Introduction
Summer is the season of endless possibilities, especially when you have kids at home. As a parent and the brand owner of Boddle Bath, I’m excited to share some creative ideas for beating boredom and making the most of those sunny days. Let’s dive into our summer survival guide, sprinkled with Boddle Bath’s boredom buster magic!
1. DIY Potions and Volcanoes
Tip: Grab a spoon, a cup, and some bubble bars or bath bomb rocks. Set up a mini science lab in your paddling pool on a hot day or enjoy the same sensory fun in a warm bath on a rainy afternoon. Watch their eyes light up as they create fizzing volcanoes and magical potions!
2. Treasure Hunt in the Cupboards
Tip: Raid your cupboards for forgotten treasures. Gather half-finished colouring books, activity sheets, and craft supplies. Spend an afternoon together cutting out favourite elements and creating a larger collage. Who knew cleaning could be so much fun?
3. Jelly Soap Sensory Adventure
Tip: Freeze jelly soap overnight, then let the kids warm it up with their hands. The temperature change is fascinating, and the slippery texture adds to the excitement. It’s like a sensory slip-and-slide right at home!
4. Explore Local Gems
Tip: Check out your local library, museums, and swimming clubs. Many offer free or discounted summer programs. Let the kids choose from arts and crafts workshops, archaeology clubs, and more. We’ve already enjoyed creative adventures at 4 locations!
Tip: For little pirates, dino enthusiasts, or rainbow lovers, explore Boddle Bath’s boredom buster letterbox gifts. They’re compact, exciting, and perfect for summer surprises! Currently on offer saving 30%!
6. Learn a New Skill
Tip: Summer is the ideal time to pick up a new skill. Dust off those bikes or skates sitting in the garage since Christmas. Learning to ride or skate together creates lasting memories.
7. Crafty Afternoons with Plaster Shapes
Tip: Visit the Wee Crafty Club! Let the kids paint their own plaster shapes. It’s a delightful way to spend an afternoon, and everyone can join in the creative fun. It's a fantastic opportunity for kids to express themselves artistically and enhance their fine motor skills.
8. Create a Nature Collage
Tip: Collect leaves, flowers, and twigs during outdoor adventures. Create beautiful collages using contact paper.
9. Sensory Play with the Curiosity Corner
Tip: Explore Curiosity Corner’s sensory dough kits and their summer range. They’re not only entertaining but also educational. And don’t miss their free downloadable play mats!
10. Summer Star Gazing:
Tip: Learn constellations together on warm clear summer nights. Let them copy the ones they find into a notepad for further research later.
Conclusion:
Remember, summer is about creating memories, exploring, and having fun. Let these boredom busters be your sidekick as you embark on these delightful adventures! 🌞🎨
