Autumn is here for good, the cold is more noticeable and your home becomes the ideal retreat for your children.
Staying at home with your children will harbour more opportunities to spend quality and creative time together.
Really, when was the last time you had genuine fun with your kids? In this article, you’ll discover 4 unique ideas for authentic family moments!
- Plan a Treasure Hunt!
If your little one and their friends are adventurous, why not organize a treasure hunt?
Besides, it’s not as difficult as it sounds, and it will keep them excited and busy for quite some time.
It is simple: hide some gifts in a fairly inaccessible part of the house. Then, select another part of the house and place a riddle there that will refer, when solved, to the place where the gifts are hidden. Then, select the third spot and put a riddle that points to the part of the house where you have hidden the other riddle. You can do the same for different locations, each with different riddles, memory games or puzzles. Children will have to solve everything to get the gifts.
However, it is very important that all of these trials are suitable for their age and that the children can actually find them. It is better to have scalable difficulty, with the last one being the most difficult and the most exciting!
- Home Cinema Night!
What better than a nice movie of their favourite superhero or a children’s adventure that will take the whole family to mysterious worlds? Wear your pyjamas, get under to soft blankets, make lots of popcorn … and you have the perfect setting for a great night in!
- Create a Family Collage
What would you say to spend your evening by the fireplace, gathering some of the most beloved or special photos of the whole family and to create a unique family collage?
Not much is needed. Plenty of photos, scissors, glue, a large cardboard or a thin plywood – and everything else you can imagine: from items of special emotional value to the family, to tree leaves and children’s crafts!
4. Organize a Pyjama Party!
When it’s cold outside and it gets dark earlier, a pyjama party with your child’s best friends would be a great idea on weekends. Once they are exhausted and are full of playtime and giggles, you can put them under their warm blankets and read them a relaxing tale with a low lighting.
You can even invite your child’s friends earlier in the day so they enjoy more playtime together and, once it get closer to bedtime, you can organize a whole bunch of activities, from board games to movies. You could also customize the bedroom to accommodate their favourite adventure – a camp in a haunted forest, a princess or knight’s castle, perhaps a deserted planet, and so on.
LIFETIMEkidsrooms’ themed bedrooms, with their unique designs, furniture and accessories, are easily transformed into endless playgrounds, and just as quickly in the perfect space for a good night’s sleep for your little angel and their friends!
