With Covid affecting our day-to-day life we are all pretty much stuck at home which gives us more time to spend with our kids.We have decided to make your life easier by listing down several games and activities that you can play inside your house itself and keep your child entertained for hours.

 

1-Play House

Growing up one of my favourite memory was creating a makeshift fort house from bed sheets and chairs with my mom and spending hours on end playing inside it.You can sit with them inside and read their favourite bedtime stories.

 

2- Toy Phone

Your child must have seen you using your phone and might have even tried taking your phone on multiple occasions.Children are always curious and giving them a toy phone and pretending to talk using funny voices will definitely make them giggle.

 

3- Playing dress up

You might have noticed your child stare at her reflection in the mirror with an awe struck look.Well to make things interesting you can dress them up in different costumes and watch them get a more incredulous look on their face when they see their reflection.

 

4- Fetching Objects 

Asking them to fetch various objects around the house will definitely make them feel like an adult. It will also help to increase their mobility, walking or crawling skills and understand directions.

 

5- Tub Of Sand

Children love to play in the soft sand so you can fill up a tub with sand and they can spend hours digging, pouring and scooping around.

Alternatively you can fill the tub with water or even balls for them to play around.

 

6- Canvas Art

You can put up a huge canvas on the floor and let your child’s imagination run free using different colours of paint.It helps to develop their creative and imaginative skills.

 

7- Cardboard Tunnels

This is an amazing idea that can be used from all those empty cardboard Amazon boxes you have laying around.Cut the flaps and stick them together making an entrance as well as an exit for your baby to go through and come out at the other end.

 

8- Sensory Board

Take a poster board and stick different types of things like aluminium foil, plastic wrap, sandpaper, fur that your baby can touch and feel.

Make sure the pieces are not that big and they are stuck properly on the board because you don’t want your baby to put anything in their mouth accidentally.

 

9- Stacking Cups

If you have leftover plastic cups from a party then you can use these to keep your child entertained for hours on end.

They can stack the cups in different ways and break it down and rebuild it again.

 

10- Animal Play

You can put different animal photos in front of your face and make the appropriate sounds that each animal makes.

This will help babies recognise different animals in a fun way.

 

11- Vegetable Peels

Babies are always curious to touch and smell different things. 

While you are cutting and peeling vegetables you can let them play with the leftovers so they can feel the different texture and smell them.

 

12- Edible Slime

You will find so many edible slimes out in the market that is completely safe for a baby to use. You can make one and watch your baby play with it for hours while they squish it in their hands.

 

13- Sock Puppets

Take a sock and put it on your hand and have a puppet show for your baby.You can even give them a sock and teach them how to do so.

 

14- Sensory Bottles

Take an empty bottle and fill it with different objects. Make sure the lid is properly closed so that your baby can’t open it.They can rattle the bottle and be amazed listening to the sound it makes.

 

15- DIY Kit

There are various DIY Kits available in the market that you can buy for your child.

We recommend the DIY Rubberband Paddle Boat readily available in our website that is easy to make and will surely prove to be an entertaining time spent with your child. 

All these activities help in promoting brain development of your child while they have fun and explore their creativity. 

We hope you have a lot of fun playing these games with your kids.
