Summers are here already, and your kids are excited about their upcoming summer holidays. And no matter where you work, whether you are a stay-at-home parent or work outside the home, you need some good ideas for keeping your kids busy this summer.
Otherwise, we all know they are likely to end up getting too much screen time, which is terrible for their health.
Here are the top 5 activities that will keep your little munchkins on their toes, fighting off their summertime boredom.
- In the lap of Nature
- Create a container herb garden on your patio or windowsill for easy access to fresh herbs. You can use old containers, wooden boxes, unused jars available in the house.
- Cloud-watching is a fun and easy way to spend an afternoon. Lie down on a blanket in your backyard and watch the clouds. Take turns pointing out different shapes and sizes.
- Who doesn’t love watching birds? Especially when they’re coming to your backyard to eat! Put a bird feeder in your balcony or garden. Ask your kids to keep track of all the different birds they see and even learn their names.
- Cycling is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors at the same time. Take your kids along for a ride to the nearest valley. They’ll be able to see so much more of nature than if they are just walking.
