Night Time Exploration
Take your kids to your nearest park or local playground with a flashlight after sunset and see what you can find.

Build a Pillow Fort (so much fun when done with the whole family)
Have your very own slumber party right at home.

Go on a Field Trip

Organize a Home Talent Show
Set the stage for your kids’ development by having a talent show at home. This is a great way to show them that it’s okay to be a beginner at doing something they love, like singing or dancing. What’s important is that you get in on the fun too! Play them a song on the guitar or show them a picture that you made. It doesn’t have to be great, but your kids will love seeing you can be creative too.
You and your kids can even prepare the snacks by looking at simple recipes to prepare. This is also a learning experience for older children or older kids to know some basic snacks that they can prepare when you are out on a sunny day to work.
You can even make it more special by inviting friends and family over to watch their performance.

This can serve as a place for them to know more about themselves and a good place for the parents to bond and catch up!
Make a Scavenger Hunt
