KAROO NEWS - The school holidays came a few days earlier, but parents need not fret about preventing their youngsters from becoming bored. Here are a few ways to keep children busy at home. The bonus? They're all free!
Family game night
Keep the little ones busy with a game of twister, cards or charades.
Family movie night
Grab the popcorn and get comfy! With ABC-movie nights, you can take turns to choose different movies starting with different letters.
Gardening
The Karoo has received much-needed rain recently, so what better time to enjoy an afternoon in the garden? Teach little ones about the fun of growing your own herbs.
Baking
We know, it's a lot of work, but at least you'll get to eat something yummy afterwards.
A scavenger hunt
Make a list of thing you hid, and watch as the fun unfolds. If you choose your hiding spots well, this could keep youngsters busy for some time.
A dance-off
Remember that delicious baked item you ate? Shake it off in a fun dance-off
A cleaning competition
Is this only a way to trick your child to help with chores? Yes. Are we ashamed? No.
'Write a book'
Let the little creatives set their imaginations free. Send a copy to paula@groupeditors.co.za if you think it's worth sharing.
Write letters
We're sure your neighbours, grandparents or friends will appreciate this.
Have a picnic
Your own garden is the perfect spot.
How many birds can the youngsters count?
