You may be a busy mom with mounting household chores. Or a work from home executive with piling work and tight schedules. On top of it your kids demand your attention.

As parents, we have understood how difficult it is to manage kids at home during the holidays. Parenting is challenging indeed. But it can also be fun and less stressful, if we know how to engage the young and restless minds with fun-filled activities.

Keeping your kids engaged during summer have never been this easy! We have a lineup of interesting summer activities which we’re sure your kids would love.

The best and important part is you need not take your kids anywhere, all the activities can be carried out indoors. All these activities will wean away your kids from electronic screens.

Because in many households nowadays this is a common scenario: Silence the tantrum-throwing kids with electronic toys like mobile phones or tablets. But, No. Please avoid this. We have better solutions for smart parents like you.

These indoor activities can also create special memories for them. They would never get bored. They would pick up new skills while having fun indoors.

Painting & Colouring

Colours fascinate children, they simply love to paint. Art is a great medium for children to express their sparks of imagination and bouts of creativity, an important part of brain development. Colouring is an excellent way to engage children indoors.

Time to play with toys

Encourage your kids to use plenty of toys. When they seem bored, come out with some creative way to play with toys. Choose toys with educative content. Let your kids playfully learn a few lessons!

Win their hearts with games

Want to keep your kids busy while you’re busy with household chores. The old-fashioned board games and cards can come in handy. Kids can do many things with a deck of cards. Keep their brains buzzing with some brain teaser games.

Leaders are readers

Cultivate the habit of reading in young kids. Just help them pick up a title of their choice, encourage and reward their reading activity. Help them set aside certain time every day for reading.

Play with puzzles
