With the majority of people being indoors at the moment,  we wanted to put together a list of things of activities to do with your children at home. Our list includes accessible activities as well!


Activities

  • Scouts have set up 'The Great Indoors', which include loads of creative and fun activities to do with kids- for kids who love doing lots of practical things. 
  • Toucan Box is for those children who love art and reading. It also includes some educational activities. Although some of the activities are done through subscriptions, there is plenty for free. 
  • CBeebies have created a fun list of things to do indoors with your really little ones!
  • Good Housekeeping have created a list for those kids (and parents) that love cutting, sticking and paper mache!

Stories

As well as reading those story books on the shelf, you can change things up by getting some new ones!

Exercises

If you have a garden you can do some of these outside, otherwise you can throw open some windows!

  • BBC have some great podcasts for kids- from little ones to older ones 
  • Huffington Post have complied a list of their favourite podcasts for children, which include story telling, music, educational and short podcasts
