need
to break the monotony every now and
then. The question is how? If you’re
stuck with ideas to beat holiday
boredom, this blog is for you. Here are
five awesome holiday boredom
busters. Let's go!
Introduction
Out goes the old, in comes the new. Yes! There’s
nothing that a toy swap can’t fix. It not only lights
up your kid’s smile but also declutters your
home. Every house that has a kid is bound to
have at least ten to fifteen different toys that are
biting the dust. This usually happens when your
kid has outgrown them. So, the best thing you
can do is either donate them to deprived kids
through a charity or even better consider a toy
swap with other kids.
The Classic Toy Swap
Oh! And just to let you know, toy swap is a pretty serious business (at least for kids). So,
here are some ground rules.
❖ Each kid participating in a toy swap must bring at least five to six toys that are in
good shape.
❖ Leave your children to create a market like scenario, where they set up a shop like
structure with their old favourite toys up front.
❖ Next, every kid takes a turn to choose an item from the toy swapping marketplace.
This goes on until every toy finds a new home.
Besides being a holiday boredom buster, toy swapping is a lesson in reducing waste.
Perfume Making Kids Craft
Kids love perfume, especially when they see their
parents taking on a whiff every time they go out. So,
bring home a DIY perfume kit this holiday to keep
your child engaged. But wait? Aren’t perfumes harmful,
considering the chemicals that go into making?
These DIY kids craft have been designed for safety. In
other words, the perfumes they create are primarily
water-based, free from toxic compounds.. Brands like
Confetti Blue are doing a remarkable job bringing joy
to a child with these water-based formulas. Besides,
working with a kids craft kit helps boost their
creativity and confidence.
Whether it’s a visit to the zoo or a
picnic, kids loved being involved in
planning activities. So, they will
jump to the idea of creating activity
books during the holidays. Start by
asking them to name ten best
activities that they would like to do.
If they can’t come up with ideas, help them
with your suggestions like visiting the sea
beach, or having a sleepover with friends, or
planning a movie show at home. The idea is to
have variety. Once done, ask them to mark the
calendar with specific activity and plan to fulfil
the task accordingly.
Creating Activity Books
Outdoor Play Is A Must
It’s a sad truth that many children don't
want to go out to play. According to leading
research agency One Poll, only one out of
four kids these days is interested in going
outdoors. One of the most pressing reasons
is attraction towards playing games on
smartphones or watching TV. But once that’s
over, boredom hits at many levels.
So, you’ve got to make a deal. Tell them that one hour of play outside
will earn them 20 minutes of screentime. This is a great way to
inculcate a habit of spending time amidst nature. The sunshine, the
fresh air, and the physical activity can do wonders to uplift their
mood. While investing in a kids craft kit is always a go-ahead to
stimulate their creativity, outdoor activity should be considered a
mandate.
Fluffy slimes and playdoughs are a great option
for kids who like playing with textures. Slime
playing has also been linked to boost motor skills,
especially if your child is hyperactive. Slimes can
get messy though, so it's advised to set up a table
for them out in the backyard. You can also get
them non-messy slimes to play indoors.
Making Playdough or Slime
Closing Thoughts
From toy swaps to DIY kids craft kit,
keeping your little ones engaged is the best
way to beat holiday boredom. The idea is to
strike the right mix so that things don't get
too repetitive. Like when buying craft kits
for kids, make sure it's something that’s
moderately easy to keep up their interest.
Happy holidays, folks!
