Looking for creative ways to entertain your kids without breaking the bank? DIY projects are a fun, educational, and budget-friendly way to spend time together.
Here are some engaging ideas that require minimal supplies but offer maximum fun.
1. Homemade playdough: Mix 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of salt, 1 cup of water, and food colouring. Let your kids get creative with shapes, animals, or even mini sculptures!
2. Cardboard box creations: Before you toss that Amazon box, hand it to your child. With some markers, scissors (with supervision), and imagination, it can become a spaceship, house, or puppet theatre.
3. Nature collage: Take a walk and collect leaves, sticks, flowers, and pebbles. Then, make a nature collage on cardboard or paper — a great way to blend art and outdoor time.
4. Sock puppets: Old socks + buttons + glue = hours of puppet show fun. Encourage your child to create characters and write their own little plays.
5. Recycled crayon shapes: Gather broken crayons, melt them in silicone moulds (with adult help), and make fun new shapes. It’s recycling and crafting in one!
DIY projects don’t need to be elaborate or expensive. With a bit of creativity and everyday household items, you can create memorable, hands-on experiences for your kids, all while encouraging imagination and learning.
