Celebrate International Children’s Day with some fantastic activities that both you and your little ones can enjoy together! From picnics to movie marathons and more, here are some quirky and delightful ideas for creating lasting memories on this special day.
Plan the perfect picnic
Get the picnic blanket ready, because it’s time to plan a delightful outdoor meal. Let your kids come up with cute finger-food ideas that you can prepare together. Whether it’s mini sandwiches, fruit kebabs or homemade snacks, let their creativity run wild. Your picnic can take place in a nearby park, at the beach, or even in your own backyard. Enjoy the sunshine and delicious treats!
Create cookie art
Unleash your artistic side with a cookie-painting session. Start by getting some pre-made cookies and ice them with white royal icing. Wait for them to dry, and then it’s time to paint. Use gel food colouring as ‘paint’ and let your kids create edible masterpieces. Don’t forget to add some sweets and sprinkles for that extra touch of sweetness.

Have some herb gardening fun
Teach your kids the joys of gardening by planting some herbs in pots. You can start from seeds or buy seedlings from your local garden centre. Herbs are perfect for impatient little ones because they can usually be harvested in just four to 14 days. That means fresh herbs for your meals and a valuable lesson in gardening for the kids!
Create some home cinema magic
Transform your living room into a cozy cinema for a movie marathon. Ask your kids to pick their favourite movies from a streaming platform, and why not add a few of your childhood classics to the mix? To complete the experience, gather your favourite popcorn seasonings and make healthy homemade slush puppies. You’ve got a cinema right at home, complete with comfy seating and your favourite films.
Make a time capsule
Create a time capsule with your kids for a memorable journey into the future. Have them draw a picture, write a letter, and add a small trinket into a box or an empty canister. This special capsule can be decorated and then buried in a unique location, a secret shared only between you and your children. Imagine the joy of rediscovering it together in the years to come!
