\"girl<\/p>\n

We love affordable art activities for kids and this adorable craft is budget-friendly and so fun to do! Help your child create their own sun catcher using cardboard, cellophane<\/a>, and scotch tape. You can also attach your suncatcher to a dowel<\/a> to create a wand!<\/p>\n

2. Make table tents for indoor camping.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Little<\/h2>\n

Don’t forget your flashlight! This is one of our favorite indoor activities for kids as it keeps them occupied for hours on end. Give your kids some sheets, blankets, and books and have them set up a magical getaway under your table.<\/p>\n

If you have a small tent that’s easy to set up, that’ll work too. Have your kids gather whatever toys, books, or thingamabobs they want to take camping and then let them flourish while you get back to being super mom.<\/p>\n

3. Complete a scavenger hunt.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This minimal supervision activity is quick and easy to set up. Simply hide the scavenger hunt clue cards. Your kids will solve the riddles to find out where to locate the next clue. They’ll be busy hunting down their next hint for as long as it takes! The more clues you have hidden, the longer they’ll stay occupied.<\/p>\n

We kept our hunt indoors, but if you have a safe backyard space, feel free to take the adventure outside! Back in 2022, Reddit had a massive summer scavenger hunt<\/a> and the list of over 400 items is still available online and perfect for older kids. For younger kids, print a simplified outdoor scavenger hunt list from Homeschool Share<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4. Creating vision boards is one of the easier indoor activities for kids.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Vision<\/p>\n

Help your child visualize their goals and dreams! For this minimal supervision craft, you’ll need a poster<\/a> <\/strong>and some markers or colored pencils. If your kids are old enough to handle scissors and glue on their own, they can create the ultimate vision board with magazine clippings.<\/p>\n

Here are a few vision board questions to get them inspired:<\/strong><\/p>\n
