Many people tend to forget that a condo can be a place of sanctuary for adults while simultaneously being a space for adventure for kids! This does not mean that because your children stay indoors for the summer, they will be glued to the television or gadgets. After all, there are several summer activities for kids that you can do inside your condo!
Indeed, going outside to bond may have pros, but the time you will have at home will undoubtedly be way more intimate, enjoyable, and informative to the kids. With that, Vista Residences craft their spaces conveniently so you can make all the adventures with your kids possible without leaving your home! Regardless of the size of your home, you will undoubtedly still be able to make these activities during summer and elevate your child’s condo living experience.
Do a Simple Science Experiment
Science experiments do not mean danger or hazards immediately. There are countless easy experiments you can do that will still amaze your child and make a fun bonding moment with you as a family. For instance, you can make a miniature volcano erupt using baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring! This activity will significantly elevate your child’s condo living experience as it will make them feel like home can be a place of adventure too! Moreover, experiments can hone their motor skills, critical thinking, and cooperation. But aside from the volcano, there are many other experiments you can try that will not require too much effort and materials. All you have to do is go over YouTube and search for easy experiments for kids!
Play Family Games
Board games, charades, Pinoy Henyo, and other guessing games are also one of the fun summer break activities for kids you can do at home! This will help stimulate your child’s cognitive skills and create a fun bonding moment between you and the kids. You can pair up between girls versus boys or individually play to make the game more exciting. Indeed, this will make the children realize that playing family games is better than watching on their iPad and being glued to the TV.
Slime Making
One of the most hit activities during summer is probably slime making. After all, many kids find slime entertaining, and they can play with it for weeks, giving you more time to plan another fun activity for the following days. Moreover, this project will build your child’s muscle strength, especially in their hands, as they will be kneading to make the slime! The materials you will need are glue, baking soda, food color, and a little bit of saline solution until you reach a satisfying consistency for the kids. However, slime kits are available on several online selling platforms, which you can buy to avoid the hassle of putting the materials together yourself.
Utilize Your Condo’s Amenities
On the days when you have nothing planned, you can thank your condo’s outstanding amenities! After all, Vista Residences have swimming pools, fitness gyms, function halls, and even a play area for kids in some of their condos. Hence, you can have a little swimming party with your kids and order pizza by the pool. Another thing you can do is bring them to the gym so they can be your little workout buddy for the day! Who knew summer activities for kids could be fun even without leaving your condo, right?
Vista Residences offers properties in Baguio City, Cagayan De Oro, Cebu, Makati, Mandaluyong, Manila, Pasig, Quezon City, and Taguig that are all built for your purpose! Thus, you will never go wrong in choosing them to make your home as they prioritize your convenience through their impeccable amenities and your safety with 24-hour security.
Have Movie Nights
Movie nights can also be fun summer break activities for kids! You can let them choose the movie to watch and elevate the experience by building a fort. After all, your condo’s living room would make a suitable area for a nice fort where you can snuggle while watching a movie!
Make Ice Cream at Home
Making ice cream at home requires easy ingredients that will not hassle you! All you need are fruits and toppings of your choice, all-purpose cream, condensed milk, and vanilla extract! What an easy way to keep your children busy and their tummies happy, right? Moreover, this can also stimulate the child’s motor skills and build their muscle strength as they mix all the ingredients.
Paint the Skies
Indeed, planning for summer break activities for kids should always include paint and getting a little bit messy. After all, nobody enjoys mess more than kids. With that, you can hop on your balcony and set up a painting station where your kids can paint the skies above your condo. Plus, if you paint on the balcony, you can minimize having the colors drip on your furniture or carpet. What is more, painting helps your child connect with their creative side and gives them the freedom to experiment with colors all they want! Hence, they can go crazy over this activity and still call their outputs a masterpiece they can put on the wall.
Make a Scrapbook
Printing photographs and putting them in a book can be fun to get your child’s creative and sentimental side functioning. This way, you can reflect on all the fun memories and special milestones your little family has overcome over the years! All you need to prepare for this activity are the pictures, washi tapes, stickers, bond papers, colored papers, and other art materials that can help make the scrapbook look more fun and decorative. With that, take a trip down memory lane with your kids and have a blast while staying at home!
Create an Obstacle Course in the Living Room
Although this may require more of your creative spirit, the result will be priceless once you see your children having the best summer ever while hopping around different obstacles. All you have to use are pillows, furniture, ropes, balls, tunnels, and anything you see lying around the condo. You can challenge your kids to compete with one another or themselves to make the obstacles more fun and challenging! Indeed, this is one of the summer activities for kids that will help improve your child’s balance, motor skills, critical thinking, and confidence.
