BIG List of Activities to Do for Kids and Families to do From Home

Are there times when you find yourself at home and need things to do not only for yourself but for your children? We can’t and should not always be on the go so I’ve put together this big list of activities for kids and families to do at home.

For Young Kids

Our small children have needs all their own. When it comes to activities it’s pretty easy to keep them busy on the playground, in the backyard, and out and about.

But what about if you need to get things done at home? What if it’s raining outside? How do you keep your children busy and from climbing the walls? Well I’ve had those times so here are a few things just for them.

Print out this Spring Printable Dress-Up Set (Girl and Boy Dolls and clothes) from Multitaskin Mom and cut out for your little ones to have fun designing Spring scenes. This would also make good scissor practice for your preschoolers so print out several copies. Use good safety scissors of course.
Maybe you’ve heard me talk about Suzi who creates some pretty cool blogging courses. Well she also has a Mom blog of her own and on it she features this No School Daily Schedule . You’ll get a taste of her talent with this printable organized by time, type, and tips.
