Start the New Year with a Family Focus: Ideas For Fun Times With Kids
The New Year is a time for resolutions, goals, and family fun. It’s a great time to start a new chapter and make memories with your children that will last a lifetime. If you’re looking for ideas to keep your kids entertained this holiday season, here are some great things to do with your kids in the New Year.
- Have a movie night – This is a classic family activity and an easy way to keep your little ones entertained during the colder months. Host a movie night and encourage your kids to pick a favorite movie to watch. You can even host a themed night and dress up for the occasion.
- Take a family outing to a museum – Museums are educational and fun for all ages. For younger children, look for interactive exhibits and activities that will keep their attention and get them thinking.
- Create a nature journal – Take a walk around your neighborhood and have your kids look for different animals, plants, and insects. Have them draw them in a notebook or journal so they can look back on their adventure.
- Bake cookies or cupcakes – There’s nothing more fun than baking with your kids. Spend the afternoon together making cookies or cupcakes, and enjoy them with your family. And, if your littles have special food allergy needs, there are gluten-free and nut-free options available. Check out this delicious cookie mix on etsy.com from HoneyBunnyOriginals.
- Play board games and card games – Board and card games are an easy way to get the family together. Pick a few of your favorites and allow your kids the chance to learn strategy and have some friendly competition.
- Go on a scavenger hunt – Craft a fun scavenger hunt for your kids around your house or backyard, and give them clues as they explore and search for the items on the list.
- Put on your own play or musical – Get into character and create your own story with your kids. Have them pick a favorite song and practice singing and dancing to it. Put on the play and invite your family to the show!
No matter what your New Year’s goals are, don’t forget to make time for family fun with your kids. After all, making memories and spending quality time together as a family is what really matters.
