Homemade Activities for Children
Toddlers and young children love to play games and make things. Not only is this good for their mind but it’s fun for you as a parent. There are so many things you can do things you have in your home right now. You won’t have to go to the store and make a purchase. Here are a few suggestions.
1. Boys
Boys love to race cars, so building things for them is pretty easy to do. For example, if they have you can take a cereal box that’s empty and create a tunnel. To do this, you’ll need to take the plastic out of the box and open both ends up. Another thing you can do is seal both ends and cut a hole in the center that goes all the way through. You can also create ramps with cereal boxes. Use DVD cases as the ramps and race the cars going up and down the ramp on the box.
Match box cars are the perfect size to go through a paper towel or toilet paper roll. These make great tunnels. If your son has larger cars they can be used for obstacles to go over like monster trucks.
2. Girls
Girls like to play dress up, play princess games, and have tea parties. These are all things you can do with things in your home. Dress up is one of the easiest things to do because you already have clothes she can use. Allowing her to put on your clothes and shoes is good, but it’s a good idea for you to set out the clothes she can use. It would be terrible if she got makeup on your dry clean only silk formal gown.
