With 100 activities to inspire and excite when you're stuck inside,
there's everything from simple and silly things to distract kids for ten
minutes to crafts and experiments that will keep them entertained all
afternoon.
"I'm bored" must be the most frightening words in a child's vocabulary,
and how to keep kids entertained is something that keeps many of us
awake at night. 100 Things to Do Indoors is a collection of games,
activities, prompts and projects to keep little and not-so-little ones
focused, busy and happy. From simple and silly things to distract them
for ten minutes to crafts and experiments to keep them entertained for
an afternoon, there's a boredom buster for everyone.
Pick a play prompt strip to give you all the inspiration you need
whether you're a parent, a grandparent, a childcare worker or simply the
one in charge of a child for a day! Not every activity will suit your
day - or their mood - so just turn the stick over or choose another one
from the pot.
If you don't know how to make rainbow crayons, a calming jar or bath
paints, no problem. There's a handy booklet with all the instructions
you'll need for all sorts of projects.
Whilst there are plenty of ideas for solo play, there are plenty more
things for you to join in with, as well as group activities that will
work well for bigger families and parties.
Embrace the indoors and ...
Get creative with slime, goop and bath bombs.
Channel your inner scientist with lava bottles, erupting volcanoes and
magic drinks.
Make a time capsule, have a Yes day, or build a tape town.
The activities are written with children aged 3-8 years in mind but it's
your call as to how much help, support and age-appropriate supervision
they might need ... make whatever adjustments are necessary.
Have fun!
