3 Fantastic Opportunities for You and Your Children

Whether you’re a young working mummy, or a full-time parent, the time you share with your children in their first few years is a precious gift that should not be missed out on. Watching your child grow into the smart, loving human they were destined to be is always the proudest moment of any parent’s life. However, with job commitments or taking care of your other children, there can often be times when taking a break is allowed.

Taking shifts with you partner, or other family members you trust enough to take care of your little bundle of joy is recommended. Or why not even contact a day-care, and allow your child to bond with other children their own age and energy level. The early stages of parenting are never easy, but when it’s done right, you receive the best gift imaginable: the unbreakable parent-child bond.

Homemade Indoor Activities for a Rainy Day

As the parent or guardian of an excitable, energetic kid, the use of outdoor spaces to tire your children out is probably one of the most valued aspects of parenting. Sometimes the constant attention they require for games and entertainment can become too overwhelming, so the space of a garden or age appropriate play area is the only relief you can get. That is, until the heavens start to open and then playtime is over.  However, by following this guide, I hope to provide you with assistance for your child’s entertainment, listing one example out of many easy-to-create indoor activities for those dreaded rainy days.

Home Cinema

Tired of running around and having to clean up the countless number of toys used from playtime? Then why not create your very own home cinema. By using old bed sheets, blankets and pillows, layer the blankets and lay down your pillows for comfy tums and bums. Once this is completed, grab your media tablet or laptop and place this at a comfortable eye level within your fort. With the aid of snacks and your child’s favourite toy, you and your baby are guaranteed hours of fun from morning until bedtime, no matter what the weather is like.

After School and Day-care Clubs

When it comes to keeping your children occupied, it’s not just the weather that can get in your way. Work or other life commitments often become an unavoidable aspect of your week that can easily be solved through the connection with a fantastic children’s day nursery.
