Awesome Indoor Activities For Kids To Enjoy On Cold Days
Here are 3 awesome indoor activities for kids to enjoy on cold days.
So say goodbye to winter blues and hello to FUN TIMES!
The winter months have always felt long and boring and the weather is not always very conducive for playing outside.
However, these winter months and holidays don’t have to be boring. Why not get creative and help your kids have some fun with these creative indoor activities that kids can enjoy on cold days?
1. Lights, camera, action!
The children can unleash their inner Steven Spielberg by producing, directing, and acting out their favourite fairytale, fable, or original story that they’ve made up. If your children are older, they could even sit down to write a short script. Once the storyline has been decided on, the children make their own costumes out of items in the house or their clothing (make sure to tell them not to cut up any new clothes!) and get ready in the area where they’ll be acting out their story.
Once the prep is done, it’s time to shoot! One of the children can be the cameraman or you can help out by shooting the play! You or the kids could use our Lenosed A75 7 Inch Early Education Kids Tablet or the Lenosed S3 Smart Tablet 7 Inch for shooting, editing, and watching the video!
2. Soup-erb party
Winter and soup are a match made in heaven. Ask the children to help you make soup by rinsing and scrubbing the veggies! Older kids can help with peeling. That way you can monitor them while you get dinner or lunch ready. You could even make tiny chef hats and give them aprons.
While the pot of soup is bubbling away on the stove, assemble a grilled cheese sarmie station. Pop the sandwiches under the grill when the soup is almost ready so the bread is golden brown and crunchy and the cheese is a gooey delight. OBVIOUSLY don’t let small kids anywhere near hot soup/grill/ovens and ensure your older ones know all about burn safety!
Cooking with children can be a fun activity and it gives them a greater appreciation for the food they eat. Plus, it also offers teens the valuable opportunity to develop some more skills. Soup is healthy and nutritious and children are more likely to eat something if they’ve been part of the process of putting the dish together.
3. Indoor treasure hunt
This can be played in teams or individually. Write down some clues and hide them all over the house for the children to find. These can be themed, for instance, Frozen songs (fill in the missing word: “beware the __ heart”… frozen! Check the freezer!). If you’ve got a bit more time on your hands, you could even create a map of the house so the kids can follow the map to find the hidden treasure. The first team or child to gather all the clues and find the treasure wins!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, don’t forget to get prizes! We offer a wide range of FUN, SAFE & EDUCATIONAL TOYS that make great prizes and consolation prizes because it is only fun if everyone wins something!
BONUS, the treasure hunt items that are won will also help keep your kiddies and their friends busy for hours!
