FUN INDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

INDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

AD | COLLABORATIVE POST

As a mother, you will want to assist your children and provide them with the resources to learn and grow. You want to ensure that your kids’ needs are satisfied and you offer them or indulge them in the right environment suitable for their development. However, helping your child can be fun as it is helpful! There are various hobbies your child can partake in to develop mentally, physically, and safely. Here are some great indoor activities for kids.

PAINTING

Painting offers an excellent opportunity for your kids to develop and improve their cognitive skills and explore their creativity. Crayons and brushes also help young children develop their finger muscles and improve their hand-eye coordination. You can also introduce your children to the works of great painters to develop an interest and learn more about this activity. While learning to paint, kids can have fun with different colours such as acrylic, oil, or watercolours. Fortunately, there are several DIY paint kits for kids of all ages to get them busy creating masterpieces.

WOODWORKING

Woodworking can be a lot of fun for kids because it gives them the chance to use various tools and logs of wood to create unique items like simple boxes and wooden trays, toys, birdhouses, or DIY photo frames. Exploring the processes of using essential tools such as mallets, glue guns from retailers such as Glue Guns Direct, and the chisel and simple woodworking procedures help your child explore their creative side while improving their motor abilities. Giving your child ample time to practice regularly and educating them about techniques and tools is an excellent method to introduce woodworking to young children. However, keep an eye on your child to prevent any injuries.

DRAWING

You can teach your child simple drawing and sketching techniques to children to draw whatever their imaginations desire. Beginners can learn to draw simple patterns by tracing them and then progress and eventually use their skills to get into more complex works like comic book art. As your child creates narratives, plots, and several characters, there is a lot of brainstorming and creative thinking. This type of hobby can help your child’s cognitive abilities and further help them build a career in animation or become a cartoonist when they are all grown up.

GARDENING

Gardening is another fun hobby to indulge your kids in. Not only do they get to get their hands dirty, but planting a seed and watching it sprout may be a good way for kids to learn care and maintenance. They can learn to tend to beautiful rose flowers or vegetables. Additionally, you can make things more intense and exciting for older kids by allowing them to grow crops without synthetic fertilisers and chemicals. This way, they will practice organic farming, and you can use their products for family meals. It would be a fun hobby for your child to take up. You can encourage your youngster to cultivate vegetables and fruits in your backyard and then enjoy the results.

Weekly round up time! We love looking through #o Weekly round up time! 

We love looking through #oursummertimescrapbook posts and seeing what you’re up to. 

I’ve picked these posts from the last week because they show a range of styles I discussed in stories today. You have close ups of hands, wide shots, some with faces, some without. Photos from above and photos at your child’s level. Never be afraid to experiment when capturing memories. It all helps to tell the story of the moment ❤️

TMC + ME One of our lovely TMC followers needs s TMC + ME 

One of our lovely TMC followers needs some advice on how to deal with an upsetting situation ❤️

What advice would you have for our follower in regards to setting boundaries without upsetting anyone? 

Have you been in a similar situation? Do you have a strained relationship with a family member? What advice can you share?

❤❤❤❤

TMC always aim to be a supportive and inclusive space, and we often receive messages asking for advice on all sort of things.

As much as we will always try our best to give advice we are only a little admin team and sometimes it may be things we do not know much about.

So therefore we wanted to create a way for you all to ask us (and all followers) for advice, and hopefully get the support you need.

It will always be anonymous  and it can be on any subject. We are an open minded bunch and won't judge anyone.

❤️

And finally, keep the comments kind! ❤️

Let’s talk about different play schemas… Does Let’s talk about different play schemas…

Does your little one show any signs of play schemas in their everyday play? My little boy is currently very much in the rotation schema, he will spin anything and everything he can and I have to say he’s pretty good at it! 

There are lots of Different types of schemas I’ve listed a few below for you, can you spot anyone’s your little ones do? let us know below! 

Trajectory - Exploring movement and forces through throwing, jumping and kicking. Their behaviour can sometimes seem challenging – throwing food and toys, leaping on sofas, or kicking off their shoes.

Transporting - Fascinated by taking things from place to place. They may fill bags, baskets and pockets with tiny objects to carry around it, or load up toy buggies, trucks and ride-ons with things to move about.

Rotation - Obsessed with spinning and turning. Look out for them turning knobs and lids, watching the laundry go round and round in the washing machine, or spinning the wheels on buggies, bikes and toy cars.

Transforming - Mixing their breakfast into a mush or pour their juice into their dinner, it could be part of a transforming schema; a fascination with changing the state of things, painting, making mud pies are all perfect activities to support this schema.

Enveloping - Wrapping themselves up the curtains or put blankets over their head, may be exhibiting an enveloping schema. It may not be just themselves they like to wrap up; children with this schema are also often fascinated with wrapping up objects and putting things inside envelopes and bags.

Enclosing - Love to hide in small spaces – in a laundry basket, under a bush or in a swimming pool locker, for instance.

Connecting - Joining objects, putting together toy train tracks and roadways, tying laces, sticking velcro, or using sticky tape and glue. Some like to disconnect them too – knocking down or pulling apart their creations can be part of their fascination.
Feeling like a failure A failure of a mum... Bec Feeling like a failure

A failure of a mum...

Because I can see people's looks when he is having his crazy tantrums. 

When he is kicking, screaming, shouting....I can see! All the judging looks!

"What a horrible boy" "she can not have raised him properly" "she must have done something wrong" "What is wrong with him?"

Sunday night at the airport was such a low point for me. Kaiden had his biggest ever tantrum and playing up being silly.

I just got to a point where I felt useless. Whatever I said or did he acted up. People were staring at us. 

Some of them muttering something to a friend, others shaking their heads. Others just staring.....

I think that was my low point as a parent...I wanted to just walk away...curl up like a ball and cry.

But there was nowhere to go...because I was there on my own...with two kids.

The last few weeks I have felt so low. Like such a failure! Because no matter what I do or say, he just doesn't listen when he is in his "moods"

And it always ends with me loosing my temper because I just don't know what else to do! I have cried myself to sleep a lot. Wishing my mum ws here to guide me! 

So why am i sharing this? Well this is not a pity post, I just wanted to share that there can be some very low lows in motherhood. 

So whenever you feel like you hit that low point, rest assured that you are not alone! We all feel like we can't take anymore at some point. 

When you do, speak to someone! A partner, parent, friend.....or even us!! Because it does help a little to feel less lonely in it all ❤️❤️❤️

I mean, kitchen....bathroom...living room, bedroom I mean, kitchen....bathroom...living room, bedroom. There is always somewhere to clean. 

And it never feels as if it stays clean for more then a minute with kids around! 🙈

What part of the house is the place you dread the most to clean?
