Who is the most interesting game partner and the tireless inventor of new activities? Well, mom, of course! She can help with the crafts, and she\u2019ll read a fairy tale in different voices, and arrange a tea party with dolls and teddy bears on top of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the \u201cgreat showman\u201d also needs a break sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re not even talking about speeches and reports that will be done if the kids fall asleep, or their grandmother takes them. We\u2019re talking about those precious minutes you need to wash your hair, make dinner, check your email or just have a nice quiet cup of tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We offer you some fascinating activities for children in which your participation is hardly needed (just a little preparation). Kids will have a lot of fun and you will get a quiet time for your lovely self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Fashion show<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>put together a box of clothes you don\u2019t wear (don\u2019t like, don\u2019t care about, left for charity, etc.), shoes and accessories (your partner\u2019s clothes is also fine).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>give out all these \u201criches\u201d<\/strong> to the kids and announce a fashion show. While the children dress up, you drink coffee, sometimes exclaiming, \u201cOh my goodness! Who is this? \u201d, every time another \u201clollapalooza\u201d does the catwalk towards you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Make-up artist<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>children\u2019s face paint set, or make-up you don\u2019t mind wasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>you sit the child in front of a mirror, give them the set and ask to surprise you with fabulous makeup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Clarify right away that they\u2019re only allowed to draw on the face and neck (well, or legs). Do your own thing, but at the same time keep in mind that a certain «something» may emerge from the bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      1. Magnet story<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>you need a fridge door and all the stupid souvenir magnets. If you have letter or figurine magnets, even better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Activity:<\/strong> <\/em> you put a chair in front of the refrigerator (don\u2019t forget to get all the food for cooking out of it); you give them all the \u201cmagnetic material\u201d and ask them to lay out a pattern or a picture from them, or make up a story. You then calmly cook dinner to the mumble of the «master.»<\/p>\n\n\n

        1. Turkish hotel<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          Preparation: <\/strong><\/em>a pile of any towels, even kitchen ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>remind the kids how hotel workers folded towels in interesting ways, and ask them to create figures of the kind on all possible beds and sofas. You make a mask or wash your head. When the «maids» are finished, you\u2019d need to guess who they made: an elephant or a swan. Don\u2019t forget to leave a tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          1. My wealth<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            Preparation: <\/strong><\/em>old, but nice magazines, scissors, glue, a notebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Activity: <\/strong> <\/em>the child task is: \u201cFind all the things in a magazine that you really like and \/ or would like to have, cut these pictures out and put them in a notebook\u201d. You can ask them to make some interesting captions. And that\u2019s it. Get some rest. Then look at the \u201cnotebook of wishes\u201d<\/strong> together, listen to the comments — you\u2019d once again be surprised at the taste of your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            1. \u201cAngry Birds\u201d (home version)<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

              Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>all the plush toys (plastic ones are fine too if you\u2019re not afraid of the noise). If there aren\u2019t enough toys, take balls of yarn, \u201clumps\u201d of socks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>it\u2019s best to play in the hallway: some toys are for building castles and towers; others are used as projectiles. If the kids can write and count, add a scoring system. You do your household chores whilst listening to victory and defeat yelps from the hallway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              1. Bespoke bedding<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>an old single-color pillowcase (a sheet for patient kids), a set of permanent markers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>offer the kid to create a bedding \u201cof his dreams\u201d<\/strong>. Drawings can be on any subject. An ornament, a landscape, a portrait, abstract art, letters and numbers — as long as the little one wants to sleep on it. You can utilize old T-shirts, pajamas, socks the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                1. A penny saved is a penny earned<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                  Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>all the coins from purses and piggy banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>we ask to help with sorting and counting coins. If they do that quickly, suggest building a super high tower or make a coin pattern on the table (floor). You can read the newsfeed as you listen to the sweet sound of coins and proudly text your friends that your kid is doing math all by themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                  1. Portrait artist<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                    Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>a large sheet of paper (a piece of wallpaper would be perfect), a thick black watercolor pen or a marker. A volunteer (the child, you, any family member).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>the volunteer lays down on the piece of paper and you draw an outline of them (just like in a scary movie). And now the child has to create the volunteer\u2019s portrait by \u201cfilling out\u201d this outline: draw a face, the hair, the clothes, the jewelry. It looks like you\u2019ve got time to call a friend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    1. A kind person.<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                      Preparation:<\/strong> <\/em>none
                      Activity:<\/strong> <\/em>you need to prepare a short story about how important it is to be kind and help those who need it. And then ask the child to think and put together some things that are still good but that they don\u2019t use anymore and are ready to give it to those that need it more. You\u2019d both benefit from this as a result: you\u2019d get free time and the child would get a chance to sort stuff by the \u201cneed it-don\u2019t need it\u201d principle and a lesson in kindness.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
