Summertime
is ideal to spend with your family! Everyone gets to spend quality as well as
quantity time with the loved ones. Sunny days can be fun only if the day is
carefully planned. It would be great to outline fun-filled activities that keep
your children occupied in a productive way. While your kids might waste their
precious time in front of television or laptop all day long, only you can break
the monotony and make their summers exciting.
With a
special compiled list of hobbies for summers, your children won't get bored, instead
they will get creative with these fun and easy to do activities:
Gardening can be fun: Kids
can learn a lot by watching a seed grow into a vegetable, fruit and flower.
Whether you already have a garden or want to make a new one, you can get your
young ones involved in this activity. Let them choose the kind of produce they
want to grow. Your child will be proud and responsible for the final outcome
for sure.
Reading can increase intellect: While
they may desist it, but reading can actually boost the brain and make your kids
more intelligent. Take them to library, let them select a book for themselves,
or come up with a book reading challenge. Contrarily, a book like Summer:The Magic Blanket, by Litsa Bolontzakis which is full of illustrations and
knowledge, can be fun for children.
Create a Family journal: This
is quite a unique way to let your child's creativity flow. A family journal
comprising of a few questions answered by all the members will be pure delight
to read in the coming years. Important dates, events, pictures, signs, hand
prints and likewise can be punched into the journal, making it all the way more
real and worth cherishing.
Cleaning the house: Of
course, summers can't pass by if one doesn't indulge into the cleansing
routine. Take help of your kids, or better yet assign small home chores to
them. To make it fun, you can either use a spin-a-wheel, secret bowl, or
treasure hunt tactics. Alternatively, you can put the list of chores on fridge
or magnetic board. Make sure the tasks are not dangerous so that the kids
remain safe.
DIY art using recycled material: DIY
art and craft can be extremely relieving for children. This can be made more
responsible if you let them create something out of recycled materials. It
could be either old toys, clothes or waste papers. There are plenty of guides
that explain how to use all of these stuff into something useful but at the
same time get rid of extra clutter.
Let
your child be curious, spontaneous and active throughout the summers using
these simple hobby ideas!
