Corona has undoubtedly caused turmoil in our lives. Due to lockdown, some children have been caged inside the house but children need to go outdoors to release their energy.

Now more than ever, parents need a way to channelize the energy of their kids. They must come up with out-of-the-box ideas so that children can indulge in interesting activities inside the home.

Here are some different indoor activities for your children to enjoy:

Play with Lego

As a parent, you want to reduce the screen time of your child. You want your kid to indulge in productive activities. You should encourage them to build with  LEGO figures. They can have interesting and innovative stories associated with the figures.

The best thing about Lego is that children get a chance to unleash their creative minds. For example, children can play Castle Catapult. Your children can build up Lego Balloon cars. The truth is that Lego can keep your child engaged for a long time.

Read Books

Reading time can be a lot of fun. Most children associate books with bedtime.

However, it does not always need to be the case. Children can even read books during the daytime. Now, you might be wondering how to make reading fun for kids.

Let us assume you read a book about a kitten and a hat. Every time the word hat appears in the story, you can ask your kids to do jumping jacks.  There is no denying the fact that your children will enjoy reading books this way.

Set Up a Maze

You can even set up a maze in the house. You can use yarn to create the maze and have your children move around the maze without touching the yarn.

You can also set up activity stations for your kids. You can also make cooking time a lot of fun. Your children can assist you in cooking. You can ask them to fetch the ingredients from the pantry. The benefit is that the activity will keep your child engaged for a long time to come.

When you have activities for your kids, then it will become much easier to reduce screen time. You can even prepare a list of activities. Ask your child to choose the activity which he wants to do. The result is that you will be able to keep your child active despite keeping him indoors.

Final Word

There are times when you cannot think out of the box. Well, in this scenario, you can allow your child to jump on the bed. It will help to release the energy and your child will be happy also.

Try out these activities at home. Indoor time will become a lot of fun in this situation.
