“I’ve been waiting for this vacation more than a kid.” Often this phrase can be heard from mothers on the eve of long school holidays. But along with the exhalation and relief, the parents have another, no less important question than the child to do on vacation, so that he does not get bored and does not spend all his time with gadgets.
We offer you 10 simple ideas on how to spend the holidays interesting and useful.
1. Transform the nursery
Painting a wall, reshuffling or a small cosmetic repair in the nursery is a useful activity that can captivate a child for several days. Thus, without changing the place of residence, you can feel like in a new apartment.
If you do not make repairs globally, you can simply rearrange the furniture and offer the child, for example, paint one wall. The main thing, making a shift, take into account the correct hit of light on the workplace: it should fall on the left if the child is right-handed, on the right - if left-handed.
2. Draw portraits in the shadows
Drawing by shade can be arranged at home, but it will be more interesting to do it in the yard or on the beach. If you decide to paint on asphalt, stock up on crayons, and on the beach the artist’s main tool is his hands. Become your back to the sun so that your shadow falls on the asphalt, and ask your child to circle it around. When the outline is ready, you can turn on the imagination and supplement the portrait with unusual details at your discretion. For example, paint an ice cream or a dog on a leash.
3. Remove vlogs "about summer"
Does your child enjoy watching videos of their favorite bloggers? Ask him to try himself in this role. Come up with the topic of the blog, for example, how the holidays go and start shooting.
Such a hobby will help not only to have fun, but will teach you to keep well in front of the camera, and the child will develop a beautiful posture and clear speech.
4. Make your own cartoons with toys.
Another idea to make your own video blog is to shoot cartoons with toys. Like the Lego men. To do this, you will need a camera, a tripod, additional lighting and a little imagination.
After shooting short episodes, you can mount a cartoon from them in any mobile application, increasing the speed of the video, adding music and effects. Who knows, maybe a hobby will turn into a profession.
5. Prepare goodies.
If the whole family loves sweets, you can try to cook them yourself during the holidays. For example, make useful glazed cheesecakes with the child. You will need 3 – 5 bananas, 2 – 3 chocolate bars, coconut shavings (you can even without it). Entrust the child to stretch the bananas to get a dough mass, then add coconut shavings there and stir. From the finished mass, make small rectangles. Melt the chocolate, dip the banana cheeses in turn. Put them on food film and send them to freeze in the refrigerator. The treat will be ready in an hour.
The second time your child will be able to cook such cheeses without your help.
6. Experience it.
Today on the Internet you can find many interesting and safe experiences that can be easily carried out at home.
For example, you can arrange fireworks in a glass. You will need water, food coloring and two tablespoons of vegetable oil. You need to add a food dye to the oil and then add the mixture to a cup of water. You will see what happens when you have an experience with your child.
You can also shoot all this on camera, mount a video and upload it to your blog channel.
7. Travel online
If there is no opportunity to go somewhere on vacation, you can arrange online travel! For example, use Google maps from satellites and go to different parts of the world every day. And you can come up with games, guessing by terrain and signs, in which country the child is now. Interesting, useful, expanding horizons develop logic and imagination.
8. Have a picnic.
What could be better than picnics in nature? On summer holidays, you can get out every weekend for a family picnic in a new place and explore with children the surrounding flora and fauna. In nature, you can draw, play outdoor games, and you can also shoot all this on camera and make vlogs. The sea of impressions and unforgettable summer are guaranteed to you.
9. Learn foreign languages in foreign cartoons
If the child does not want to learn languages, include cartoons in a foreign language. Shrek, Zootopia, Ice Age... These and other cartoons managed to win the hearts of children of different ages.
The advantage of learning the language in cartoons is that there are no complex words, grammar, incorrect expressions. Basic vocabulary, simple phrases and their repeated mention - all this helps the child easily catch the language by ear. A child’s brain is designed so that “greedly” absorbs all the information coming from the outside, and then uses it in its further development.
And let the teaching become a real pleasure!
10. Enroll your child in an online course
Why is it great to take online courses in the summer? You can even study at sea! You just need to take a laptop or tablet with you and choose a convenient time for lessons.
