Looking for activities to get you through these indoor days? Well, if you’ve burned through the 25 suggested activities mentioned in our previous blog post, then we’ve got you covered. The team at Sawyer put together a list of fun activities to do with your kids to keep them engaged at home.


Why is it important to vary your kids’ activities? 

When you’re spending more time at home with your little ones, it can be easy to lose your routine. Maybe you accidentally let them watch Disney movies all day(although, there is no such thing as too much Frozen), or consume excessive screen time. While these activities may be enjoyable for your kids, they don’t necessarily stimulate their brains in a healthy way.
