As parents, creating special memories with our children is one thing we aim for. We tend to imagine them as adults but we also look back on the memories of their childhood: cooking together with the family, working on crafts, and having a lot of fun adventures while travelling. Fortunately, you can still give your children some great memories that they can have as adults. This can be done by engaging in simple yet fun activities that you can do together as a family. Just remember that these activities are a plus but children really care more about the interaction and quality time that you spent with them.

 

Below are various ways to make lasting memories with your children:

 

 

Reading Books

 

Reading a book with your child is one of the most wonderful memories your little ones can have. Children enjoy bedtime routines and when they grow up, they will definitely remember reading books with you before bedtime. You can also browse online to gain some tips on how to make reading time more memorable.

 

 

Listen and Talk

 

This is one thing that some parents are usually unaware of, but having conversations with your children is  highly essential for their growth. Having a little time to open up and communicate matters a lot to them. It strengthens the bond between parents and children; additionally, communication lets them know that you are there for them especially when they need someone to talk to.

 

Most parents are guilty of having conversations with children that often involve giving instructions which is definitely not a memory that would last. Every day, take at least ten minutes to sit and talk with your children. Ask questions about their day and talk about yours as well. Doing so also helps enhance your children’s learning capabilities, develops cognitive thinking, as well as independence.

 

 

Eat Together

 

Due to circumstances, finding the time to eat together can be challenging; however, having the whole family eating together during mealtimes is another opportunity to create special memories with your little ones. If this cannot be done on a daily basis, you can consider having Sunday breakfast together and have everyone share their activities and adventures for the week.

 

 

Quality Time in the Kitchen

 

Even if you are not great at cooking or baking, making simple things such as hot chocolate, ice cream floats, or even baking pre-made cookies will be a fun and lasting memory for your little ones. Most children remember the fun experience instead of what you make so it is the quality time that matters most.

 

 

Play in the Rain

 

As a child, nothing beats stomping in puddles and dancing in the rain. The next time rain begins falling, head out for some fun with your little ones. This will be more exciting and memorable for them because you will be playing in the rain with them.

 

 

Work on Simple Crafts

 

There are a lot of amazing craft ideas on the internet that can be quite overwhelming for some, but you can definitely find some simple and easy craft activities that you and your little ones can do together. Some of these crafting activities include creating a scrapbook or doing activities featured in drawing books that provide step-by-step instructions. Try not to focus on the difficult crafts and choose the easier ones; you are aiming for lasting memories, not creating a masterpiece.

 

 

Family Night

 

Whether it’s playing board games or having movie nights, any simple activity will be fun and memorable as long as the family is together. Although these moments are very simple, these times give you the opportunity for conversations and bonding which is vital when creating lasting memories with your loved ones. One of the best ways you can spend family nights is by playing with the Whistlecopter toys; these amazing LED toys emit extremely bright LED lights that are often mistaken for fireworks, airplanes, shooting stars, and even UFO’s when launched into the sky, which is why a lot of families enjoy playing with these. What makes the Whistlecopter one of the best toys in the market today is that they are made from high-quality materials that are very durable ! Additionally, the materials used are also non-toxic to provide safety for everyone.

 

As you can see, making unforgettable memories with the family does not need to be a challenge; it is all about taking the opportunity when it presents itself. Take every chance to have fun while your little ones are young since fun and lasting memories are the best gifts you could give your children and these are the most precious moments they can hold onto until they grow up.
