Fun at Home: Top Activities for Kids at Home

As a parent, I know how challenging it can be to keep kids entertained at home. Whether it’s a rainy day or a long school break, finding activities that are both fun and engaging can be a real struggle. That’s why I’ve put together a list of the top 5 activities for kids at home that are sure to keep them entertained for hours.


Arts and crafts are a great way to stimulate your child’s creativity and imagination. There are endless possibilities when it comes to arts and crafts, from painting and drawing to making jewelry and creating sculptures. You can even use household items like toilet paper rolls and cereal boxes to create unique and fun crafts.


Gardening is another fun outdoor activity that can teach kids about nature and responsibility. Start by giving your kids a small plot of land to work with. Let them choose what they want to plant and help them with the planting process. Then, have them water and care for their plants regularly. Not only will they learn about plants and gardening, but they’ll also get the satisfaction of watching something they’ve grown flourish.


Biking is also a very good outdoor activity for kids to play, teaching a kid to ride a bike is a fun and rewarding activity that has numerous physical, social, and emotional benefits. Here’s some benefits:

How to Teach Kids to Ride a Bike: A Beginner’s Guide

As someone who learned to ride a bike at a young age and has since taught numerous children how to do the same, I can confidently say that teaching a kid to ride a bike can be a challenging but rewarding experience. Not only does it provide a fun activity for kids to enjoy, but it can also help them develop important skills such as balance, coordination, and confidence.


One of the most important things to keep in mind when teaching a kid to ride a bike is to take it slow and be patient. Every child learns at their own pace, so it’s important not to push them too hard or too fast.


Start by introducing them to the bike and letting them get comfortable sitting on it and pushing themselves along with their feet. Once they feel comfortable, you can start teaching them how to pedal and steer.


Another key aspect of teaching a kid to ride a bike is to make it a fun and positive experience. Encourage them every step of the way and celebrate their successes, no matter how small. Remember that learning to ride a bike can be scary for some kids, so it’s important to create a safe and supportive environment for them to learn in. With patience, encouragement, and a positive attitude, you can help your child learn to ride a bike and set them on a path to a lifetime of fun and adventure.

Why Gardening With Kids?

Gardening with kids is a fun and educational activity that can benefit both children and adults. As a parent, I have found that gardening is a great way to spend quality time with my kids while teaching them important life skills. Not only does it promote physical activity and healthy eating habits, but it also helps children develop a sense of responsibility and respect for the environment.


One activity that has been particularly effective to teach my kids responsibility is gardening. Gardening with kids not only teaches them about nature but also helps them develop a sense of responsibility and pride in their work.


When choosing plants for your garden, it’s important to consider your climate, the amount of sunlight your garden receives, and the soil type. Some plants, like tomatoes, require a lot of sunlight and well-draining soil to thrive. Other plants, like herbs, can tolerate partial shade and can be grown in containers.


I highly recommend gardening with kids as a fun and educational activity that promotes a love for nature and a sense of responsibility for the environment. Whether you have a small balcony or a large backyard, there are many ways to get started and make gardening a part of your family’s routine.

April Showers Bring May Flowers Party

When I first saw this cute April Showers Bring May Flowers party in Bird’s Party magazine, I knew I HAD to feature it here as I had so much to say about the creative details that Suzanne of Fanciful Events included! 


First of all….the overall theme is carried through to every single detail beautifully!  From the oversized rainbow umbrella chandelier to the sweets and that cake….wow…that cake is FABULOUS!


The details are just so well thought out and the best thing is that all the ideas here are very doable and attainable.  I love that!  She repurposed rain boots to hold sweets and umbrella favors and created a cute focal point on the table with raincoat & tutu!  Brilliant! My personal favorite creative touch happens to be the WOW-FACTOR–those window panes as the sweets bar backdrop is just PHENOMENAL!


One of Suzanne’s signature touches is to match her daughter’s oufit to the theme of the party which is just adorable and I look forward to seeing how she does this every time!  She didn’t disappoint here…How cute is that rainbow dress and headband!
