#1 - Take a Virtual Tour
Visit another state or even country! There are tons of virtual tours for places your children have never imagined existed.
#2 Create Scavenger Hunt
Our family is known for scavenger hunts at every occasion. Create a few tips and sprinkle them around the house to reach a final destination that leads to a refreshing drink and/or snack. After all hunting is hard work.
#3 Play with Puzzles
If you're anything like us, we have a collection of puzzles that rarely see daylight. Bring them out of retirement and have some fun problem solving.
*Bonus Hack- After you assemble a puzzle flip it over and draw a puzzle of your own on the blank side.
#4-Make a Music Video
Hand over your device and let your kiddos make you a surprise music video. The end result should be fun to watch!
#5 Build an Indoor Fort With Pillows
Forts will never get old. Get creative and create fort mazes, and cozy reading spots
#6-Create a Paper Mosaic
Choose a large scaled image or coloring sheet
Rip/cut up tissue or construction paper into small squares
Glue and voila
#7-Paint Your Heart Out
Painting doesn't have to mean crazy clean up. Set up outside on a plastic tablecloth, use watercolors, or Grab a water based paint kit that has a special revealing style paper.
Make each activity a daily theme to repeat each week or do them as a bucket list. Either way, boredom will be busted and memories will be made. Which ones would your kids enjoy?
