How to Make A Board Game With Kids
Invite your children to design and make a board game? Most children enjoy board games, but there is something special about creating one of your own.
I’ve spent years collecting, testing, and writing about kid’s activities that help families connect. Not the kind that require a trip to the craft store and three hours of prep. The kind you can do on a rainy Tuesday afternoon with what you already have at home.
The 6-8-year-old years are magical. Your kids are old enough to follow instructions, creative enough to surprise you, and still young enough to think you’re pretty great. This is the sweet spot — and it goes faster than you think.
Whether you’re looking for a quick craft to fill a slow afternoon, a science experiment that will make them forget their tablet exists, or activities to make the holidays feel really special, you’ll find it here.
Keeping kids entertained can feel like a never-ending challenge, especially when the familiar cry of “I’m bored” rings out.
I found the trick was to have a list of ready to go kid’s activities that could be enjoyed at a moments notice. We’ve got hundreds of easy, kid’s activities to choose from.


Invite your kids go wild with colourful art projects inspired by the book “Swatch: the girl who loved colors” by Julia Denos. This vibrant, imaginative book is a huge hit with kids. I read it to our preschoolers at the library and they loved it. As an added bonus I included some great discussion questions and imaginative play.
Looking for something fun to do during spring break? Why not add a little science to mix? It’s the perfect time of year for it. Plants are growing, you’ll find worms in the garden and if you are lucky frogspawn in the ponds. I’ve collected 12 spring science activities that are easy to set up. They are guaranteed to wow your kids and give you a chance to have some fun together! Ready to get started?
