Looking for indoor activities to do while you’re stuck inside with your kids? Look no farther than this safari. With recent school closures, you might be wondering what you can do with your kids, or if you have enough ideas to keep them busy all day long. Worry not because this safari suggests many indoor play activities, ranging from art activities, physical activities to fun games to play. (Maybe even some nap time if you tire them out!) In this safari, we’ll cover every one of them.
Art Activities
Stimulate your little one’s creative drive with these fun art activities. Simply giving them paper to draw and paint with crayons, colored pencils and finger paints are an easy and fun way to start. You can break these out before you use some heavy duty arts and crafts. To add an extra flair, you can use more creative supplies like pom poms, sparkly glitter, long and bendy pipe cleaners and Elmer’s glue to glue it all down. Arts and crafts kits available at Target are another way to have fun with art. They’re usually only one dollar and are boxes that contain “a wooden cutout with washable paint and a paintbrush” (Gann). They’re a fun and cheap way to expand on your child’s creative interests.
Physical Activities
If you have a play area indoors, physical activities are a great way for your little one to release all of their pent up energy. Running and jumping in a safe supervised environment is always recommended because it’s simple and fun. You can expand on this by adding organized activities like having dance parties, playing tag and doing jumping jacks. If you don’t have enough space for physical activities, fear not. Clown Around offers a clean, safe, indoor playground.
Games
Games are an age old tradition on a rainy day. There are tons of Milton Bradley and Parker Brothers games that you can play with your little one. Other fun ideas are stacking games like Jenga blocks and Magna-tiles. There’s nothing that thrills a kid more than stacking things up and watching them fall over (Gann). Workbooks with mazes and word searches can stimulate the thinking part of a child’s brain and so can puzzles too. A more fun (and more recent) card game to play is Uno. With easy to follow rules and a fast pace, it can keep your children captivated for a long time.
Play Places
When all else fails, taking your child to a clean and safe play place is recommendable. At Clown Around we clean the play area and party room with disinfectant after every open play and party. If you ever have questions about our policies or cleaning routine never hesitate to ask. Clown Around offers private parties that are safe, affordable and friendly to all your child’s health related needs. Not only that, but we also offer plenty of ideas for indoor games to keep your child entertained in these times of boredom. Stop by Clown Around and have fun without worrying about unclean, unsafe environment.
Tips from Tiger:
-Even if you can’t go outside, you can still have a safari with your kids by looking out the window with them and asking them what they see.
-Let your kids really go wild with their artistic creations. Giving them safety scissors and cutting up construction paper into fun shapes is always recommendable
– Playing with Play-doh captivates kids with all the fun shapes they can make.
