The past year has changed our family lives so much, especially the way our kids are going to school and how they’re learning. Quarantine and other protective measures have increased our children’s presence indoors and shifted a good chunk of schooling hours to the home. This has meant screen-time battles, kiddo’s wandering attention during online-classes, and sometimes just good old-fashioned boredom.
At Kidzapp, where most of us are parents ourselves, we’ve been through all the learning bumps under the sun this quarantine and so with experience we’ve got a few tricks up our sleeves. We’ve curated some of the best ways to keep your kiddos engaged and learning at home, with these great activity boxes that are fun, interesting, engaging, and will help them flex those brain muscles and keep them off the cartoons (although a healthy dose never hurt anyone!).
My Discovery Lab is an excellent option to keep those “I’m bored” declarations at bay. They bring your kids exciting Science Experiments & STEAM activities through their super engaging activity boxes.
Their ‘at-home’ laboratory boxes are full of cool experiments, exciting activities and investigations designed to inspire and amaze your kids. These are specially tailored to age groups 3 to 5 years, 6 to 9 years, and 10 to 14 years – and the boxes contain everything your kids need to get experimenting. And with Kidzapp, you get 25% off!
