We all know kids are lively and full of energy. They need to be constantly stimulated but this isn't always possible. Especially if you have more than one or have a busy work/life schedule.
Here are five ways to keep them entertained
1. Let them create
Children have an overly active imagination and can create a whole world in their minds. Bring your kids’ creative ideas to life by providing innovative toys and tools. The set-up will require you to organise art supplies, building blocks, or other toys, but this is a guaranteed way to keep them occupied. When they engage their minds, they will feel entertained for a longer period.
2. Encourage extracurricular activities
Encourage your kids to take one or two extracurricular activities. It could be football practice, karate classes, science club, ballet classes, music or dancing classes, or any other. Joining these classes helps them to learn one or two skills in a fun and relaxed environment. They also get to meet new kids and make new friends. Kids learn to build social networks when they participate in these activities.
3. Get them outdoors
You can take your little ones on a camping trip to the great outdoors. This fills them with anticipation for what they are going to meet out there. Camping also helps them to experience the wonders of nature and provides them with a learning experience. Your kids can learn how to cook, set up a camp, fish, hike, and other survival skills.
4. Brighten up your kids' rooms
Consider transforming your kids' rooms from a bland space to a haven where they feel safe, comfortable, and free.

Make it a fun activity, get your child involved in the design process. They're more likely to want to spend time in their room if it's a space they love.
5. Chores become games
Chores can become a fun activity that will keep your kids entertained. Fortunately, you can turn any chore into a game. That way, your kids do not feel that they are working. Most often, children want to evade chores but turning it into a game piques their interest. For instance, instead of telling them to pick up their toys, you can turn it into a competition where the first one to finish gets a reward. This will excite them to pick up their toys without complaining.
