Stayin home tips with kids!
Mother and Epplejecker Mary is, just like many of you, at home 24/7 with her lovely kids (though they aren’t quite so lovely anymore). And the struggle is real! How can you entertain your little angels (or little rascals) day in and day out and give yourself some rest without sending them off to grandma and grandpa? No worries, Mary has 5 of the best homestay tips with kids for you!
Mary’s tip 1: Riding school at home
Do you have a few cones or objects that can serve as an obstacle in the house? Then set out a route in the garden (the sun is shining nicely, so get some fresh air). With Miss Melody's horse toy and a little imagination, organise a riding school lesson in your backyard. For example, write arena letters on paper and let them ride different figures and exercises. Immediately score home tuition points on physical education ;)
Mary’s tip 2: Arts & crafts
Transform the dining table into a real craft factory. Child labour has never been so cute with these Miss Melody's DIY projects. Take, for example, the
Paper Fun by Miss Melody in which you can make postcards (how fun to send a card to grandma and grandpa!), pencil trays, flags and lots more fun things. Or go a step further with the home-made
plaster horses from SES. Mix the plaster, pour it into a mould, let it dry and paint! There are no less than 12 moulds in the package, so there is little chance of fighting (read: little, but it’s not ruled out. You know exactly which child we're talking about...)
Mary’s tip 3: Family fun
Do you still have the energy to do something fun with your kids? Then play the funny 'horse to your stable' game or become the best horse in your stable with the game horse-opoly. Do you already know horse bingo? Just like regular bingo but with a horsey twist. We have all kinds of fun horse games for a hi-hi-hilarious game afternoon. (Dutch only)
Mary’s tip 4: Fun with a toilet roll
With the cupboards full of toilet paper that everyone has in the house by now, it's only a matter of time for empty rolls. Do you have some? Great! Craft and create the cutest horses from empty toilet rolls. Give them the most creative colours, the most beautiful cuts and go nuts; just create a whole stable!
By the way, did you know that you can also give our orange Epplejeck shipping boxes a second life? Cut Jecky's Ranch and you can immediately give your toilet roll horses an amazing home.
