With temperatures soaring across the Middle East, keeping kids active and entertained indoors, without resorting to screens, can feel like a challenge. Here are six fun, screen-free ideas that will keep boredom at bay.
Indoor treasure hunt
Hide clues around the house leading to a small prize. Choose a fun theme like pirates or detectives for extra excitement.
DIY craft corner
Set up a small table with markers, paper, stickers and glue. Children can make cards, puppets or their own comic books, encouraging creativity and fine motor skills.
Obstacle course
Use cushions, tape and furniture to design a mini course. Kids can jump, crawl and balance through it safely indoors.
Build a blanket fort
Use pillows and blankets to create a cozy indoor fort. Add flashlights and books for quiet reading or storytelling.
No-bake kitchen fun
Involve kids in making snacks such as fruit skewers or yogurt parfaits. It is safe, hands-on and a great way to bond.
Puppet show
Make puppets from socks or paper bags and let your children create their own mini theater performance.
