1. Play MasterChef Junior for a day<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kickstart your list of indoor activities for kids with a day spent in the kitchen.<\/span> Bake with kids<\/span><\/a> or pit the older ones against each other for the Masterchef Junior title!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bake some vanilla cookies and let your kids unleash their creativity by decorating the snacks with<\/span> chocolate rice sprinkles<\/span><\/a> (available on<\/span> Wheat<\/span><\/a>) and icing! Speaking of chocolate, we spy a delectable no-bake rich Chocolate Berry Tart in this list of<\/span> easy no bake recipes<\/span><\/a> you can guide your kids along with as well as a myriad of <\/span>baking tools<\/span><\/a> you might need for your baking session!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Plan an art jamming session<\/span><\/h2>\n

Been eyeing artistic talent in your toddler? Take it one step further with an art jamming activity for kids at home!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Set up an<\/span> easel<\/span><\/a>, lay out a huge canvas along with a palette of <\/span>watercolour paint<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>JJ’s Color World<\/span><\/a>) and start creating a masterpiece! Encourage your kids to paint with their hands or even their feet! This is an example of <\/span>sensory play<\/span><\/a> and can help to support cognitive growth and develop their motor skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hang their masterpieces up on the walls so everyone can admire their works of art! This indoor activity for kids can get quite messy, so make sure you cover the play area in newspaper to avoid getting paint all over your furniture.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Hunt for treasure at home<\/span><\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s an indoor activity for kids that requires some pre-planning, treasure hunting at home is a delightful bonding activity for the family especially during this stay home period.<\/span><\/p>\n

Depending on the scale of the activity, your treasure hunt can span across the entire house or just a room. Identify hidden spots in the house to hide your clues. Thereafter, put on your Sherlock hat and start brainstorming clues for each hiding spot. Make sure to have a surprise ready for the kids at the end of the treasure hunt. We suggest hiding their favourite<\/span> snacks<\/span><\/a> or something they\u2019ve been wishing for as the final treasure. All that\u2019s left is to tuck all the clues securely away before handing your little treasure hunters the first hint. Then sit back and watch the young ones rack their brains to uncover the hidden treasure! <\/span><\/p>\n

4. Start a movie night tradition<\/span><\/h2>\n

Organising a movie night in the comforts of your own home is one easy activity for you and your little ones! Not only is it simple to set up, it is also a sustainable and low-maintenance activity that never gets old.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t think of what to watch with the young ones? Browse popular kids\u2019 movies on Netflix or pop over to Disney+ where you\u2019d be spoilt for choice! You can also suggest watching some good ol\u2019 movies catered for young audiences, such as <\/span>Home Alone<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Harry Potter <\/span><\/i>film series<\/span>, Land Before Time<\/span><\/i> (great for toddlers) and <\/span>Jumanji (there\u2019s a 2018 version too)<\/span><\/i>! Afterall, great films are timeless!<\/span><\/p>\n

Complete your movie-at-home experience with a bucket of<\/span> Eureka Butter Caramel Popcorn<\/span><\/a> (available on<\/span> Eureka Popcorn Official Store<\/span><\/a>)! Prefer homemade popcorn? Just pop some<\/span> instant popcorn<\/span><\/a> into the microwave, melt some salted butter and <\/span>voila<\/span><\/i>!<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Get messy by making slime<\/span><\/h2>\n

As children spend more time on their electronic devices, their exposure to other sensory and tactile sensations is usually reduced. Making slime is one of the best activities for kids at home as it helps them reap benefits of sensory play!<\/span><\/p>\n

Preparing the materials for slime is simple and quick! All you need is half a cup of <\/span>cornstarch <\/span><\/a>and 40g of sugar-free gelatin. Mix the two ingredients together and stir about a quarter cup of water gradually into the mixture until it clumps together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Give the kids some food colouring, tiny figurines, sparkly glitter and sequins to spice up their slime! You can even add <\/span>foam beads<\/span><\/a> into the slime to create a crunchy effect! Can\u2019t get enough of the slimy goodness? Buy this <\/span>Galt Slime Lab <\/span><\/a>(available on <\/span>Infantino Enterprise<\/span><\/a>) for your kids to explore different textures and designs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pro Tip:<\/b> Daddies and Mummies, you can clean up the mess with a solution of warm water and vinegar in a ratio of one-third water and two-thirds vinegar!<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Organise a glamorous fashion show<\/span><\/h2>\n

Remember the times you were a kid and aspired to be a fashion model? Your little ones are going through the same phase in life right now! Imagine their delighted faces when you give them the permission to ransack your wardrobe for a day of dress up!<\/span><\/p>\n

Turn things up a notch and transform this simple indoor activity for kids into a glamorous fashion show! Roll out the red carpets, and get the <\/span>cameras <\/span><\/a>ready. Help your kids dress up in their favourite <\/span>kids apparel<\/span><\/a> and watch them strut down the runway with style!<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Coding is fun!<\/span><\/h2>\n
