Everyone will all get a good laugh out of it! Plus, there are several gift ideas available that you can use their drawings for.ġ0. Have the kids do this fun family portrait drawing activity. See if they can guess what the food is.ĩ. Let them blindfold each other and give tastes of things or smells to each other. Give them free reign of the fridge and pantry. This post has several ideas, all using simple ingredients, and all of the masks are great for teenage skin!Ĩ. If you have older kids (usually girls love this most, but it can be for anyone), have them try out some homemade face masks.

My kids love to print off theirs and stare at it while in bed. Let them scroll through the toy and game section and create a wish list. You could even do a Secret Service theme!Ħ. Kids could even create their own mailbox to leave outside their bedroom door for special notes and treats to be left in. Assign “secret siblings” in the family to encourage acts of love and service in the home. This simple alphabet scavenger hunt will keep the kids occupied and engaged… maybe come up with a simple prize for everyone that finishes it!ĥ.

In putting together this list, I tried to think of ideas that are cheap, easy, and you’re likely to have what you need already in your home. So, I thought I would put one together for the both of us! Next time you hear, “there’s nothing to do,” “I’m bored,” “mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom….,” just pull up this handy blog post or print off the pdf download of activity ideas I’ve included! Easy.

But having a list of fun activity ideas to do at home can make all the difference in the world. I hear ya, moms… I’ve been doing the Google searches too, “fun activities for bored siblings.” Being cooped up at home can easily drain the life out of you and the children.
