25 inexpensive ways to keep your kids Busy for the whole Summer
Have you run out of imagination and can't come up with entertainment for your child? We offer you a selection of unusual, but at the same time simple ways to keep your children busy from the popular American publication BuzzFeed.
1. Make of the adhesive tape of the road for cars.
2. Duct tape can also be used as an alternative to crayons. "Draw" a field for classics or any other game — it will take your child a long time.
3. A few dish sponges and a couple of colored crayons are all you need for an impromptu darts tournament.
4. Remember the paper dolls for carving, which were accompanied by a variety of clothes and accessories? You can make the dress-up game a little more realistic.
5. Exploding paint bags will turn the roads near your home into a real work of art.
To make colored bombs, you will need:
Mix the starch, vinegar, and dye and fill the bags with the mixture one-third full. Then pour the soda into the middle of the napkin and form a bomb out of it. Put the bomb in the bag and seal the bag tightly. Then shake the contents well. The bag will start to swell and in a few minutes there will be an explosion that will paint the streets with rainbow colors.
6. Interesting and colorful drawings will turn out if you draw with food coloring on liquid glue.
As a" canvas", you can use plastic lids from sour cream or cheese.
7. Another way to introduce the child to creativity with the help of bubble bags, paints and watman (an old piece of wallpaper is also suitable).
8. Make a tarp for playing ball with your own hands.
You will need a tarp, rope, scissors, marker, and tape.
9. Build a tower of sliced sponges.
This activity will temporarily calm the noisy child.
10. Make a river out of foil and a water bottle.
11. Attach the paper towel sleeve to the wall.
12. If you have a piece of burlap lying around — make it a canvas for embroidery.
This lesson will be useful for the development of fine motor skills.
13. Do you remember how you used to draw with sticks in the sand as a child? To reproduce this activity at home, use a box filled with sugar and a pencil.
You can print out the letters and ask your child to redraw them.
14. Set up a tent city. And don't forget to make a "bonfire".
15. Make a jet balloon.
You will need:
Pull the rope between the two chairs, first threading it through the straw. Inflate the balloon (but do not tie it) and attach it with tape to the straw. Let go of the ball ... and launch the rocket!
16. Arrange a home bowling tournament with improvised items.
17. The expertly attached rope will make your kids feel like superheroes.
18. Put the soap in the microwave and give your child a soap cloud.
19. Arrange a tennis competition with disposable plates, ice cream sticks and a hot air balloon.
Most importantly, with such a ball, you do not risk breaking the family vase.
20. Build a " web " of adhesive tape.
As projectiles, you can use balls from old newspapers.
21. If the size of the apartment allows, turn the stairs into a slide.
22. Make a rainbow snake out of soap bubbles.
You will need:
Cut off the bottom of the bottle and pull the sock over the resulting hole. Secure the sock with adhesive tape. Drop food coloring on the sock. Mix the dish detergent with a small amount of water. Dip your sock in this mixture and start blowing rainbow bubbles.
23. Another fun with soap bubbles.
To make giant soap bubbles, you will need a soap solution and an "inflating device", which can be used as a gymnastic hoop or two sticks with a rope.
24. Make a kapitoshka toy by filling balloons with flour.
25. Let your child become a designer of their own clothes.
