Drawing
There is something so calming about grabbing a pencil and a piece of paper and just allowing yourself to draw. Kids absolutely love it too. Pulling out a brand new pad of paper and some colored pencils is guaranteed to keep them entertained for at least an hour. As soon as they get into their flow, you won’t be able to stop them from creating.
Writing
Getting your kids to write stories on a regular basis is amazing for their education and creativity. Allow their imaginations to run wild and you will soon be reading some pretty funny, witty and amazing stories that they’ve created all by themselves. Give them as much guidance as they need, but remember it’s meant to be a fun activity; allow them to get a little silly if they want to!
Park Walks
Your kids will benefit so much from having a little bit of fresh air every day, so why not schedule in a park walk for your next weekend activity? Write a checklist of things they need to find during their walk from funny shaped leaves to creepy crawlies. Not only will they be getting some exercise, but they will also have a lot of fun on their mini treasure hunt too!
Allowing your kids to get creative, crafty and experimental will work wonders for their development. Although some of the ideas mentioned above might seem a little messy, it will all be worth it when you see the smile on their face. Try something new this weekend and see how much they love it!
