We don’t want rainy days to be a problem for any family. Today we propose the best activities with children that you can always use to spend a super entertaining afternoon without leaving home.
Going to the park or taking a walk is appealing when you have free time with the children and the day is good. But when you check the weather and everything indicates that it is going to rain, spending an entire afternoon at home can overwhelm anyone and, above all, the most active little ones.
Activities with children to avoid boredom
Activities That Foster Your Artistic Spirit
From making crafts, finger painting, or playing with clay, to designing their own costumes with used materials you find around the house, building a fort with blankets and furniture, or redecorating their bedroom together. With all these activities you will be able to encourage your children’s imagination and their most artistic and creative side, as well as have an entertaining time with the family.
Educational Games
Why not propose a game in, in addition to having fun, helping them learn new concepts or maintain those already learned? For example; the Alphabet Game, in which the objective is to complete the alphabet with photos and cutouts of words that are found for each of the letters that form it. Or The Treasure Hunt, a game that is based on finding a “treasure” that you will have hidden at home in advance, with the help of clues and questions.
Organize A Party!
It is not necessary to invite more people, with parents and children is more than enough. Get ready for an afternoon full of activities: First, board games to play with the family, who doesn’t have a Parcheesi or the Goose at home? They never go out of style! Second, a party is nothing without music. Invent dances and move all the skeletons. Third, prepare a delicious recipe and sit at the table together. If you also put in lights or candles, it will be an authentic gala dinner! And finally, put on your pajamas, find a movie, make popcorn and enjoy a typical “slumber party” curled up with a blanket on the sofa.
A Little While For Entertainment And Relaxation
At the end of the afternoon, the batteries of the whole family usually run out. Take advantage of this moment to introduce an activity that is as relaxed and calm as possible. That way they’ll fall asleep in no time. That’s why we propose: creating the moment of reading and reviewing photo albums, or even a relaxing bath with your favorite water toys.
As they say; bad weather, good face. And what better than spending an entertaining afternoon with these activities with children that we propose, without having to leave home? Because it is preferable for their development, both personal and physical, that the little ones do not stop all day. So, during the gray afternoons, focus on playing, laughing, and enjoying together, so that when the sun goes down, you will be able to rest (and wonderfully!).
