Below are some activities that can keep your kids busy and engage them:

Kitchen aid

Try to find a friendly recipe that is likely to keep your kids engaged and interested . It could be things kids love to eat, e.g. pizza, biscuits or cake/muffins. With pizzas, children love to roll out the dough and decorate their personal favourite toppings on it. The best part is they feel proud of their accomplishment and eat what comes out of the oven.

Outdoor games

When you have a big back yard, you can create a game spot for your kids. These could be football pitch, basketball field. There are skills that would be easy to pick up such as dribbling. An outdoor trampoline keeps them bouncing and healthy, and if you have a really big one, you can join in the fun too. The next time you visit a game store, check out the outdoor section and you will get tons of ideas. This is a cheap activity with great outcome. Children tire themselves out and eat well too.

Indoor games
