Entertaining kids doesn’t have to cost a lot of money. Kids are just looking for love and attention. Spend some quality time with your children while enjoying some of these low cost activities.
- Play Outside. What kid doesn’t like to play outside? They don’t mind the weather, it could be raining, snowing, sunny, or cloudy- they don’t care. Dress them for the occasion and let them go out and get their hands dirty. If you don’t have a big yard for them to play in, consider taking them to the local park. Cost $0
- Baking. My girls absolutely love to help me cook. You could make cupcakes, cookies, or whip up something from scratch. Use ingredients that you already have and let the kids get in on the action. Cost $0-$5
- Crafts. You can make a complete kids craft box at the dollar store for under $10.00. Get some construction paper, scissors, glue, crayons, and an assortment of stickers. You probably already have a lot of this on hand. Set the kids a sheet out on the floor and let them get creative. Cost $5-$10
- Pick Out a Toy at the Dollar Store. If you are itching to get out of the house and wanting to do something fun for your child, give them a finance lesson at the dollar store. Give your child a certain amount of money, say $3 and let him see how far he can make his money go. If your kids are anything like mine, the $1 toys get played with far more than the $50 toys. Cost $1-$5
- Go to the Library. Pack up the kiddos and make a trip to your local library. Let them browse through the books a pick a few. When you get home you can have an afternoon filled with reading. Cost $0 (and your gas)
- Have a Game Day. My kids are just at the age where they are learning how to play board games, and they love them! Round up the kids and whip out Chutes and Ladders, Candy Land, or whatever games are age appropriate and have some fun! Cost $0
- Make homemade play dough. Homemade play dough is super simple. Use food coloring at your own risk, I always skip the food coloring in fear of stains. Cost $0
- 3 Cup Flour
- 1 Cup Water
- ¼ Cup of Vegetable Oil
- 1 ½ Cup of Salt
- Food Coloring (With caution)
- Just Mix Together!

We have mates of ours that have a daughter and no television. When I questioned why they said because it takes away from our daughter’s growth as an individual. They feel she is not building any skills. She plays piano, violin, crafts, plays with friends, acts in church plays etc… and they watch the odd movie on the tele. Sorry, they have a tele but no cable. Interesting how outgoing and vibrant this child is and she doesn’t feel like she’s missing a thing. I wonder how it will affect them when she asks for a cell phone, if she does. Cheers Mr.CBB
Imagine how productive we’d all be with TV. I haven’t pretty much went without since July. The girls and I put in a DVD every night before they go to bed but that’s the extent of our TV watching. I used to think I couldn’t live without cable now I am not sure I want it back. As long as use keep kids entertained I don’t think they would notice there wasn’t any TV
How’s this for a creative and free way to entertain kids? We download free audiobooks for them. They’re especially great during road trips. There’s lots of great sites to get them, but this one seems to be their favorite. http://www.twirlygirlshop.com/moral-stories-for-kids
