But replicating their school day exactly might not be necessary in this case. Instead, try keeping them happy and busy by trying out these below-mentioned activities: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Cooking_Something_Together\"><\/span>1. Cooking Something Together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children love playing and spending time in the kitchen. Most children also enjoy helping out in the kitchen. So, whenever you are preparing meals throughout the day, try engaging your little ones by inviting them into the kitchen and collaborating with them for the next snack or meal. Just make sure you provide them with silicone utensils for their safety. Children can help you out by<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Mixing wet and dry ingredients<br> \u2022 Washing the vegetables and fruits<br> \u2022 Mashing soft ingredients like boiled potatoes or bananas<br> \u2022 Stirring or scooping ingredients <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Painting\"><\/span>2. Painting <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, we are not talking about making your child create some elaborate painting. But children in general, enjoy experimenting with colors and creating drawings or paintings. So the next time pre-nursery classes are off, give your toddler a variety of objects to draw their inspiration from and paint. These objects can include something as simple as an apple, some leaves, or even their fingers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-To-Take-Care-Of-2-8-Year-Old-Children-at-Home______-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"learning at home\" data-id=\"4014\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/?attachment_id=4014\" class=\"wp-image-4014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-To-Take-Care-Of-2-8-Year-Old-Children-at-Home______-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-To-Take-Care-Of-2-8-Year-Old-Children-at-Home______-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-To-Take-Care-Of-2-8-Year-Old-Children-at-Home______-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-To-Take-Care-Of-2-8-Year-Old-Children-at-Home______-1200x678.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/How-To-Take-Care-Of-2-8-Year-Old-Children-at-Home______.jpg 1202w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Setting_up_obstacle_courses\"><\/span>3. Setting up obstacle courses<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Children love rolling, jumping, and crawling, and helping them engage in such physical activities by setting up indoor obstacle courses allows them to have fun too. Now depending on your children\u2019s age, always start with the smallest of obstacles, like stepping stones. Eventually, you can add regular household objects to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/how-to-create-a-homeschool-schedule-that-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"make opportunities (opens in a new tab)\">make opportunities<\/a> for your children to go around, under, through, and over these obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Breaking_out_those_bubbles\"><\/span>4. Breaking out those bubbles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your little one must love creating and popping bubbles, right? Well, which children, doesn&#8217;t? So why don&#8217;t you head out to your balcony or backyard and have fun with some bubbles with your little one? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now in case you were wondering about making these bubbles, it is pretty simple. All you will need is 3 cups of water, half a cup of corn syrup, and one cup of dish soap. Now you will have to stir the corn syrup slowly by mixing it with water and then mix in the dish soap while making sure you don&#8217;t create any bubbles in this process. Get a bubble wand or simply straws or kitchen tools to create those beautiful bubbles. That being said, if you are looking for a less messy and quick solution to creating bubbles then you can invest in a bubble machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EARLY-CHILDHOOD_2-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"Children parenting at home\" data-id=\"4015\" data-link=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/?attachment_id=4015\" class=\"wp-image-4015\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EARLY-CHILDHOOD_2-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EARLY-CHILDHOOD_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EARLY-CHILDHOOD_2-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/EARLY-CHILDHOOD_2.jpg 1203w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_Children_of_And_Above_5_Years\"><\/span>For Children of And Above 5 Years<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Children of this age love exploring and experimenting with new stuff, but they also appreciate schedule and structure. So, for making your Children\u2019s day away from daycare exciting, here are some ideas you could go for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Creating_A_Good_Scavenger_Hunt\"><\/span>1. Creating A Good Scavenger Hunt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking care of your children of 5 years and above love having some fun in scavenger hunting. Now we understand how much of a daunting task it might seem for any parent to create one but relax. You don&#8217;t need to create some elaborate plan and hide special clues or objects around the house. You can start by creating a simple open-ended scavenger hunt that prompts children to find \u201csomething soft or red\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Allowing_Them_to_Be_Your_Helping_Hand\"><\/span>2. Allowing Them to Be Your Helping Hand<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Daily chores might seem like a boring job that you as a parent have to do every single day. But that&#8217;s not what children feel. Children enjoy helping out adults in their daily chores, they even love pitching in with ideas. So why not use this opportunity to ensure that your child learns to do their daily chores all by themselves? Allowing them to give you a helping hand will make sure your child learns fast to make their beds, load the dishwasher and help clean up after themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, children of this age turn out to be great laundry champs so keep them engaged by asking them to help you out with sorting the laundry by colour or category. This is also a great opportunity to teach them how to fold those towels and t-shirts easily will help in taking care of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Getting_Them_to_Build\"><\/span>3. Getting Them to Build<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We can all agree how much children love building. That being said, if you are thinking that you don&#8217;t have enough material at home to get your little one to start building then you couldn&#8217;t be more wrong. To get your child started all you need are these things:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2022 Pipe cleaners<br>\n\u2022 Popsicle sticks<br>\n\u2022 Paper towels or toilet papers<br>\n\u2022 Shoe boxes<br>\n\u2022 Empty tissue boxes<br>\n\u2022 Random household items<br>\n\u2022 Scrap materials or wood<br>\n\u2022 Craft glue<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have all of this just give your child the task to build something like a town or a building and allow them to go crazy with their imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"720\" height=\"382\" src=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4017\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-2.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-2-300x159.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Moving_Around\"><\/span>4. Moving Around<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As a parent, it becomes a task to get your child going and burn some energy. And at the same time allowing that energy to build up isn&#8217;t a good idea. This is why taking frequent breaks from screen time and school work becomes important to get some movement. In case you are wondering how to go about this, list down some 5-minute games like a green light, red light, and hopscotch and then distribute these movement games throughout the day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Footprints-_The_Best_Preschool_for_Your_Little_Angel\"><\/span>Footprints- The Best Preschool for Your Little Angel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding on the best daycare for your child is an important decision in any parent\u2019s life. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Footprint prenursery classes (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.footprintseducation.in\/\" target=\"_blank\">Footprints prenursery classes<\/a> are where your little one can not only get the opportunity to have fun and learn new things but also create some beautiful childhood memories.
