Summer Vacations are a big time for kids and even bigger time for parents!  What to do? What not to do? How to manage kids? Listed below are a few fun things to do with your kids, and most of them are free!

Kids always love to mess up and do something gooey! Do it with your kids. Get some edible flour, oil, flavors and food colors. You can use the natural colors from fruits and veggies. Corn flour, wheat flour, beetroot juice, olive oil, and even some melons! Smash it with them and have fun time!

It is not just a fun activity, but also a great stress buster! It helps to de-stress you. Try it.

Watch an animated or cartoon movie / a kid’s movie at night

Why should you always wait for a new movie to be released at theaters? Not many kids love to watch the movies in theaters! Now, almost everyone has a home theater. Discuss as a family and create a list of movies that your kids always love to watch. Enjoy the movie as a family; it would be such a memorable experience.

Picnic outdoor in Indoor

Do you have a garden or an empty space in your backyard? Alternatively, a terrace that you can convert to a picnic spot. Even if you live in a small apartment with no extra space, convert your living room or bedroom into a picnic spot. Just lay out a colorful sheet, cook or buy all the goodies your children would love to eat. (Of course, keep it healthy and minimize junkies). Cupcakes, lemonades, sandwich, fruits, cookies, etc. Decorate the picnic spot in indoors or outdoors with stuffed animals! Another thing I love to do is plan a vacation outdoors with the kids. I have the kids help me look through the motorhome hire selections and then we pick a campground within an hour of home.

Humorous Selfies

Why not make the most of the self-ie technology? Kids love to operate mobile phones and tablets! Have fun time with your kids getting some cool selfies with hilarious bowling shirts where you can print them out at home!

Bubbles

Who doesn’t love blowing bubbles? Even adults love to blow bubbles, as it is great fun. Create your own soap bubbles with ingredients available at home. You can use a pipe cleaner or a wire hanger to create the wand.  Have some funny competition with your kids to check who can blow bigger bubbles! It is a funny and entertaining experience.
