Kids seem to get bored really easily. They’ll love something for a while and then will quickly want to do something different. Whilst it’s great for kids to explore all different kinds of activities, it can be hard for parents to come up with creative ideas. Here we have some brilliant suggestions for how to keep kids entertained. Working your way through the list should buy you some time! And, you never know, your kid(s) might just fall in love with some of these games and activities! Take a look!
Hanging Water Balloons
Hang some water balloons and provide your kids with some soft bats! The ideal way to cool down on a hot day.
Kid Friendly Darts
Using some washable chalk, draw your kids a target area with some numbers in. Arm them with sponges and let them compete!
Glow Jars
Grab some non toxic glow sticks/bracelets and cut them open. Carefully transfer the fluid in to a jar. To get the wonderful color you see below, mix red, white and blue glow sticks.
Dinosaur Fossils
We love this idea! Grab a balloon and place a toy inside it. Fill the balloon with water, and some food coloring if you please. Secure the balloon and place it in the freezer. Once frozen, provide your kids with some safety goggles and let them use a blunt object to tap away at the ice!

Rainbow Lollies
Use different juices and freeze a layer at a time to achieve these scrumptious looking lollies!
Sugar Box
If you haven’t got any sand lying around, why not try out a sugar box instead? It works pretty much the same and is great for practicing letters and numbers.

Use tape to make a cool car track that won’t damage your flooring!
Shower Curtain Canvas
You can purchase basic shower curtains for as little as $1! Lay one down outdoors to give your kids a fun canvas to work with.
