If you’re a busy parent, you’re always looking for innovative ways to find balance in your routine. Whether you're working or studying from home, we’ve rounded up some ideas to help make things easier. Read on for a list of activities to keep kids busy, learning and entertained while you work or study:
Give kids the opportunity to help others by sifting through their toy bins, closets and games and gather up anything they've outgrown or no longer use. Next time you're out and about, make dropping off your donations a family activity.
Create your own reading challenge by giving each child a reading goal customized to their capabilities – whether they read a designated number of chapter books or simply browse through a handful of board books. Consider rewarding them with a small prize such as a new book, small toy, a homemade certificate or even a one-on-one trip to the library.
We all know that giant cardboard boxes make for great pretend houses, but there’s a lot that you can do with those everyday Amazon boxes too. With a few markers and a little creativity you can turn your medium-sized boxes into racecars – complete with paper plate wheels and steering wheels!
