20 Fun Things Your Kids Can Do This Summer

20 Fun Things Your Kids Can Do This Summer

1 Plant their own indoor garden. An educational experience in its own right, planting a garden is also so much fun. Worried about the Dubai heat? Try mygreenchapter.com for three-step ‘indoor grow’ kits.

2 Play dress-up. Collect some funny props from a deals-filled market or look into your own wardrobe for quirky clothing and accessories. Get creative with styling and have a garden or superhero party.

3 Take music lessons. Did you know your kids may be ready for music lessons way sooner than you think? Dubai-based centre Music Together offers classes for kids ages zero to five. Check them out on: musictogethersolmido.com

4 Hold a car wash. Let’s face it, even us adults are fascinated by the car wash (lots of bubbles and splashes – hello!). Kids love cars, water and messy play so ask them to give it a good scrub with a pot of water and sponge. Just be mindful of cars parked nearby.

5 Browse the web. Screen time can be bad for the kids, but did you know that controlled surfing can increase children’s communication skills and mental sharpness? Half an hour is more than enough, but make sure you’re next to them to monitor their browsing.
