Entertain Your Kids These Holidays With Our Unique Party Ideas
Stop the little ones going stir-crazy during this holiday period with a little planning to line up some fun activities to do during the break that will keep them engaged and most importantly, tired by the end of the day! Read out ways to entertain your kids during holidays.
Home Movie Theatre
With a little effort you can bring the excitement of the cinema home and let your little movie directors get hands on with setting up the theatre that they can then watch their favourite movies in. Shuffle the couch around, turn off the lights, grab your popcorn and some affordable hollywood inspired decorations and turn on an old favourite family friendly or holiday themed movie that they haven't seen in a while. This is a great idea because of the hands-on aspect of decorating and making the room feel like a cinema and you can make it even more of a game by telling your wee ones to pretend they are at the movies!
SHOPPING LIST
- Inexpensive cut-out decorations like clap boards or film reels add to the fun.
- Popcorn boxes add an authenticity.
- Use very simple dress up accessories to get involved and make it extra special.
- Popcorn - get the lite version for a healthy snack!
- Soft drink - substitute for water, juice or milk to reduce the sugar intake!
Put On A Music Performance!
Even more fun than bringing the cinema home is bringing Broadway home! Use fun costumes and accessories to let the kids use up some of that vacation energy by making some noise. You can schedule a dress rehearsal before dinner and then have fun decorating a performance stage!

Send the children on a scavenger hunt with some inexpensive party favours and lollies for hours of fun. Give a list of clues before the party and then shop online for a huge range of party favours that will suit all age groups. The prizes will keep them entertained even after the excitement of the hunt is over!
Who says Christmas trees are only for Christmas? Decorating a tree is a great, active game your kids can participate in. Any plant will do even if you can't fit a big pine in the living room, so get ready to decorate those home or office pot plants or even a shrub in the garden. Any excuse is a good excuse when it comes to decorating so why not make a happy Easter shrub or a national holiday pot plant?
