    Soap bubbles can be blown almost endlessly. At least until the solution runs out. For this to happen soon, make a large supply: 3.5 liters of water, a glass of dishwashing liquid, a tablespoon of glycerin. The barrel of solution is ready!

    22. Painting without spots

    If you pour a little shower gel mixed with dyes into a strong, hermetically sealed bag, your child will be able to draw futuristic pictures with their fingers without getting dirty!

    23. Car wash with your own hands


    Children can play for hours in the bathroom with a real car wash, which can be made from a five-liter plastic canister, dishwashing sponges and moisture-resistant adhesive tape.

    From the canister, you need to cut the sink body with entry and exit. Cut the dishwashing sponges into long thin sticks and glue them vertically to the ceiling of the sink. Use permanent markers to color in the structure. Place shaving foam in empty yogurt jars, take old toothbrushes and toy cars. Imagination will do the rest.

    24. Science experiment with balloons


    Show your child a chemical experiment in the kitchen. Put a spoonful of baking soda in a balloon and vinegar in an empty plastic bottle. Place the balloon on the neck of the bottle and fasten tightly. Gradually pour the baking soda from the ball into the bottle. The neutralization reaction will release a large amount of carbon dioxide, which will inflate the balloon.

    25. Frozen Dinosaur Egg


    If your child loves dinosaurs, show him how ancient dinosaurs hatched from eggs. Put a dinosaur figurine in a balloon and fill it with tinted water, then send the balloon to the freezer. When the water freezes, call the young paleontologists. Remove the "shell" of the ball from the eggs, examine the dinosaur in the ice. You can get the toy out with a small hammer (only you need to do this with swimming goggles so that small pieces of ice do not damage your eyes).

    26. Banana Ice Cream


    You can make popsicles with just one ingredient. Take bananas (preferably slightly overripe), peel and cut into thin slices. Place in the freezer. After a couple of hours, remove the frozen bananas and stir in a blender until the mixture resembles thick sour cream. Ice cream can be eaten straight away or placed in molds and re-frozen. Older kids can do the cooking themselves!

    When you become a mother, you learn a lot about how to manage to do a hundred and one things at the same time, while managing to sleep, drink tea, talk on the phone with a friend and take a shower.

    The main thing is calmness!

    Resistance to stress is developed by an effort of will, with the help of experience. To learn subtle parental wisdom, you need to know games for children, which the baby can do himself.

    How to keep children under one year old

    It is important to select activities that are appropriate for the child's age. The kid will lose interest in a game that is too simple or difficult for him.

    Baby is playing with dishes

    1. Games with cereals and jars;

    These activities are very helpful when you have to cook dinner. The baby also, it seems, “helps” mom.

    • The first way is to give the child plastic transparent jars of cereals so that he can look at them, shake them, knock them. Jars can be given empty, along with pots, this will also take a child - the baby will learn to put containers into each other and check which lid is suitable for what;
    • The second way is to put semolina on a tray and give the child plastic dishes, you can use a toy or disposable one. Show how to play with the rump: run your finger over it, drawing patterns, scoop it in your palm and pour it in a thin stream or dig with a spoon.

    Suggest "boil porridge" - put in a plastic cup or small saucepan and "boil". In these cases, a set of dishes and a toy stove will come in very handy.

    Boys can be given cars, small tractors are especially good. Children love to leave tire marks on the semolina!

    Children playing with dough

    1. Playing with salty dough. Play dough for crumbs up to a year is not yet necessary - they will put it in your mouth. And salty dough is safe and soft;
    • Cover the surface. Baking paper saves a lot - spread it on the table and glue the ends with tape so that it does not slip;
    • Show how to roll sausages, balls. If there are printed pictures with a clear outline, the child can fill the picture with colored salt dough, tearing it off piece by piece. In this case, the dough is made at home in any quantity and any color.

    Child playing in a bath with water

    1. Water games;
    • When mom needs a shower, the baby should not be left alone. Place him on a bath mat and give him a bowl of water. Put rubber toys, plastic cars, a boat in a basin, there is also a water mill. The child himself will come up with something to do with such things;
    • You can think of it for him - take the children's game "Fishing", it has fish and a fishing rod with magnets, let it catch;
    • And then give me a rag, "wash the floor"! In general, cleaning games are very relevant when mom is cleaning. After all, you do it together.

    Therefore, any important task can be turned into a kind of game. You wash the dishes - let the kid participate - let him wash the toy. Cook - Give Velcro plastic vegetables with a disposable knife. Do the cleaning - let him go and wipe everything with a rag. Both the child and the mother are busy.

    Child playing with wooden toy

    1. Wooden Toys;

    There are sets of famous fairy tales, such as "Turnip", made of wood. Safe material, sturdy parts.

    • Tell the children the appropriate fairy tale, showing it with the help of the characters from the box, and then leave it so that the kids can continue the game themselves
    • There are also wooden constructors, consisting of various blocks from which houses, towers, cities are built. Animals and little people will complement the fun activity. This is very imaginative;
    • There are other, logical, toys made of wood: a hammer, which must be knocked on bars or balls; mushrooms, which are displayed in order; columns of different shapes, on which you need to put on the corresponding figures.

    1. Drawing;
    • There are markers that are easily washed off the skin, so offer them to your little artist;
    • Another simple find is water coloring, the color on which appears from the water. That is, the child can do without a brush. There are some pictures that appear from water, but when they dry, they disappear again;
    • However, for paint lovers there are finger-type ones that are safe for children. This is not just drawing, but a real relaxing therapy recommended for restless and hyperactive children.

    Try it yourself if lately there is a lot of stress and you need to calm your nerves. First you have to overcome the feeling that the paint will stain your hands, and then ... it will be incredibly great!

    Child playing with a book

    1. Younger books;
    • They differ in that they are either not made of paper - they can be wetted, pulled, crumpled, or with interesting textural inserts. For example, there are books with pockets or with painted animals, in which the "real" wool can be touched. By the way, you can make such a book on your own using master classes;
    • Or books in which it is allowed (and even necessary!) To draw;
    • And musical ones are generally a great find! With songs from cartoons, fairy tales, teaching, with the voices of animals - it is better to choose these together with your child, to be sure that he will like it.
    1. Musical rugs;
    • Stepping on different places on such a rug, the child makes interesting sounds. Small ones take a long time!
    • "Talking posters" are also sold, they are also designed to be both interesting and informative: the underwater world, a zoo, geography, anatomy, alphabet, musical instruments.

    Games for children from one to two years old

    Of course, all of the above can be applied to an older age, but it will not captivate for a long time. Therefore, these methods must be improved. Or come up with new ones!

    1. Tent;
    • Make a house for children from cushions and a blanket - you probably played with the same as a child!
    • Put several chairs with backs to each other, throw a large duvet cover or something similar on top, lay a rug inside - a homemade tent is ready;
    • And even inside the tent, you can play any games, they will acquire a new attraction - tea drinking with dolls, cars, looking at pictures with a flashlight.

    Children playing in the store

    1. Shop game;
    • Even if you do not have a toy cart or shopping basket and a children's cash register, there is always a bag or handbag, old bottles, jars, boxes - everything is suitable for a store;
    • “Money” can be made out of paper, let the child cut it himself, arrange “goods”, and then plant the “seller” and “buyers” (dolls, soft toys).
    1. Stencils and stamps;
    • This is already a little more difficult than just "scribbling" on paper, you must first explain how to outline simple objects. After all, it is not necessary to buy stencils, take a coin, a jar, in short - everything that can be circled;
    • And homemade seals are made from a piece of dish sponge tied to a pencil. You dip it in paint, and then you put a print on paper;
    • You can also dip a thread in gouache, then arbitrarily lay it on a piece of paper and fold it in half, so that when unfolded, you get a symmetrical fantasy pattern.

    Pasta drawings

    1. Groats;
    • If the child no longer pulls everything into his mouth, besides semolina, offer him other types of cereals - beans, peas, millet. This therapy will help the little one calm down, develop motor skills and attention;
    • Suggest a game: sort the mixed cereals into different plates, let it be called, for example, "Cinderella"!
    • Whole pictures can be made from cereals and pasta. You just need to draw the outline of the image, and to make it simpler. Have the child apply glue to one area and stick some kind of cereal, then a second kind on another area.
    1. Various bright magnets;
    • Even a magnetic alphabet will do. While you are busy with something in the kitchen, let the children collect pictures on the refrigerator from magnets. Ideal if there are animals;
    • For older children, there are magnetic puzzles and even magnetic constructors, consisting of parts of different shapes with one magnetic side.

    Puppet theater game

    1. Puppet show;
    • Think of what to make a screen from, show the child, as an example, a small fairy tale involving even ordinary toys that are not necessarily worn on the hand;
    • And then give the task to come up with and show your own performance! If you have time, be sure to make a dollhouse out of an ordinary box for such games.

    Classes for any age

    There is something that will always entertain any children. No, we are not talking about cartoons, although, of course, in urgent moments they are very helpful.

    1. Well forgotten old;
    • Remove toys that your child is tired of. When he doesn't know what to do, give him a box of forgotten things, it will be such a wave of joy!
    • And you can also give some "mother's box" or a casket (provided that there are no particularly valuable or dangerous things), especially children like collections;
    • And also - photo albums. Nowadays, few people collect printed photos, but in vain - the kids love to look at them.
    1. Audio stories;
    • When you need to put the child to bed, and there is a lot to do, lie down with him for a minute or two, and then turn on the fairy tale. The kid will not be distracted by images, as it would be with a cartoon, and will be able to fall asleep. At least it will lie quietly!
    • You can even record a fairy tale with your mother's / father's / grandmother's voice. And most importantly, at this time mom herself can relax.

    Finding games for your children that they can do on their own, do not forget that it is imperative to set aside time for communication. Hugs, conversations, tender words - this is exactly what the crumbs expect from their mothers. At any age.

    Mom doesn't have days off or vacations, especially if a baby is following her. It is very difficult for him to explain that his mother is tired, and to ask for a few minutes to rest is simply impossible. We offer 14 ways to keep your child busy in order to free yourself at least 15-20 minutes for a rest or an important phone call.

    1. Games with plasticine or dough.With the help of plasticine, the kid can create an amazing world for hours, consisting of bright birds, funny animals and other crafts. But don't be upset if the plasticine is over. You can make a special salted dough in a bag. You don't even have to wash your plate! Older children will sculpt them with funny figures, and kids will simply knead for their pleasure and at the same time train their fingers. Crafts can be air dried or oven dried.

    Salty dough recipe: Mix 4 cups flour and 1 cup salt in a snap-on plastic bag. Pour in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and about ½ cup of water. Close the bag and clap it until the dough forms. Add more flour or water if needed. Use food coloring to add the desired shade.

    2. Build a tent.Take some sheets and drape them on a couple of chairs or armchairs to make a tent. Such a tent can be equipped with soft toys and pillows. Also, try organizing a picnic by letting your child eat in their new hideout. Half an hour of free time is guaranteed.

    3. Labyrinths. Print out mazes from any children's website and invite your child to find a way out with your finger or pencil. Such tasks can be selected for any age. This seemingly unassuming game develops patience, the ability to achieve goals, and spatial thinking well.

    4. Games with water. All you need is a baby bath, a few bowls, or bath toys. Fill the tub with water halfway and have your child wash the toy dishes. Older children can wash doll clothes in the dish, especially if you add foam or shower gel. Just don't forget to put some oilcloth!

    5. Making prints of objects on paper. Older children will be able to take part in this exciting activity. Use pencils or pastel crayons and tissue paper. To get a beautiful image, choose objects with a relief structure (animal stencils). And if your child loves to play in the store, then make "money." Place a coin under the paper, and have the kid hatch its surface with a pencil. This simple activity is very popular with children and will allow you to carve out a lot of free time.

    6. Playing with the newspaper. Depending on age and ability to use scissors, children can simply tear a newspaper into pieces, make snowballs out of it, try their hand at origami or cut a butterfly.

    7. Cleaning. Give your child a spray bottle of water and a tissue. Let him dust off, wash the doors, the refrigerator (outside). Kids are madly in love with helping adults, and with such tasks you will not only develop their independence, but also teach them how to do household chores. Just remember to compliment the little helper.

    8. "Leaves of water lilies". Cut out random shapes, numbers or letters (according to the child's age) in advance from thick multi-colored paper and lay them on the floor. Have the child stand on paper figures and name a letter, number, or color. This is a good way to keep your little one busy, unless you get tired of hearing the word "red!" Every few seconds. from the children's room.

    9. Games with objects. Place 10-20 items of any kind on the tray, from paper clips to spoons. Show them to your child for one minute. Then close the lid and offer to remember (and write down if the baby already knows how). Timed five minutes. The child then opens the tray and checks their answers. A few trays of trinkets and you have some free time. Be careful with sharp and small objects!

    Note to moms!


    Hello girls) I didn't think that the problem of stretch marks would touch me, but I will also write about it))) But there is nowhere to go, so I am writing here: How did I get rid of stretch marks after childbirth? I will be very glad if my method will help you too ...


    10. Drawing. Art projects can capture children's attention for several hours. Organize your workplace in advance: paints, pencils, paper. For the smallest children, simple coloring pages are suitable. Do not forget to put a rug, otherwise you will have to do a general cleaning instead of rest.

    11. Reading or listening to books.If the child already knows how and, most importantly, loves to read, then you will not have any problems with the opportunity to relax. Find a library for him with Russians folk tales, books by modern children's writers. For the little ones, audiobooks are suitable.

    12. Cartoons. There is no simpler and effective way to be alone, how to put a child in front of the TV and leave to follow the adventures of your favorite characters. But remember that watching cartoons should not exceed 20 minutes without a break.

    13. Let the child do what you do.Young children love to repeat after their parents, feeling like they are quite adults. Take advantage of this. If you are sitting at a computer, give your toddler an old keyboard so that he can press the keys with naughty fingers. If you are reading, give him a picture book, if you are on the phone, pick up an unnecessary receiver.

    14. Favorite toy. Those toys that the child has not played for a long time arouses a new wave of interest. Do not wait until he plays with his favorite typewriter. Hide it discreetly, and after a few days show it to the baby.

    The proposed methods are quite enough to carve out half an hour of free time for yourself. These minutes can be spent in different ways. The main thing is to gather new strength in order to throw them into raising a baby. Come up with new interesting fun that will not only allow you to sit in silence, but also help raise a smart and happy child.

    Give your child the pasta that has a hole in it and a string, after tying a large knot at one end to keep the pasta from falling off. Children can make beads or just a long-long bunch of pasta in different shapes and colors.

    You can also suggest stringing pasta on wire or sticks stuck in a plasticine or foam base. Also, pasta can be replaced with other materials: colored beads or cardboard.


    Sorting squares of colored cardboard

    Another activity that not only entertains, but also develops. For this DIY game for children, buy colored cardboard, cut it into small squares of different colors and attach it to a clothespin. Lay out a palette of colors in front of the child and let him try to attach a square of cardboard of the desired color with a clothespin. This is both a fun and educational game for toddlers.

    Obstacle course at home

    Funny drawings and collages from scrap materials
