Kids just love to play.
In summer, keeping kids busy become one big challenge as outdoor activities have to be really restricted.
You, as parents are surely put to tests of all kinds when you have to keep your little wonders distracted while making sure they don’t step out in the harsh sun.
In this post, you will come across some unique and interesting games to help your toddler have some fun indoors.
6 indoor games to play with your toddler
1. The Harry Potter Magic Spell
Take 3 paper cups.
Invert them and place a coin under one of the three cups and just shuffle them. Ask your baby to figure out which cup holds the coin.
Just try slipping the coin under the carpet or somewhere while doing this trick to see your little wonder’s amazement in learning the coin has disappeared with magic.
2. Water and Freeze
Play your little baby’s favorite rhymes and ask her to dance to the songs. Stop the song randomly and say freeze and your child is supposed to stand still.
When you say water, she can start dancing again.
It is a very nice game and is really fun filled too.
3. The Circus Master
You must be aware as how much your kid loves to walk on a straight line. Just pull out a masking tape.
Paste it on the floor in straight lines. Ask your kid to walk straight on those tapes. To make it more interesting you could ask him or her to walk forward and backward or hop on the line or balance with one foot on the line.
4. Bowling
Gather all your old plastic bottles. Paste a tape in a straight line as a start line. Take a medium sized ball and start bowling. It is a lot of fun and your lolo would love to play this.
5. Sshhhh!…..listener’s game
Collect some miscellaneous items like a comb, a bowl, a glass, a pen, a book etc… Let your child see all these objects first. Then, ask him to close eyes as you make sound from each of the objects and he is required to identify it.
6. Blowing bubbles
Take a plate with some dish washing soap placed in the centre. Pour some water on the soap and mix well to let form some lather form on it.
Now place a straw in the lather and ask your child to gently blow it to form a big bubble.

But, care needs to be taken so that your child does not sip in this liquid with the straw.
