Things to Do With Children At Home
Children can easily get bored with whatever they are doing and can create a lot of problems for their parents if they do not have anything to do. Especially in vacations, children are looking for new and different sets of entertainment everyday to keep themselves busy. Such things can range from drawing to practical games to outdoor activities. Even a trip to the wildlife park can be an enthralling experience for the little ones. In this article, we will tell you about some of the things you can do with your toddlers to ensure they remain busy.

1
Drawings, sketches, colouring books
Kids find drawings, sketches and colouring books as a great means to keep themselves busy. They can spend hours and hours on colouring the characters in colouring books. If they are the creative sort, you can also encourage them to draw their favourite characters themselves and then colour them. -

Painting chart papers
Using oil paints to draw chart papers of their favourite drawings can also be an engaging experience for the children. Just make sure you keep an eye on what the kids are up to when it comes to painting since it can get quiet messy. -

Board games
Board games are also a great way through which you can keep your kids interested for a long period of time. Monopoly, Scrabble and the like are sure to test their brains and keep you busy as well. These days, many board games are also available on tablets and personal computers. If you have one of those, make sure to install the latest applications to keep your toddler(s) busy. -

Decorating their own rooms
Children can find it a lot of fun if you allow them to decorate their rooms themselves. Give them a bunch of supplies and tell them to decorate their room in whatever way they prefer. If they want to rearrange the furniture, help them with it. This way, they will also learn how to keep their rooms organised. -
5
Hunt for the treasure
You can hide something in the house and then give them clues to find it. This is sure to keep your toddler engaged since kids have a natural curiosity and will try their level best to find the treasure. When they do find it, treat them. This will make them happy and they will be up for the next task. -
6
Camping in the garden
Put up a tent outside in the garden and take your eatables and other stuff there. This can give your kid a real feeling of camping outdoors and will keep themselves busy. They can run around the garden, do their tricks and can then return to the safety of their camp when they feel like. -

Clay designs
Giving children the ready-to-make clay can be a good and intuitive way to keep your young ones busy. Tell them to make various figurines with their clay and then have them paint those. -
8
Homemade bowling alley
Spray paint disposable plastic bottles and make them look like bowling pins. Then have them play with them using their football or basketball. Tell them to clear all the pins with one attempt. This will surely keep them busy for hours. -

Car wash day
Make your kids wash your car with you in the garage. Tell them to apply the soap to the car and then have them wash it away with a hose. -

Wildlife park trip
If you kid is done with all these activities to do at home, simply take him/her out for a wildlife park trip. Kids can relate a lot with the animals they see in their course books and when they see them for real.
