Kids getting bored! Don't know what to do? Well heres a few tip to keep you going?

peachynowamum by peachynowamum Talking Back(October 2006) (rank 24th)

What other activities do you do with your child besides painting, sticker books, playdo. I'm really stuck on ideas on what to do with my child. she is getting bored really quickly.

Aaaah its that time of year again when the kids are on hollidays! What

to do? What to do?
Ummmm?

Well I do know one thing, kids need lots of stimulation to help them learn and develope! So here's a few suggestions!

  1. Try playing lots of different games with them! The more variety the better! (I particulary like stuck in the mud, poison ball, hide and seek and tag ie: tiggy) Its great excercise as well!
  2. Have a baking spree...Cooking yuck! I know but the kids can help mix and and if your making biscuits they can cut out shapes and decorate them. ( I used to love licking the bowl! Yummy...) Plus as an added bonus you can stock up on treats
  3. Dancing its great exercise and will keep the littleones entertained
  4. Arts and craft! Make sure everthing you use is non toxic and there is nothing they can choke on. It maybe messy but it is great fun.
  5. Dressup and pretend to be your favourite fictional character. (Role playing is great)
  6. As for the older ones, bowling, ice skating, roler blading, indoor rock climbing, camping the list goes on and on.) 
  7. Think what did you do for fun as a child it might give you a few clues as to what you can do now.

 So basically if you are having problems keeping them entertained be creative and variety doesn't hurt and who knows maybe you will have fun as well!

I'm not that very good at roller blading so I think that would be out of the question for me LOL! I would fall straight on my butt!! but bowling is a great idea. I havent done it with my family, but i have played it when i was a teenager and had a great time doing so! mmmmmm baking, sounds good to me! i love chocolate brownies, oh man do i ever miss my mom's baking LOL!
