Fun With Kids Activities

The biggest problem kids have is boredom. Gone are the days when children can be put in the back yard with a few toys and can come up with a game using their imagination.
Some parents have kids that love to entertain themselves and other parents have kids that need to be constantly entertained. The thing most parents hate is having to clean up after the kids have done activities.

An activity that requires very little cleaning after the kids are finished is a parents dream. Remember as kids entertaining yourself without a play station or computer.
Spending hours outside with the neighbourhood kids drawing with chalk all over the road and your driveway and then your parents waiting for the rain to wash away the huge mess out the front of your house.
With all the stories on the television about children spending more and more time in front of the tv, playing video and computer games it kind of makes you think what happened to all the primitive games and activities we did as kids to entertain ourselves that kept us outside until it was dark and all our parents had to say was be home before the street lights turn on.

Kids arent always safe these days to play around the neighbourhood but honestly most children would love some activities for outside play but most now lack the imagination to think of things to do and parents with busy life styles dont want extra work cleaning up huge messes.

This activity requires cheap paint brushes and some small beach buckets.
Give the kids a brush and and bucket and some water and let them loose outside.

They can paint the walls, your statues , concrete on the ground is a great canvas for their actworks and if they make a mistake they can move onto a clean patch of concrete.

The greatest thing about this activity is that it keeps the kids amused for hours and you let mother nature dry it up so when the kids have had hours of fun and it is all dryed up there will be no evidence that anything was ever done out there. This is a great activity in summer because the kids will also accidentally pour the water on themselves and again they will get dry also by mother nature and have a great time staying cool.

This also works in winter in an undercover area.
