Keeping your family entertained at home is easy with these fun crafts and activities.<\/span><\/h1>\n

Family life has changed drastically for kids and parents alike. With everyone home from school and work, coping with this sudden stay-at-home lifestyle can feel challenging to downright stressful.<\/span><\/p>\n

But there’s good news! Having everyone at home gives your family a chance to really strengthen its bond, and one of the best ways to come together as a family is through shared activities<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are 10 awesome activities your entire family can enjoy.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Spend the afternoon folding origami or making printable paper crafts.<\/span><\/h2>\n

If your family loves art and hasn’t tried origami, now is a great time to experiment with paper folding. You can purchase origami paper online and find a number of different folding designs for all ages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a great website<\/span><\/a> for finding both easy and challenging origami designs. You can also find plenty of videos on YouTube if your family members are visual learners.<\/span><\/p>\n

Printable paper crafts are also a lot of fun and can even be quite addicting. You won’t need special paper for these, though a thicker cardstock can work well for some designs. <\/span>This website has hundreds of paper craft designs<\/span><\/a> for all skill levels.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Stay active and release any tension or stress with kid-friendly yoga sessions.<\/span><\/h2>\n

It’s important to stay active and moving, even when we need to stay at home. Yoga is a great way to get your family moving and stretching while also releasing tension and stress.<\/span><\/p>\n

Older kids and teens shouldn’t have a problem following along with standard yoga routines, but little kids might find instructional videos for adults to be boring. You can keep their interest by playing kid-friendly yoga videos instead. The YouTube channel <\/span>Cosmic Kids Yoga<\/span><\/a> is a must-visit for kids’ yoga videos!<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Turn dinnertime into something fun and creative with a make-your-own pizza night.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Dinnertime is the perfect opportunity to do something fun as a family. Pizza night is a staple for many households, but you can put a creative twist on it by letting everyone top their own individual pizza. Set up a pizza topping bar with all of your family’s favorites\u2014and maybe even some unusual or new ingredients. Supply each family member with a pie of their own to top, or you can have each member top one-half or one-quarter of a large pie.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can take the make-your-own idea a step further by setting up a <\/span>DIY ice cream bar<\/span><\/a> for dessert. Think Coldstone right in your own home!<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Experiment with new recipes for homemade, colorful, and scented slime, playdough, or sand.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sensory activities are really exciting for young kids, but even older kids and parents can’t help but play around with slime and playdough. These items are super easy to make at home, and you can find hundreds of different \u201crecipes\u201d online.<\/span><\/p>\n
