8 At-Home Activities To Do With Kids These Holidays

Clear the lounge room, it’s pillow fort making time!

School holidays are just around the corner and while we have our fingers and toes crossed for clear skies and endless outdoor adventures, it doesn’t hurt to have a contingency plan for when the weather forecast doesn’t go your way. Welcome to The Fun House.

1. Go indoor camping – when you’ve got pop-up tents, pillows, blankets, tables and chairs, the world is your oyster

2. Transform any room into a track – toy cars, trains and trucks at the ready

3. Cue up the karaoke playlist – search the lyric versions of their favourite songs on Youtube and don't forget your musical instruments

4. Beat boredom with board games and puzzles

5. Get experimental with science activities that make at-home education more fun

6. Whip up something tasty in the kitchen together

7. Redecorate the house with artwork they create themselves

8. Play pretend

We know this “stuff” isn’t essential to have fun, so encourage them to choose their own adventure using only their imaginations. Suddenly the bunk beds become a double-decker bus, the empty bathtub transforms into a time machine, a cardboard box a cubby house, and the floor is molten hot lava. But of course, when the furniture no longer sparks excitement, you know we’ve got plenty of toys and games (and fast delivery to your door!) to help.
