Learn to get bored, the art of doing nothing and look out the window being aware of the moment or to think about the hands and see what they do, how you have them, observe them. Practice the art of silence, 1 minute, just one.

Bird watching

Take a good visual guide of birds for your child to investigate different species. Take advantage and tell him about your childhood experiences with birds.

Add car number plates

Make sums of the numbers of the license plates of the cars you find. It is fun and educational.

Write a jar of good times

Every day, in a jar that you have previously decorated, write notes of the good times of each day.

Make a playful passport

With some leaves, create a booklet So that the child in each place we go can cross out if he has seen a church, a castle, a river, a lake, a museum, a painting, a sculpture, if he has gone by plane, boat ... Put points on each thing and give some prize! Gamifying helps learning.

Shameful things

Think of something that makes you very embarrassed, write it down and do it later.

Help others

Think of someone who need Help something, write it down and help you without telling you.

Invent a secret code

 Mysterious activities always capture the attention of the little ones. They can themselves create keys secret.

With the left hand

Learn to write with the left (or with the right if you are left-handed) for a while. Do things like brush your teeth or eating with the other hand.

Car or truck

When you see a "truck" car, when you see a truck say "car." It seems easy, but try it before. Practice it and model your brain to develop your creativity.

Filler word

Let the children watch their parents talk. When they say filler words like "you see", "like this", "that" or "that" ... say "filler word!".

Play cards or board games, learn a new one

A very group activity cuisine The thing that kids still like today is playing cards or playing a board game.

Do something with your own hands

Instead of buying things, try to do them with your own hands. A good example that motivates children is the white glue to stick, which is used for Crafts. You can also make glycerine soaps, a plate of salt paste, a napkin holder, restore an old piece of furniture, etc ... Think of something you need and before buying it, check google and youtube to do it yourself! Crafts with children are playful activities for children who succeed.

Make the genealogical tree of your family

It is a great family plan that can be done at home. Look for photos of the whole family and you see creating lines of union. A below the youngest, above the great-great-grandparents! Then frame it and store it well, they are your roots.

  1. Very interesting!
    It is always good to have resources like this. I add some more:
    - Cook and take the opportunity to do the calculations (if the recipe is for 4 and we are 5 ...), the different units of measurement ...
    - Summer diary: with the special activities carried out during the summer, it can be done in different formats (audiovisual, written, with images or illustrated, fanzine ...)
    - Plan a route on a map, the kilometers that are going to be done… (Even if it is how to get to the beach).
    - Build cabins in the forest.
    - To visit museums.
    - Watch movies in original version.
    - Observe the sky at night, look for constellations, planets ... Relate them even with mythological legends.
    I hope they help!

      Ole! Thanks Sílvia! In the end we will reach 50! Super good instructional and fun activities, yes sir. Thanks for contributing family 🙂

    Do you know the GEOCACHING ???
    A desire for adventure in nature, a GPS device or a smartphone is all it takes to practice geocaching, the "modern" and satellite-assisted version of the classic game of life: the search for the hidden treasure. An original activity that combines technology, physical activity and teamwork ability that is ideal for practicing with children.

      Great geocaching idea and input. We have ever done it, even with an old-fashioned compass 🙂 Great activity for this summer! We score well. Thanks for contributing Juan Carlos. A hug!

  3. Baby cars

    What great recommendations for parents to make with their children! We love all the activities you mentioned. Of course, taking advantage of the freedom and the outdoors, we always recommend traveling and sightseeing with the little ones. In this sense, now that there are so many people aware of practicing sports, we believe that an ideal alternative is to cycle with trailers. In this way, the little ones move with all the comforts and you create a most special bond.

      Of course tourism is an essential activity for the little ones, whether it is from km0 or far away, they are activities that undoubtedly educate and teach our children many things. Thanks for your proposals! a hug!
