There are some kids activities that are addictive. Your kids will beg to play them, to do them over and over, and OVER again! These are the ones that would be on my kids short list. They love open-ended play ideas.
…And I love how these activities reach a wide range of ages. My tots and elementary aged kids have an activity they can do – together!
Open-Ended Play Ideas
Who knew that straws and sticks could entertain your kids so long!
I’m telling you, if your kids haven’t tried playing with kinetic sand yet they need to! The stuff is addicting. Promise.
Paper blocks. So fun to make AND build with. All you need is scraps of paper and tape.
Make silly faces! It’s fun in the mirror, fun to mimic each other and even fun to recreate on paper!
These Paper Boxes are harder to make than they look. Perfect for a puzzling kiddo. Preschoolers can just glue bits of paper together. Next: Build with our blocks!
Kids Activities that are Addictive
Who knew building brain neurons could be so fun! My son LOVED this “activity.”
Add some marshmallows and toothpicks to your kiddos play and not only will they have a blast building, they will also love the sugar rush… it’ll wear off.
Paper Airplanes. The cost for an afternoon of play is just a ream of paper. Make paper airplanes – try this design, BEST ever!
STEM Activities for Kids
Tinker away! Create a kit of random bits for your kids to build and create with!
Build a fort! It doesn’t matter if you make it out of PVC piping, old bed sheets or chairs. Your kids will have a blast!
Old pool noodles are not trash!! Your kids can build massive structures with them, all you need are toothpicks.
Make a maze for your kids to navigate a pom-pom through. All you need is a stack of post-it notes!
What to do when Kids are Bored
Make a Mario World, or whatever your kids favorite screen game is, bring it to the real world.
Mazes are mesmerizing. Make one with supplies you have on hand.
Never ending fun! That is what a skien of yarn will give you. Give your kids the task to make a giant web – and then they can crawl through it.
Plastic disposable cups and craft sticks! Just sit back and watch your kiddos will build and create.
Never Ending Open Ended Fun
Half the fun in this activity is the creation. Make a maze!!
This dancing battery gal is easy to make, try giving the instructions to your elementary aged kiddos along with the supplies.
All you need is a box fan, a big sheet and an empty room. Hours. Your kids will be shrieking and crawling as a snake for hours.
Got a big box? If not, check with your local appliance store! You can make an accordian castle!
You don’t need to spend money to make toys that will help build your kids brains. Raid the rubbish bin for some cardboard!
Spin away! Decorate CDs to become colorful orbs of color. Fun.
Who knew that a toothbrush could be and do so much more than just brush teeth. Transform it into a robot.
Learn about historical figures – create a game of Guess Who.
