We asked our lovely followers what family activities they are doing to keep everyone entertained during lockdown. These ideas still apply now as we head into the winter months or at any time of the year really.
- Go on a bug hunt as part of your daily walk or in the garden
- Make a fairy garden
- Make a bug hotel
- Recreate a cinema night with home made pizza and popcorn
- Pitch a tent in the garden
- Make a cardboard racing car or house
- Plenty of baking
- Follow some family friendly online exercise classes
- Build a den
- Have a picnic in the garden or an indoor picnic if too cold
- Take lots of pictures to create memories of your time at home
- Compile that photobook or album that you have been meaning to do for years
- Go on a bear hunt in the garden at night. Your Shnuggle Moonlight can be repurposed for this activity perfectly
- Create a time capsule
- Make a home made doodle and message board from paper or card for everyone in the family to add something to anytime they feel like it
Some additional suggestions for especially younger toddlers or babies:
- Baby sensory activities
- Baby yoga or massage following online classes. Don’t forget your Squishy Changing Mat for this
- Read lots of books and stories
- Water tray with plastic cups or bottles (always supervised)
