Indoor Summer Fun
Kids are home for summer vacation and there’s another excess heat warning, what’s a parent to do? If you live in a big city you could go to an indoor trampoline or bounce arena. You could visit a museum or science center or take a ride on an air-conditioned tram. You could even go to an indoor aquatic center. However, if you live in a small town maybe you do not have these options or maybe your budget simply does not allow for these visits. This is where parents may need some indoor fun ideas. Living in a small town in the desert each year we moms rack our brains to come up with ways to entertain our children at home while staying cool. Here are a few of our favorite things to do:
1. Kitchen Science Fun www.modernparentsmessykids.com
2. Stuffed animal hide-n-seek
3. Act out your child’s favorite book
4. Have an indoor picnic
5. Make a fort for coloring and reading
6. Make a mask tape race track
7. Make it a theme day
8. Turn your living room into a drive-in movie theater
9. Make a collage with miscellaneous items
10. Use Ice for arts and crafts www.teaching2and3yearolds.com
I hope you and your child enjoy trying these fun ideas while keeping cool!
