With summer well and truly underway, it’s the perfect time to consider new ways to keep your children entertained, while making sure that they’re still developing while out of school. Experts suggest that the best way is to encourage children to engage in fun activities that also have an educational element.
A SUMMER OF LEARNING
It may seem a lot of work to take on the education of your little one during the summer months but don’t get too overwhelmed by this. Children are constantly learning and growing. Your main task is to put something in front of them or place them in a situation that will stimulate minds and bodies. Variety will be key here for both entertainment and educational reasons. Thankfully, as long as it’s fun, children will show little hesitation getting involved in whatever activity is set out, and they’ll be learning lots while they’re at it!
Take in a museum
To keep your child interested in learning, take an exciting day trip to a museum or a gallery. With so many options to choose from, it’s relatively straightforward to make it a regular activity this summer. Present it to your child as a fun day out full of exploration and adventure. They are sure to love the sprawling buildings with ancient artefacts, beautiful artworks and futuristic technologies. Just an hour in a museum or a gallery will fill your child’s mind with thoughts and inspiration without them getting bored or agitated. Tie it in with a nice lunch out and enjoy this special time together.
