In fact, this is a great opportunity to learn how to spend quality time with your child, without being distracted by your smartphone and talking with other mothers. There are plenty of options to do.
1. Drawing
Nice weather, a bucket of crayons and a little space on the asphalt - you can draw without other children.
Learn by playing: draw letters, numbers, plants, animals. Draw classics and jump with your little one.
2. Bubble
Almost all children adore them. Babies can practice bubbles even for half an hour: blowing, catching up, and mom will have time to relax.
In addition, soap bubbles develop the baby's lungs thanks to deep breathing, helping to get even more oxygen.
3. Ball
The courts are closed, but no one will forbid you to play the ball just in the yard. Install an impromptu gate - and play football, draw a target on a tree - and there will be basketball. True, only together with a child.Also, such an active game as badminton fits into the quarantine rules - and it requires a minimum of equipment.
4. Herbarium
An activity for calm kids who like to examine and study everything - or for those who have already run into the ball and are ready to relax.
Trees and bushes are already in full bloom, from their leaves and flowers you can collect an interesting herbarium, dry them between book sheets, arrange in an album. And informative and entertaining at the same time.
You can also recall the forgotten skills of weaving dandelion wreaths.
And most importantly, there is a clear result of joint efforts.
5. Scooter and bike
So that the child is not so bored of riding himself, come up with a game with him, for example, in space rangers, who need to fly around the meteorites flying towards them as far as possible.
Passers-by will be meteorites - with whom the child on his "spaceship" will try to keep the maximum distance.
If a child does not know how to ride a bike, then the minimum number of people and cars on the street is the time to learn.
6. Bird feeding
Many babies love to feed birds on the street. Take bread, cookies or grain for a walk - show your baby how to properly throw food to the birds.At the same time, you can learn the names of birds, what sounds they make, what they like to eat, what kind of behavior they have. And also to instill in the child empathy and a sense of respect and empathy for the animal world.
7. Car brands
Both boys and girls love to memorize car brands and then recognize them. So don't think that only boys are interested in this. Girls also love these kind of riddles: finding cars of the same make, despite the fact that they may look completely different.
Memory, logic, associative thinking are trained.
