Sometimes it isn’t always feasible to do activities with your children outside, due to the weather, allergies, or the pandemic. You may also be having money problems, so sometimes doing fun activities can be hard. Here are some cheap indoor activities that you and your children can enjoy together.

1. Cook and bake with your child. Kids love to have the opportunity to do things with you. Helping in the kitchen is a great option to consider when looking for some cheap activities to do. Making pie crusts, pizza, and biscuits can be some of the most fun things for kids, because they enjoy the feeling of squeezing dough through their fingers.
2. Make roads for toy cars using colored painter’s tape or blocks on the floor. When it’s time to change the “road,” or remove it completely, the fun can continue on a table. “Driving” with their toys will keep them busy for hours and is a very cheap entertainment idea that only takes a little time to set up. For kids old enough to handle play on their own, let them build their own cars and roads.
3. Have fun with arts and crafts. For many kids, finger painting and coloring is a great activity to do to fill their time. It can be messy, though, so ensure that if you’re going to try painting, put some old newspaper down on your table to prevent messes and avoid hassles. Monitoring their progress will make sure their “art” doesn’t end up on the furniture.
4. Play some board games. This is especially cheap if you already own some board games to play. This type of activity can be a lot of fun and is a great opportunity to bond with your kids. If you don’t have any board games, visit your local thrift store to find some at discounted prices.
5. Transform an old box into a toy. If you have a set of stairs and a big enough box, simply take the box apart and lay it flat on the set of stairs for a slide. Be sure though, that if you decide to make this type of slide, you’re careful that no one gets hurt. Ensure that there isn’t anything your child can bump into on the way down or any other dangers that could be looming.
6. Make some tie-dyed t-shirts. This activity can be cheap if you have any plain t-shirts that you aren’t wearing and is ideal for older kids who can follow instructions. All that you may need to buy is the dye for the shirts. This activity is a fun thing to do with each other and is something that, once the shirt is dry, can be worn together.
7. Make a fort. Drape some blankets and pillows over some chairs in the living room and make a fort. Then have some fun inside your fort. You can also turn off the lights in the room and use a flashlight to pretend like you’re camping.

Sometimes Mother Nature has different plans for us, so having some fun things to do indoors is a bonus. It’s an even bigger bonus when the things you do inside are fun, cheap, and offer you the opportunity to bond with your loved ones. These activities can provide hours of creative entertainment for even the tightest of family budgets.
