Our clients need to know the ways we spend our time with their children.
The following are some of the fun and educational activities we do with the kids we care for:
- Watch videos in English and Spanish
On YouTube or on TV, we take advantage of the time the children spend watching TV or online to show them cartoons or videos of songs. They will have fun and learn something new! - Dancing
In the living room or in bed, we let loose and have fun with the kids to the rhythm of their favourite music. We also record videos to watch over the next few days to see how much fun we had. - Paint emotions
We ask the children to draw a picture of the best or most beautiful part of his or her day. - Play gardener
We fill some containers with absorbent cotton, put some dried vegetables inside and water them. In the following days, we take care of them together and water them and watching how the seeds grow and develop. - Read science fiction books
Older children can do this on their own, while younger ones will need a little help. In any case, reading exciting stories is always a great activity to do at home, because it helps the little ones imagination. - Learning songs
It can be a poem or a nursery rhyme and learned perfectly, we organize a little show for them to teach it to the whole family. - Make a collage
We use old magazines creatively and cut the paper into shapes and use the clippings to make a collage. - Playing with the dog
If there is a dog at home, we can have a great time playing with him. Kids can even teach him some simple new tricks, like “Sit” and “Go to bed”. - Cooking together
Is there anything better than cooking together and getting your hands dirty? We make pizza, bread, cakes and cookies, we give free rein to the children so they enjoy.
All these activities to play at home are in addition to the more usual ones such as painting, doing puzzles, building, cuddling, etc.
