Puppet show extravaganza Help your children craft their own puppets using socks, paper bags, toilet roll tubes or old mittens. Once the puppets are ready, encourage them to create a puppet show, with you as their eager audience. Watch as their storytelling skills come to life and witness the magic of their imagination unfolding before your eyes. Showing that you are interested and enjoying the show promotes positive self-image and boosts their self-esteem.
DIY science experiments Turn your kitchen into a science lab and conduct safe and straightforward experiments. From creating a volcano with baking soda and vinegar to making slime, these experiments will not only entertain your kids but also get them curious about the wonders of science. Again Pinterest and Google are your friends when you quickly need to find a “how to” guide.
