The summer holidays mean endless days of fun, sun and games for your kids, but it's not great for them to spend all day boiling in the hot summer sun. While Netflix is the oft-preferred time-killer for kids, there are several activities that you can use to keep your kids occupied over the summer holidays. They can experiment with crafts, learn some cooking skills or play some fun and interesting games, all while creating meaningful memories with their parents. Here are Party Savers' five indoor activities for the summer holidays!
Paper Plate Tennis with Balloons!
All you need for this fun, DIY activity are paper plates, plastic rulers, coloured tape and balloons! Younger kids will love the chance to break out their Textas and get creative designing their "paddles" (made by joining the plastic rulers to the paper plates with the coloured tape) and blow up balloons, which they can then toss around the house with their "bats". Using balloons in place of tennis balls (or equivalent) is a fun and creative way to avoid running the risk of injury, or the breakage of household objects. For a full list of the balloons and party supplies (such as paper plates), click [here].
Have a Campout Indoors
Camping outdoors in summer presents its fair share of challenges - combatting the desert heat, battling insects and mosquitos and lugging around supplies and tent gear in heavy, unwieldy backpacks. Eliminate all those challenges with indoor camping! Clear out a space in your garage or living room and turn it into a makeshift campground, complete with our camping-themed decorations, found [here] and [here]! What happens next is limited to your imagination! Roast snores over the "fireplace" (otherwise known as the kitchen stove), create a "starry night" with glow in the dark stars stuck to the ceiling, or design the perfect pillow fort! The only limitation is your imagination, with indoor camping!
Create a Scavenger Hunt!
The simplest activity that can keep kids occupied for hours. Hide small toys or yummy treats around the house and watch as your kids delight in hunting for their favourite snacks! For a fun twist, why not add a theme to the scavenger hunt, like snacks associated with their favourite movie or TV show? Those hot summer days can pass by quickly with a little imagination, some Harry Potter-themed snacks and fake plastic wands to bring the magic to life!
Put on a Fashion Show
While this may require a bit more preparation by way of cleaning, it's a fun and simple way to entertain kids for hours. Let kids raid your closet and put on a fashion show, complete with their favourite music going in the background!
Re-enact the Walking Dead
Party Savers has a fantastic range of zombie-themed masks and accessories which could be used for a fun day spent re-enacting the Walking Dead. Get your kids to try their hand at creating the most frightening zombie costumes they can, before playing a game of hide and seek, where the zombies try to find you! It's a fun and memorable take on a well-known game, which allows kids to unleash their creativity as they create their zombie costumes! Find our range of zombie-themed products [here]!
