GET THEM BUSY IN THE KITCHEN
Your kids will think you’re a magician when you make microwave mug cakes with them. This quick, fun activity will bring them so much excitement. Using just pantry ingredients, you can take a moment out of your day to whip up some delicious mug cakes together for the whole family to enjoy.

HOST A FUN BOOK REVIEW
Cultivating a habit of reading is always a great idea. Give your child a book to read and at the end of the week, host a review evening where they tell you about the book. Ask questions like, “What did you learn?”, “What was your favourite part?” and “Did you learn any new words?” (If you read the book yourself, you can ask more specific questions to discuss). This not only makes the activity engaging but also means you can give them undivided attention – something kids love.
SING LIKE A SUPERSTAR
Karaoke is a simple, budget-friendly way to entertain your kids. No need to hire a machine either because you can use YouTube and your home music system. Invite other kids and turn it into an event filled with singing and dancing. Feel free to provide some props and clothing so they can dress up. The best part? By the end of it, everyone will be worn out from all the fun, giving you a peaceful night’s rest.

HAVE A MOVIE MARATHON
Turn your living room into a cosy cinema. Rearrange the furniture, close the curtains and gather blankets and pillows to create a snug spot. The goal is comfort and fun. Pick out the movies, grab your favourite snacks (hot popcorn is a must!), snuggle up and enjoy the experience.
GET MOVING WITH YOGA
Kill two birds with one stone by doing yoga with your kids. Children are often drawn to activities their parents enjoy, and this will also get them moving and active while also calming them. Plus, it’s fun and adorable to watch them try to pull off those crazy yoga poses. (If you’re new to yoga yourself, they’ll love watching you falling around too!)
