Research has shown that one of the best ways to engage the mind of a young child is through play, especially 'messy' play. Interacting with your child during play not only shows them the joy that comes from playing, but also helps them to develop their social skills. It is also a good idea to have some fun activities to do when your children are BORED! 1. Making Playdough Making playdough togther is a great way to play with your child. It is an inexpensive, quick activity that will keep your child entertained for hours. Ingredients
Method
2. Dress Up Day On a rainy day it is great to have a back-up plan - an activity to keep your children occupied. Why not clear out those wardrobes and make a dress up box. Every child loves dressing up, so the older clothes, jewellery, hats and shoes you can collect, the more fun it will be for your children. This is also a great excuse to tidy up the wardrobe and make some space for yourself. You could also invest in some face paints and disposable camera, so everyone can take turns getting their photo taken in their costumes.
