How many times a day you listen to this- "Mumma I am bored, what should I do? Come n play hide and seek with me". It is very difficult to keep kids indoors and still busy at the same time. finding that one activity, except Phone/ TV/ Gadgets, which can keep them occupied so that you can take that much required nap.
Listing down the activities, which helped my daughter learn, be occupied and gave me some "Me Time"
Reading - When I asked my daughter to sit and read a book and switch off the TV, it always looked like a punishment to her. I realized that kids are very good at imitating, so first I left MY phone and started reading a book, slowly she started sitting with me. Now when I read, she also gets her book and sits next to me to read.
Art n Craft - This is one activity that's truly engaging. I make sure to keep aside all dabbas, kulhads, ribbons, studs, colorful papers so that whenever she is free, she can sit and show her creativity and make something new out of the waste and feels proud of doing that.
Rubik's Cube - If your kid builds his/her interest in this, it will become their passion to solve it. That's what happened with my daughter at least. Earlier she was a bit reluctant, but the moment she started understanding the logic, she went crazy for solving it.
Flame-less Cooking - Cooking now a days, is not just confined to females. So, we all should teach our sons and daughters to cook. It should obviously be flameless cooking for now, this helps them alot to become INDEPENDENT and RESPONSIBLE, you can start from putting bhujia/mixture in between two bread slices, or may be making a quick biscuit mug cake.
Water Ring Game - Going back to the memory lane, remember, how we used to play it for hours when we were a child. The same happens even now, there is no involvement of screens but still it works like a video game for kids.
Hope your kid will also enjoy these activities at home!
May their screen time decreases!
