100 + Activities to do With Your Kids Over March Break and Beyond

March Break can seem like the days are especially long if your kids aren’t kept busy and entertained. Even on a good day I often feel challenged to come up with creative ways to keep my boys busy. I’ve put some thought into this post to compile a list, I tired to think outside of the box and maybe even stretched a few ideas (see idea 21 and 60 haha).

This year is a particularly interesting time, since all regular scheduled programs and events have been cancelled and March Break has been extended for an additional two weeks due to COVID-19. I wanted to compile a list of activities to help keep your children busy and help keep you sane.

As much as we are homebodies, being stuck in the house with two children ages 4 and 6 is daunting. If you find yourself looking for things to do with your kiddos – here are a few ideas to help keep everyone entertained. My personal favourite is number 23.

Aside from this list of 100 + activities you can do with your kids. You can also create a theme for each day. Or have Friday’s a special day. For instance – PJ day, Party day or dress in red day.

Hopefully you will find a silver lining in all of this and enjoy some fun moments with your littles. Every day might not be perfect but try to find a few perfect moments each day or remind yourself what you are grateful for. Today and everyday I am grateful for our health, fresh clean air, online grocery ordering and all of the positive messages I’ve been seeing floating around social media lately.

If you need anything and I can help in any way please reach out!
