Hi you can put your kids in summer camps or swimming classes which will keep them busy at the same time engage them in some or the other activity. So check out the best thing for your kid and enroll NA replied. Boys usually enjoy things like cricket and football and basically all the things related to sport where as girls enjoy dance, drawing and such things but there is no compulsion sometimes girls like sports and boys like dancing or drawing too.

Most of the kids these days like to go for swimming classes which keep them happy and also stays beneficial for their health hari replied. Hello All,
Yes making kids very busy in the vacation is an hard task because they will stick up to the television and will not get up in front of that so what would be the methods to put them busy can you share it. Saini replied. I stumbled upon blog post from Orchids The International School where the kids made snowman from paper plates and other materials. We did the same at our home with my son. My kid was highly energetic and very happy working with me patiently. Satish maini replied. Kids like to do activities that have a fun element. they like to be messy and have fun. Activities that are creative are also enjoyed by kids. Painting is one of the fun activities for kids. Kids love the fact that they can get messy while painting. Also activities that make use of creative imagination is great for kids such as paper cutting, origami and spray painting. Subah replied. I always make sure that kids have their hands full in vacation but not with studies but in other activities. My kids love exploring so this year we took them to nature trails and they loved watching birds with binoculars. We also had educational outings to museums and zoos. I also guided them in making crafts from wastes. they were very excited and now we have a lot of crafty items at our place, all made by them. When they started getting bored, I had a back up plan ready, being creative with paints. Kids love being messy and I also did not have issues with this as long as they are learning something.

Keeping a kid entertained may seem difficult. but I feel vacations can be fun and entertaining for kids. I always encourage my kids to be themselves and never enroll them in summer camps unless they are interested. I let them do what they want as only in vacations, they have the time to indulge in frivolous activities. I allow them to play out thus they have their daily dose of physical activity. Hide n seek, scavenger hunt are favourite games of my kids. The key to have a fulfilling vacation is by letting kids have fun.At home also instead of watching them, I encourage them to do something they like. this year, they indulged in different types of paintings and also in photography. So let the kids have fun in vacations.
