Basic Science Experiments
Let the kifd explore how things work by trying, observing, and discovering without needing special equipment or science knowledge. Try the sink and float game! A perfect activity just before bath time.

Drawing & Coloring
Getting creative and using their imagination to draw, color and create something. It helps to challenge them or provide a theme. Can you draw a picture of what a perfect weekend would like? or draw what you want to happen over the holidays..
No.3
LEGO or building sets
Blocks are a life saver activity for both younger and older kids. Build, break and re-build. Challenge them to create their own city a track for their cars or even a height test
no.4
Storytelling with drawings
Take their favourite book and show them the illustrations, now challenge them to create their own story by drawing all the images for the story and then reading it out loud or even acting the story is great fun with puppets or dressing up!
No.5
Logic games
Activities where kids solve problems by thinking, not guessing — building focus, reasoning, and confidence through play. For example: Each bowl must have toys that belong together but no two bowls can be sorted the same way. What the child has to figure out: One bowl by type (cars, animals, blocks). One bowl by color and one bowl by size.
