Winter is pretty much here, and we are all about celebrating this cozy cuddly time of year with our fun Winter Activities ideas!
Kids however don’t always agree as the list of things they can do may shorten! But that’s why we are here! ….To spice up old ideas, get the kids off their screens and make family memories!
So if you’re looking for some exciting ideas on how to beat the chill and enjoy quality family time together over these upcoming months – read on!
We have included suggestions from our amazing toy range, but the following ideas are perfect for what you already have at home too!
1. Family Movie Night: Why Watch a Movie on the Couch when you can Watch it from a Fort!
Are you ready for a movie night like no other? It’s time to get your creativity flowing and build your very own fort for the ultimate DIY movie night experience! Gather all the blankets, pillows, sleeping bags and sheets you can find and start building. Add some twinkle lights or lanterns for a cozy ambiance, get some snacks and drinks (that don’t mess!) to make it the ultimate movie night! Make sure you get the full use of the fort and bring in some games and puzzles for pre- and post movie fun!
Who needs a fancy movie theater when you can have your own custom-made fort? Get ready for a night filled with laughter and fun that the whole family will never forget.
2. Family Game Night: Relax, Bond, and Laugh!
The family that laughs together….. Has a great time!!
A family game night is the perfect way to unwind and bond and with so many great games to choose from for all ages, it’s impossible to not have fun! Not only does it bring you closer together as a family, but it also provides a great opportunity to disconnect from technology and enjoy each other’s company so make it a weekly thing! Gather around the table, grab some snacks, and let the games begin!
3. Get the Wind in your Hair!
There really is nothing like fresh air and a bit of exercise! Get out your bikes, scooters, roller skates… anything you like and get moving!
Just because its cold outside your winter activities should include some healthy exercise. Map out a route with the kids, combine it with a picnic or go to a bike track (there are more and more popping up around SA), the options to make the trip extra fun are endless!
Note: we stock kids Micro Mobility scooters, and if you are looking for teen and adult scooter please visit our sister company Micro Mobility South Africa.
4. Ready, Set, Read!
Winter is here, and what better way to spend a chilly evening inside than curled up with a good book? Let each person collect a pile of books they would like to read (…or have read to them!..) or make a family pile, and each evening get together, grab the blankets, the hot cocoa and read!
5. Play to Succeed: when playing and learning is the same thing!
From building blocks that teach critical thinking skills to science kits that foster a love for learning, educational toys and games do not have to be boring! With the right ones it’s possible that your kids won’t even realize they’re learning because they’ll be having too much fun!
