15 Fun Creative Activities For Kids

Make Art With Bubble Wrap

Instead of throwing away your latest delivery bubble wrap, use it to create art with your little one. Encourage your child to use different colours to paint the bubble wrap and create cute, funky designs by giving it shapes with a scissor. You can later hang your kids’ masterpieces as decor in your living room.

Enjoy Doodling With Your Little One

Doodling is a therapeutic activity and a fun way to pass the time. It also helps improve your child’s drawing skills and can be a great addition to their portfolio later in life. You can download printable versions of doodles or let your child freehand to hone their creative skills.

Make Paper Flowers

Paper flowers are easy to make and are the perfect way to brighten up your house. With just a few materials like tissue paper or crepe paper, glue, and scissors, you can create beautiful decorative pieces with your child.

Since this activity can get a tad bit messy, make sure that your child washes their hands afterward. Give them the natural foaming handwash from BabyChakra to remove dirt and impurities and keep their tiny hands soft and clean.

Create A Sensory Bag

Engage your toddler’s senses and boost their cognitive skills by exposing them to different colours, sounds, and textures. Sensory bags are easy to make and offer hours of mess-free play. All you need to do is fill a Ziploc bag with different sensory-building materials like glitter, hair gel, beads, and any other small items that your toddler wishes to put in.

Create Different Characters Using Stones

Your toddler can gather plenty of stones from your backyard and then draw or paint different characters on each one of them. This activity is super engaging and you can also encourage your child to use each stone character as a prop to make up a fun story.

Create Fairy Jars

This is another creative and stimulating activity that you can try with your kid. Plus, fairy jars are absolutely gorgeous to look at, and your child will be proud of the masterpiece that they’ve created. There are multiple tutorials that you can look at online for creating easy fairy jars at home.

Design A Postcard

Buy a bunch of blank postcards from a stationary, and hand them to your child along with stickers, paints, crayons, and more fun materials for them to decorate. Your little one can then design them and send out their cute postcards to their class friends and even family members.

Try Finger Painting

A piece of paper and paint are all your toddler needs to get creative and messy. Let your little ones use their fingers to create different designs on paper, and then decorate their art around your home.

After your little one is done with this activity, make sure to wipe their fingers clean with BabyChakra’s bamboo water wipes, and then proceed to wash their hands with the foaming handwash.

If you think sketching on paper is standard, then take it a notch higher by letting your little one create art on the sidewalk. Give them a few colourful chalks, and encourage them to bring their imaginations alive with their sketches.

Build An Indoor Fort

This is one of the most fun playtime creative activities for kids. Bring out all your chairs, pillows, boxes, sheets, and blankets, and help make your little ones build their own magical fort. After all the hard work, sit in the fort with your child and watch a fun movie while sipping on a cool drink and munching on some snacks.

Download And Print Fun Worksheets
