There are heaps of screen free activities you can try out
with your child. Not everything has to rely on using a screen to keep your kids
entertained, which is why you should always keep a bank of activities ready for
those moments. We explore 5 screen free activities as recommended by this prep school in
Hertfordshire.
1. A child’s first chores
There are a host of age-appropriate chores for children to
explore. They could help you wash your car (even the small efforts they make!)
or help you sort through dirty clothes ready to go in the washing machine.
Every little helps.
2. Go for a bike ride
Get the bikes out and go for a ride out in the countryside or in your local area with your child. They may know a route already, or you can show them a new area that’s near the home to help them discover somewhere new.
3. Head to the lake and feed the ducks
While feeding ducks bread isn’t recommended, we recommend
rice, cracked corn, lettuce or sliced grapes. Get a little bag together and get
your child involved in that part of the process. Then head down to the lake and
see how many ducks your child can count.
4. Spend a day tidying up
It may not look like the most glamorous of activities, but
if you have a notoriously messy child it might be a good learning activity for
them. Cleaning up the room will give your child their first taste of learning
how to clean up after themselves.
5. Bring the paints out
Painting is always a good shout when it comes to your
child’s creativity and keeping them stimulated. You could also make it an event
by heading to an art shop and picking out paints to try out.
