I love playing with my daughter.
Holidays are game marathons .But for a five year old ,everyday’s a new day ,full of new ideas for having fun.Together with her ,I relive all the fun memories of childhood.
Doodling is a favourite.
She draws or I draw .Then we colour together ,spending hours over getting the pictures right.Then she tells me a story ,looking at the picture and I tell her a story.Definitely a fun hour or two .
Playing with the blackboard decal and whiteboard are favourites too.

We play teacher-teacher .Where she is the teacher and me or my hubby or sometimes both have to be students .Best way to make learning fun .
Crafting
Making hair clips ,headbands and necklaces using DIY kits ,is a recent favourite.
I have bought the kit online and supplemented it from my craft kit .Result is a totally productive and fun time spent, where mommy forgets to sneak off to write.
We paint our plant pots and decorate them together.
My balcony garden is a witness to our fun painting pot sessions.
We bake together .
My daughter will tell you the exact steps to bake a mouth-watering delicious chocolate cake.
Nail painting
We paint each others toe nails rainbow colours. It’s precision work at best and funny nail art at worst .
Play dress up and karaoke
We dress up and makeup funny songs to sing in popular tunes .
Playing with children is a wonderful stress buster and the best way to encourage lateral thinking, association ,imagination in children.It’s also a wonderful way to nurture the right brain of your child.

I find that my daughter loves to do all of the above or anything that I’m doing. My boys on the other hand are a bit harder to entertain.
No matter how old your daughter becomes there is always something special about spending time together. Our activities include going on vacation together, going to Adult Paint Nights and doing DIY projects together. The things we did when she was younger are now just two adults having fun!
Thats so sweet .looking forward to that now.Thanks for sharing
Play is such an important part of your child’s growth. And definitely play that takes them away from digital stuff and allows them to use their imaginations. That is so important.
I think spending one on one time with your kids is super important to their development. When my kids were younger I homeschooled snd we did many of these activities.
I have a boy, we run around the house like planes and build block castles.
Great idea Amrita its really helpful for moms for their kids and crafting home.
Thanks
The fondest memories that I have of my childhood involve me and mom doing some really messy and creative DIY projects. These are great tips 🙂
Thank you for the appreciation!
We have a white board and my girls love it. We also like to do DIY crafts. These are good ideas here.

My daughter LOVES to craft. I’m not the best at it, but I try. She’s probably better than me. I also let her into the kitchen to help me cook sometimes.
Thats very good Amber
Ah there’s nothing better than a day of craft and it keeps kids quiet for ages! Nikki x
