Since we all know we are going through a tough time right now and part of that is kids staying at home from school so a lot of parents might be struggling to keep their kids busy and entertained during the day. We all having to get creative because of this unique situation. I am so proud of the world spirit that I am seeing during this difficult time.

I really want to congratulate all the parents out there who are taking care of their kids and society. This situation might be tough for all of us, but we all have to stand together and work together so that we can win this difficult situation of coronavirus.

Now Some of you might be wondering who am I, well I am Renne Pellum from mommingit.com, where I teach all the parents different activities related to kid's care activities, moneymaker activities, motherhood care, and much more.

And today I am going to show you 7 different activities that you can do with your kids in Quarantine. These are some of the super easy yet super fun activities you can do with your kids.

So let’s not waste any time getting into our activities.

  1. Drawing On The Wall-

Hey, you heard it right but you don’t really need to let your kids draw on the wall you just simply tape some paper on the wall so your kids feel like they are coloring on the wall.

And heck what kids love to draw on the wall, it’s a super amazing trick to keep your kids busy for a short period of time. You can use any type of paper laying around the house like a newspaper or cardboard or any other material that you have.

Just give your kids some crayons or any washable paint if you feel to give them and let them draw their imagination on the wall.

  1. Water Colouring-

It is just more fun than crayons, to be honest, kids love to get a little messy and create their imaginations. Now, this is really amazing to see your kids doing something different from their daily routine.

Water coloring is a really amazing activity when it comes to keeping your kids busy, the advantage is it will not only keep your kids busy but also helps them to create whatever they want. My little one loves to water coloring. But sometimes it becomes messy honestly.

  1. Shape Hopscotch

It is a super fun game that only takes a few materials to create yourself. All you need is some colored paper, paper plates, and some makers and it’s pretty much it.

This is called shape hopscotch. Eventually, you are making your own little version of twister and it helps to colors and shape as well.

So all you need to do is to cut out some bunch of different shapes and in a bunch of different colors. And just create your own little spinner out of a paper plate.

Now you’re gonna draw the shapes as a part of choices too. so you can land on a color or a shape. Then to make a spinner you just gonna use a little sewing pin. Then hook it to the plate.

The whole idea is that you spin the spinner, you see which color or shape it lands on, and you hop to that color.

If you touch the floor you lose.

  1. Scavenger Hunt

You can do two different types of Scavenger Hunts. A color hunt and a shape hunt.

The color is basically where you just create a sheet with different colors on it. And you have your kids go around the house and find Objects that match with that color.

This is also a good opportunity to practice your handwriting and practice your spellings. To make it more interesting you can try to use more unique colors or limit them to certain rooms of the house.

You can even say things like (find 3 green objects and find 4 blue objects).

Then for the shape hunt, it’s the similar concept, but this time parent gathers up different objects and traces them onto the piece of paper as the template. Then the child has to go around the house and find the matching objects.

This will become really fun if you can find some funky shaped objects. That might not be as easy to find.

5 Tube Tunnel

So for this, you just need some recycled paper towel rolls, toilet paper rolls if you have, and even the rolls from wrapping paper. Then you are gonna want to use some painter’s tape. That way you will not damage your walls and create different tracks to drop a marble, a bead, or a ball down.

You can challenge your kids to figure out different tracks that they can create and teach them about things like gravity, kinetic energy, and inertia along the way.

Wait Wait Do not recycle those tubes now because you are gonna need them in your next activity.

  1. Indoor Bowling

Basically you are creating bowling pins out of tubes, plastic bottles whatever you have in your recycling bin. You can even make a point system. Then take nice softball and throw it at the pins or roll it whatever works best for you.

You can get creative with your own rules and your own way to play this game. You will be surprised by how entertaining this is.

  1. Glitter Volcano

It is a good old fashioned baking soda volcano but with a little twist.

So for this, you are going to need baking soda, Vinegar, and some food coloring and some glitter. I also recommend keeping a tray to catch your mess.

So just keep a glass on the tray and add some baking soda into the glass but instead of just pouring the vinegar straight in, you wanna add some glitter and food coloring to make it more beautiful.

Then mix it up a little and pour the vinegar in it and boom there goes your volcano.
