| 10 Fun Games To Make Your Children Busy Simple Activities |
To be a creative mother who has her own time with a child running around the house safely, you have to put a little effort at first to create toys that will keep him busy for long periods, not only that but will develop his mental and physical abilities with a little help, just look at him now and then to make sure he is safe.
In the next lines, we will explain some of the tasks or activities that are ostensibly games to distract your child, but inwardly we will develop their mental abilities at the same time, so focus in the next lines.
1- Allocate a wall for drawing
- Many parents are surprised to see their children drawing on bed linen, guest reception room chairs, etching with pens on the walls, and then looking for solutions to hide these crimes, but what if we exploit their passion and desire to release the artist within them?
- You can customize a wall for your child, with a large area and unhindered height in that area designated for painting. That wall can be painted with paint that is easy to erase, choose a type of color that can be removed, or stick paper on that space, and let it play for hours while encouraging and celebrating its development.
2- Toy washing section
- You can fill a large plastic bowl or bathtub with an amount appropriate to your child's height, turn off the water for the duration of play, if your child is relatively young, and then throw his toys from cars, dolls, plastic animals, balls, etc., excluding toys with electronic parts.
- Let your child clean their toys, provide towels to dry them, and set aside a place to arrange them.
3- Carpet and map
- If you specialize in a play mat, you can design roads on it with your child, paste a map on it, train and plane tracks, or draw tracks on the floor with duct tape, and you will find dozens of toys, which your child will create.
- Place the rug in a play area, with cars, trucks, dolls, and animals, and let your child distribute them and create their own stories to transport.
4- Gaming Tent
- Do you remember those houses we made when we were kids from bed linen mounted on bases and hid inside? These are the most fun games for children, as they will not hesitate to play any game that provides them with a private secret base.
- Help your child design his tent or castle, fill it with the many toys needed to design his city, and provide him with healthy snacks throughout the day, and pillows that make him comfortable while playing.
5- Learn to act
- Make a list of videos of children his age playing, singing, or disguising, arrange them, and then adjust the device's sound so that it does not disturb you while performing your tasks.
- Explain how to move between videos, provide him with a fancy dress such as glasses, hats, and brides to play auxiliary roles, and ask him to master them so that you take a video for him and post it, or perform what he learned in front of parents.
6- Making animation
- Assign him a sketchbook or many large pieces of cardboard and stick it on the wall, along with colored pencils and chalk.
- Ask him to make his cartoon, from a story and good and bad heroes, and come back to you after he finishes telling you the story of the hero. You can use those toys to teach him the principles of the art of drawing and a simple story like those found in children's stories.
7- Important tasks
- Give your child a task, and make it feel important to you, to him, and to other people he loves, such as drawing a picture of his father, or designing a gift for his grandmother or a friend instead of buying one.
- He can also be instructed on how to recycle used paper with a kneading plate and glue, shape it to make balls to play with, or make a model of his favorite hero.
- If a child feels important what they do, they won't complain about working on their task independently.
8- Treasure Hunt
- Design a plan to hide something somewhere in the house, give it a guide drawn or written in vocabulary that he understands, such as the first letter of that thing, its color, and what it is used, and let it run around the house to find the object.
- Don't hide from him a toy he loves so much that he doesn't beg you to help him; make it an unknown reward for him, such as a piece of candy or a coin he collects to buy a new toy or a card with which he can determine his dinner plate that night, thus building his physical and mental flexibility.
9- Household tasks
- After a certain age children's kitchen games become useless since it is not real cooking. Here you can do your usual household tasks, and your child in one of the safe kitchen corners kneads the mixture to make the dinner cake, spreads the dough to make bread, or forms biscuits. No matter how long it takes to do it, let it do and finish it.
- You can also use his energy to clean and polish walls, windows, and shelves of the refrigerator, by giving him a colorful cloth and a bottle of diluted soap with a beautiful aromatic smell, and let him clean what is reachable, with expressions of encouragement and thanks, and without interruption or discomfort from any mistake he makes.
10- Ideas Box
- Sit with your child and ask him about his favorite toys, and the ideas he prefers to spend his time with, record all his (non-risky) ideas and put them in a box with all the available ideas and games at home,
- and implement plans for him that you share in designing like those previous ideas, and collect all that, and give him this box whenever you want to accomplish your tasks and read his list of ideas every time your tricks are finished, if the game is his idea, he will be very excited about it.
In the end: these methods are due to the parent's knowledge of their children (what they like, what they do not, what they prefer to do, and when to do it), but the basis here is that we teach them how to create with his mind his pure imagination to develop the capabilities of their mind and develop ways to participate and discharge negative traits such as tantrums and that because of the mental effort that he will do, mental effort is one of the most difficult activities more difficult than physical exertion.
So I hope you try these methods, and if there are any questions or inquiries, please leave them in the comments and I will answer them
I wish you all a happy family and a great future
