Monsoon is the best time to introduce your child to the kitchen and bring out the chef in them. Cooking together will not only be a fun bonding activity but it will also pave the way for another fun indulgence…eating!

Tip:

Crunchy potato wedges and fries are the perfect snacks for rainy days. But if you want to opt for something healthier, try a spinach cheese pie. It’s super delicious and a great way to introduce some veggies into your little one’s platter. And if your kids are complaining that there aren’t any rainbows outside, take out your baking gear and have them join you in baking a yummy rainbow cake!

Rainbows fascinate kids and adults alike but are sadly hard to spot in the city. But the secret to creating your own indoor rainbow is out! So give your little ones the joy of creating their own fizzy, liquid rainbow right at home. Here’s educational science and fun, all in one!

Tip:

Gather a handful of materials comprising baking soda, food dye and vinegar for this bright experiment. Start by mixing the baking soda and a little water with food dye of each of the seven rainbow colours separately in bowls or test tubes. Line the bowls in the order of the rainbow colours and pour vinegar over them. There you have it, a bubbling rainbow! Their reaction is bound to be priceless!

With water being the central theme of any monsoon carnival, there’s no leaving it out. Let your little ones indulge in a harmless mess as they keep aside their brushes and crayons and try some fun finger painting. It’s the ultimate sensory activity that your kids would be delighted to try!

Tip:

Set base for this paper craft idea at any of your larger rooms as the activity would require some space. Arrange for flat dishes with a mixture of water and paint and let the fun unravel! Give them sheets of paper and watch the little artists evolve. If you wish to steer clear of the mess and post-activity clean-up, bring in tubs of play dough and create an extravagant monsoon play model with your little ones, replete with mountains, rivers, rain, and clouds!

It’s hard to keep the little ones indoors when all they want to do is go outside and have fun. The least you could do is recreate the outdoors with a fun paper craft idea; paper boats. And spoiler alert – It may just make you nostalgic!

Tip:

Fill up your bath tub or a plastic tub with water! You can teach them recycling with craft ideas for kids with waste material. Give your kids colourful paper or newspapers and teach them a thing or two about origami and how to make those perfect Paper boats.  When they’re done, direct them to the tub and watch them light up as they see their tiny boats embark on the ripples!

Tip:

If you have smaller kids, try LEGO toy activities like Wild River Escape. You can join them in this constructive activity and watch the hours go by. Keep a serving of hot cocoa ready soon after to reward your little champs! Take a cue from these DIY crafts for kids to turn those little frowns upside down when the rain won’t stop.
