By building a hanging nest, a feeder, and including a bowl of water, you can do a lot to support our feathered friends. Birds will be drawn to it and begin to reside in the nest the kids built after a few days. Giving kids the task of feeding the birds and refilling their water bowl will encourage them to develop a loving nature.


Spending time with loved ones while enjoying enjoyable family activities can be one of life's greatest pleasures. Today's parents rely on media technology like watching television, using their phones or laptops to get their children interested in activities, but this is not beneficial for the children because they can only watch and not participate. It isn't helpful or constructive for kids.

These are some enjoyable activities that parents can do with their kids on days off:

Playing Classic Games

You can indulge your nostalgia by playing games from your own youth. Teach kids more about these games and how you had played them because they're not harmful like online gaming, which is so addictive in nature that a child can sit and play for long continuous hours without drinking water or eating food. It is usually preferable to teach your children about classic games because they are entertaining without posing any health risks, and they also teach children more about their parents' youth, strengthening the bond between them and their parents and fostering healthier connections.

Cooking Together

Another one of the many things that will be successful is cooking; try creating a new cuisine or just bake a cake with your child. Take your child's advice and let them assist you as appropriate for their age. Take a lot of photos and keep them as keepsakes.

Make a family tree

You should help your child make a family tree with you so they may start by either putting family members on a chart or can even use a template on the computer. The majority of difficulties with kids are that they don't know much about their family, their ancestors, their relationships, or history. In order to provide particular information about their family history, people are free to go back as many generations as they like. By the end of the project, kids will have a better grasp of their family lineage. Children can add images if they are available, or they can simply write down their names and the connection with other family members.

Play an Indoor Treasure Hunt

You can do this by drawing a map of the house, hiding toys or other items for the kids throughout the house, handing the kids the maps, and letting them search the house on their own. You can also give the kids hints by giving them riddle cards that are related to the location to make it more interesting.

Make a bird feeder and nest

By building a hanging nest, a feeder, and including a bowl of water, you can do a lot to support our feathered friends. Birds will be drawn to it and begin to reside in the nest the kids built after a few days. Giving kids the task of feeding the birds and refilling their water bowl will encourage them to develop a loving nature. Parents can use the internet to learn the DIY craft of building bird feeders and nests in order to make their own. Kids should be assisted in building the nest and feeder by their parents.

Building a Garden

Grow a flower or a vegetable garden with your child if you are fortunate enough to have a yard. You might prepare a little area so that your kid can plant flowers there. An outdoor pastime that is enjoyable, healthful, and educational is gardening. Your kids will learn responsibility through gardening, and you'll spend less on food overall. If you live in an apartment, you may quickly turn your disused balcony into a garden.

DIY Works of Art

It's time to get out all the markers, glue, paint, paper, and other supplies you have lying around the house and set the kids loose. When you're finished, take the 2D pieces and hang them with clothespins from string or baker's twine, put the 3D pieces on shelves, and host your own pop-up gallery.

Try dressing up

Playing dress up is beneficial for kids since it develops their imagination and self-confidence, but it's also just plain enjoyable for the whole family. Allow your children to choose one, and join them in dressing up!

Finish the Jigsaw Puzzle

Most of us haven't engaged in this activity since we were young. There aren't many occasions where you can focus solely on one thing, so be here now and shut off the rest of the world. Even just that will make the time worthwhile.

The list of entertaining things you can do with your family is endless! These might be enjoyable family activities or independent, open-ended tasks for your child to finish.
