Your kids may have probably asked if they could help you out in the kitchen every once in a while. Baking and cooking are the perfect ways to keep your children entertained this summer. There are a number of delicious and simple recipes out there that you can make together such as fruit shakes or granola bars.

Additionally, the kitchen offers plenty of perks for your little ones. From encouraging healthy eating, hidden maths through measuring, getting creative with flavors, or just simply having fun! Make this activity even more kid-friendly with the help of easy to use blenders such as Hanabishi’s SUPER BLENDER HJB 326. From iced delights and cupcakes to picnic bites, there are loads of recipes your kids are sure to love.

Tie-Dye Shirts

If you’re looking for a unique summer activity to do with your kids, here’s a great one! Tie-dyed shirts are not only fun to make, but also trendy to wear. Kids can express their creativity through their choice of color and designs. This is also an excellent way to recycle and make use of your old clothes as well as any fabric you want to give a quick makeover to.

Tie-dye coloring can be found at office or school supply stores near you. If you don’t have access to commercial tie-dyes, you can easily search for ways to make natural dyes using food that you have at home. Additionally, there are endless patterns to make with just the use of rubber bands! Here’s a quick and simple guide to making tie-dye shirts.

Backyard Water Games

What’s summer without water activities? For a more intimate bonding experience with the family, there are plenty of water games you can try in the comfort of your own home. If you own an inflatable pool, you’re already capable of making your summer experience worthwhile. If not, water activities with water balloons, water guns, or your own water hose can be just as fun. You can beat the heat, have fun, and be active with water games. After the kids are done playing, you can reward them with a refreshing summer smoothie!

Camping

Not a fan of the water? This one’s a great choice for families that are young at heart and that love nature. Indoors or outdoors, the first thing you’ll need is a tent (or hang up some sheets to make one). Drag your mattresses or mats inside to create your own little adventure in the comfort of your own home.

There are simple ways you can make your household look more like a campground, especially at night. Hang some of your Christmas lights to simulate the twinkle of the stars. Don’t forget to bring your BBQ grill out to amp up the camping experience and prepare special camping meals. Invest in a grill that also serves as a hotpot with Hanabishi’s HOTPOT BBQ GRILLER HHOTBBQ 100.

Movie Marathon

While it’s true that you can utilize this time to unplug and disconnect, it’s also a chance for you to binge on some of your favorite movies. Once the quarantine has been lifted, it may be difficult for you to spend time together again due to your busy schedules. Spending time with your family by watching your favorite shows can also be a great way to bond.

Want to spice it up? Create your own home movie theatre! Get cozy and bring out all your blankets and favorite comfort food. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable in these trying times. Take a look at Hanabishi’s LED TV HLED-20HD to enjoy an ultra-slim, high definition television with enhanced color imaging.

Key Takeaway

Make the most out of your time with these summer activities at home for your kids! We know how this quarantine may fill you with overwhelming emotions, but these activities can surely boost your mood and ease your worries. Once the isolation is lifted, you can still have fun with these family-friendly activities.
