1. We know that your everyday life is a bit of a mess, and that it comes to a point where youre unable to find something to keep the kings of the house entertained. Its something that has happened to even the best of us. Thats why we came up with a comprehensive list of small (and large) activities to do with your kids when it seems that the only solution left is to leave them to the TV. Lets get started, shall we?

2. 1 2 3FINGER PAINTING Depending on the age of your child, he might not quite have the hang of tools such as paint brushes, so using fingers is not only easier, but its also fun to feel the paint on our skin.MAKING POTATO STAMPS TO CREATE COLORFUL DRAWINGS WITH PAINT This activity is very simple and will keep them entertained for ages. You only need potatoes, paint and paper. Help them to create shapes in the potatoes with a knife and then proudly display his masterpiece in a prominent place of the house. The refrigerator is usually the best gallery for young artists.CREATE STUNNING PAPER HATS We love crafts and it is one of the most fun ways to spend an afternoon. Using coloured paper (you have to be creative), scissors and other materials (crayons, paints, glitter, feathers, dried pasta, etc ...) we can make some super original hats. The funny thing is that once theyre finished, you have to find them an outfit to match... 3. 4CREATE A NECKLACE WITH MACARONI, A BIT OF5USE A MIRROR AS A CANVAS6PREPARE SMOOTHIES TOGETHERSTRING AND FINGERPAINTS Again, dry pasta is a great resource to create jewelry of all kinds. Necklaces of macaroni with ravioli pendants, bracelets of shells, and if you are good at making things, you can even make earrings with fusilli. With a handful of pasta and a bit of creativity, we will soon become master jewelers."Mirror, mirror, on the wall, tell me which side Im going to paint today". All classical painters painted themselves at some stage in their lives. And youre not going to be any less. To do this, you must have a sheet of semi-transparent paper, place on the mirror and look through it. Now you can sketch in pencil the outline of your face (stick it to the mirror with tape, to work more freely). And if you want, finish the drawing at the table, were sure youll find the results is amazing.It is very important that from an early age children get in the habit of eating fruit. We know its complicated, but if they participate in the process of preparing the fruit, its more likely they will complain less, and fruit smoothies are an easy way to make this source of vitamins and antioxidants more attractive. Try mixing the fruit with milk or ice-cream to make it extra special. 4. 7 8 9PREPARE AN ORIENTATION DAY In a world full of technology, sometimes we forget too much about the big outdoors. The sun is a great ally, together with a map and a compass, it can help us to learn about our surroundings. We believe it is an interesting way to get in touch with the natural world that surrounds us.SING HIS FAVOURITE SONG Singing is a great exercise, it tames the beasts and enlivens the soul. And if he doesnt ye have a favorite song (which we doubt) surely you can get find one of those with a catchy chorus that you cant get out of your head for the rest of the day.CREATE PAPER MACHE MASKS USING A BALLOON Inflate a balloon to the desired size. Then in a bowl, mix 2 parts glue to 1 part water and mix well. Then, break strips of newspaper, add to the water-glue mix and adhere to the balloon. When you have two or three layers, let it dry for 2 or 3 days, until it is completely rigid. Finally, take the scissors and finger paints, and get creative! 5. 10BLOW SOAPY BUBBLES It really is fascinating how a bucket of water and a couple of drops of washing up liquid can keep the little ones entertained for hours. Add a wire forming a circle and and youll have them entertained for a while. It can also be a fun game if you have his friends over, because all you need is a simple rule to see who bursts more bubbles, and the game begins.11COLLECT SEASHELLS FROM THE BEACH12GO FOR A STROLL THROUGH THE PARKNot everybody lives near the sea, so not everyone can just pop down to the beach, but whenever its possible, its nice to take a walk by the sea shore. To collect shells from the beach while enjoying the infinite horizon that the open sea gives us is one of the greatest feelings of freedom that can be experienced by man.Walking is one of those sports that doesnt actually look like a sport, but that is one of the healthiest exercises for our children. Go to a nearby park, let him run among the trees or play on the slides, it wont just keep him entertained, it will also help him to burn some of that excess energy. 6. 13BUILD A BLANKET FORT And like all forts, once built, it is best to decorate it with the theme that you most enjoy: forest, desert, outer space ... and once ready, we can play at defending it from an enemy attack of stuffed animals.14PREPARE A LITTLE DANCE AND SHOW IT15CREATE A ROBOT COSTUME USINGTO THE FAMILY Nothing like a challenge to encourage the little one, because for them the family is the most important audience (a first class audience) Its best to use a song that they like and Im sure the end result will be more that awesome (make sure you tape it for future reference).CARDBOARD BOXES Who doesnt like robots? All you are a few used cardboard boxes, markers or pens, tape and scissors. With a little imagination and a bit skill, you can obtain spectacular results.

Its ideal for inside and out.17PLANT A TREE TOGETHER18MAKE A SMALL FINGER PUPPET THEATREThough you may not know exactly what to plant: choose a plant or a tree (lentils are perhaps the easiest option to start), the pleasure of creating life, making the environment a better place and teaching them something somethings thats valuable is priceless.You can use a box and a couple of tea towels as curtains. Decorate your familys and yours fingers with different characters. Its complicated, but remember to leave the camera rolling whilst youre having fun. 8. 19DRESS STUFFED ANIMALS WITH SOME OF HIS OLD CLOTHES When it seems that their clothes are too small now and theyre totally forgotten in the bottom of a box, its time to re-use them. But this time well be using the stuffed animals as models. Dont worry, were sure that theyll be willing to have an extreme makeover. Were sure youll feel like one of the big fashion designers before the catwalk.20MAKE BISCUITS USING HIS FAVOURITE21USING A MICROPHONE, PLAY AT RECORDING ACHOCOLATE There are many recipes online to bake cookies at home.

You can use extra things you have at hand, once you have everything ready, give them the honor of pushing the first piece.33BUILD A HOUSE OF CARDS Patience is a virtue, and card games often teach us to be patient, to take things easy and to wait for the right time to play that ace we keep up our sleeve. A house of cards will teach you to be patient, and encourages perseverance and creativity. 13. 34BUILD A TELEPHONE35PLAY A GAME OF TAG36SKIP ROPE TOGETHERThe title sounds complicated, but what we propose is very simple technology: a phone made of 2 aluminum cans joined together with string.

And best of all, you wont have to worry about the bill!Perfect for a picnic day or at the park. You start by setting boundaries and then the first player is chosen.

Thats how chess becomes so addictive! 19. 52PLAY "I SPY"53GO FOR A BIKE RIDE54GO CAMPINGThis typical game is frequently used to shorten long car trips.

First is the rush from driving: kids have the opportunity to grab the wheel and take charge, and second, having complete freedom to crash again and again as if it was an action movie.We are accustomed to having pets, that we can stroke and play with when we like. But when it comes to wild birds, its a different story. So you should get a book about birds in your area, dont be surprised, even though youd never thought about it, in any bookstore you will find one to suit your needs. The other thing we need are binoculars and the desire to have fun. Youll see how nature is closer than ever.GO TRAINSPOTTING The world of trains and locomotives moves a lot of people all over the world, and not only in people that collect miniature railway sets. Watching trains pass is a timeless activity, that impresses young and old since 1825. Its a fascinating world, especially through the eyes of a child. 22. 6162 63TAKE HIM TO A MUSEUM There is nothing more fun than doing fun things. And although this adjective is rarely associated with museums, every day that passes the entertainment and educational value of these have improved, especially focussing their attention on the enjoyment of the little ones.

And if not, it will be up to you to show them it with a different point of view.TEACH HIM TO RIDE A SCOOTER (NOT THE MOTORISED KIND) A scooter is fun and safe. It doesnt require enormous effort or special positions, it gives a certain independence and enables short legs to move faster than you.

Separate the two parts and keep the metal joints for another time (you never know when you might need them). Use glue to attach the wooden pegs together. Start with simple objects like a raft or a sled. Youll soon be creating new and exciting toys.GIVE THEM A PIGGY BANK TO COLLECT THEIR PENNIES It is very important to teach kid from an early age the value of money. When buying something you want (like a pack of stickers or some sweets) means saving up for two weeks, it teaches them that things in the world have a value and that you have to work to get them. Things should never be taken for granted. 24. 67 68 69SHOOT A MOVIE SEQUENCE It takes many people to make a film, but when production is done at home, everybody has to do a bit of everything.

You will soon be pointing to the sky shouting: "Look, it looks like ..."IN AN EDUCATIONAL MANNER In this case its important HOW you present this new food. Try using different food colours (the more striking the better, like carrot orange, or lemon yellow) and shapes (fish fingers can become earth, and the mashed potatoes, fluffy clouds). Only by treating the plate as if it were a canvas will you open up your child to new and interesting foods like vegetables or fish.EACH HIM TO TIE HIS LACES. Each and every one of us have learned to tie our shoelaces from somebody in a different way. Its funny to think that when we leave this useful knowledge to future generations, its going to be for a lifetime. Dont get left behind, be a part of history by teaching your children to tie their shoelaces. 26. 73 74 75TEACH HIM TO RECYCLE Learning through play is the easiest way, because when its fun, information is assimilated faster and better.

Once we get the theory out of the way, its time to put it into practice and let them help you separate the waste.BUSINESS TIME Create a fictitious business around something he likes (a bakery, a zoo, etc... ) and show him the value of money through it. Ask him to give you change, to pay suppliers, to keep the premises, to make his customers happy. His mission isnt to get rich, but to understand how everything works, you never know if his future self will become an entrepreneur..PREPARE A THEME PARTY Usually the kings of the house have a theme that is their favorite (from a story, a profession such as a pirate or a princess, or something simpler, like a colour). Take advantage of this theme to prepare him and his friends a party. 27. 76PREPARE A COLOUR SAFARI Prepare some simple rules, because although the game that we propose is simple, it could end up in an argument if that vase you thought was red during your whole life is actually orange. Its a colour safari. Pick a color, and on the count of 3, run away and find as many objects around the house in that color (no need to carry them, you can tag them with post-it notes with your name on it). Finally, the person who finds the most items in the selected colour, wins.77 78KEEP THE BALLOON IN THE AIR All you have to do is keep a balloon in the air without dropping it. The good thing is that balloons are harmless and dont tend to damage objects they may crash into, so here you can make your own rules, but you have to comply with the following one: if it falls on the ground, you lose.GUESS WHAT IM THINKING Wed all like to be like Sherlock Holmes, so its good to train the mind for when we want to use our deductive powers. To do this, think of an object, and ask your kids to guess asking questions that can only be answered with yes or no. Youll oblige them to think about the answers, to use their brains in an exercise that will help develop their deductive powers. 28. 79IMPROVISED STORIES In these shared stories, one only knows how they start (Once upon a time) but never how they end (thats the fun of the game). Use a timer to change the narrator every 30 seconds. This narrator will have to continue the story where the previous narrator left it.80PLAY WITH A SPINNING-TOP, A DIABOLO OR ANY81SHIPWRECK ON A DESERT ISLANDOTHER TRADITIONAL TOY What? You dont remember how it was done? Thats okay, another reason to buy one and spend an afternoon in the park learning for a second time.

Our mission in this game is to rescue whoever has into fallen the sea; we can also signal for help by waving a handkerchief, making sure not to leave our little island. 29. 82LEARN TO SWIM There is nothing better than to help our kids to lose their fear of water from an early age. Use a child float (arm bands, inflatable ring, foam tubes, etc ...) to keep them safe and help them complete their first lengths.83GET THE PHOTO ALBUMS OUT84TAKE HIM TO THE SUPERMARKETAnd begin telling stories about the people who appear. Its a great way for him to learn about the world before he came along, see family he hasnt met in person and teach him about relationships. Youll see how in no time he starts asking all sorts of things whilst pointing at the photos.There are loads of things you can do here, for example, let him choose 1 item that he has never tried before, open him up to try new things. Remind him that he can only choose one thing, so he thinks wisely about his choice. Youll keep him entertained, and at the same time, were sure that hell surprise you. 30. 85CREATE A WEATHER MAP86HELP HIM TO CREATE AN ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT87On a sheet of paper, make a table with 7 columns and 4 rows (one for the days of the week, and the other three to separate morning, afternoon and night). Now let him draw the weather in each box depending on how that day turns out. This will give him sense of time and will teach him to keep a chore responsibly.We all dream of having superpowers and have the ability to throw lightning bolts from our hands. To help them keep this dream, and to also teach them some secrets of electricity, build together a simple electrical circuit. A battery, some cable, a switch and a small light bulb will be enough to get you started.TEACH HIM TO MAKE BRACELETS Because not every day does the sun shine and sometimes we want a more relaxing activity, such as learning to make bracelets with threads; its simple and very relaxing. Get coloured thread, tie a knot at one end and start braiding. On the internet you can find lots of types of knots and creative braids explained step by step. 31. 88CHEF FOR A DAY89IMPROVISED STORYTELLING Heres a way to help develop their imagination in a very simple: write random words on bits of paper and put them in a bowl.

Add your concoction to the oven, and once its done, enjoy it like little kids.TRAVEL AROUND THE WORLD You can do it without leaving your chair, because a little imagination can take you thousands and thousands of kilometers. Get a globe, spin it and stop it with your finger on a random country. Tell him a story about this country, its climate and its people... A good way to have fun and learn at the same time. 32. 91 92 93ABC AT HOME Learning the alphabet can be fun, since all the objects around us have a name. Therefore we propose to use post-it notes to help name the things in your house. All you have to do is mark the items that start with that letter (put a T on a table).BUILD A FISHING ROD TO HOME Nothing better than to spend a few moments acquiring skill, therefore using a stick, a piece of string and something as a hook (without tip, a flipped hanger will do), build a fishing rod to catch stuffed animals from the sofa and this way rescue the bears that are on the floor.TRIP TO THE PHOTO BOOTH Draw several types of glasses and mustaches on paper, cut them out and use them to make funny pictures as if you were in a photo booth. We recommend a white background (a wall or a piece of cloth will do). 33. 94 9596PLAY WITH THE DICTIONARY Do you think that analogue is dead? Not yet, grab a dictionary from the shelf, propose a word at random and time how long it takes him to find it.CELEBRATE RECYCLING DAY The international day that marks recycling day is May the 17th, but you can celebrate it whenever you like. A few days before, start storing anything that you were going to throw out, and save them to build something.

Start with basic shapes like the crocodile, the dog or the eagle.One of the players thinks of an object or a person, and the other has 20 questions to try and guess what youre thinking. Having limited questions means that you have to carefully think the questions you ask, which is perfect for the kings of the house. If you want to make it more difficult, reduce the number of questions by half.Take a deck of cards and deal the cards face down on the floor or table. Once there nicely placed, lift them up two at a time at random and remember them. Now put them back in their place and pick another two. When youve seen a couple of cards, you should be able to pick up 2 identical ones from memory (with the same number for example) in one go. Remove them from play, and continue picking up pairs.. 35. 100 101WHO IS ROBIN HOOD?
