It can be challenging to find new ways to keep your kids entertained, however, going down the route of using arts and crafts can be enjoyable for you and the whole family. Here are some fun arts and crafts ideas your kids will love.

It's no secret that kids love the internet and enjoy playing on computers and tablets. Sometimes, this can seem like a useful activity that helps them learn IT skills and engage in different educational activities, however sometimes it can also seem like they're just playing games and messing around! Luckily there are some fun things that kids can do online that can also be useful to them in terms of learning new skills. A surprising one of these is making memes. Here we look at what memes are, how you can make them and why this can be something beneficial for kids to learn how to do.

School will be closing for summer soon if it hasn’t already for you, and that means we have so many weeks ahead where we need to keep the kids occupied. This can be a huge task, especially for moms that are at home. You are the referee, you are the person providing the snacks and meals , as well as trying to keep the house in order and yourself sane. So I thought it was an ideal time to share with you some of the things you could do to keep your children occupied over the summer. Image source

If your little one is anything like mine, they love toy cars! But did you know that you can use their favourite toy vehicle as an educational activity as well? Try out some of my ideas below. Firstly a bit about toy vehicles. Your child may already have their own favourites, there are lots of brands and franchises out there. If they don't, consider the classics like police cars, fire engines and buses. Other good options include accurate replicas like dinky trucks and build your own kits available from Lego. Whichever one you pick, make sure that they are suitable for your child’s age.

Easter Egg projects are one of my kids’ fave to do. Last year, they painted Easter eggs, but this year I decided to make it different. As much as my kids enjoy painting eggs, trying out something new boosts creativity and encourages learning. Preparation as well as the entire project is easy.

More than the essence of the celebration, Easter has always been exciting to kids. I can't explain but there is really something in painted eggs that makes them happy. For Easter, I came up a simple activity for my toddler.  Preparation: I googled for images and printed them out on a sheet of bond paper and cut them out. Second, I also cut a crack to half each of the eggs then pasted the half of each on a clean white paper.

Storytelling is one of our favorite bonding moments with kids every night before bed or even during siesta. The kids enjoy it so much, that they always remind me of what story to tell even we already gone through all on each their storybooks thousand times! Most of their books are worn out already sign of overuse. So I went again to bookstore last week yet they don’t have new story books available, yeah not lucky enough. I really wanted a new set of story books to share to my kids so I tried to search online for ebooks. I don’t know why that came out as an idea, also that was my first time to search for kids story ebook since I find it boring for them if the stories wouldn’t have colorful pictures per page, too.
