Activities a Mother and a Child Could Enjoy

A mother's joy is to have the time to play with her children and spend more quality time with them. The fact is that we all love to re-live those childish moments while playing Barbie with our daughter or a soldier game with our son but how long will we last? Eventually we will get tired and bored while our restless kids will want to play more. This is one of my major problems at home since my oldest is never satisfied with the time we give her. If we make one puzzle she would want to make two, if we craft a duck she would want to make a whole farm so it is always never enough for her and as I have heard from a number of my dear friends, they seem to be facing the same exact problem with their own. To tell you the truth, we all love to play with our children but after sixty minutes we feel the need to go back to real life a little and this won't suit our children. How can we solve this dilemma? I found out few activities and games that would entertain me and my children so I won't feel obligated to play and they won't feel frustrated from the short time we spend practicing these games.

1 Coloring and Painting: I personally love to go to the ceramic shop to paint a piece every now and then. It is so relaxing, comforting and I get to be a little creative. This activity could be practiced at home with our kids. You will be saving few bucks since I pay around fifty dollars every time I go there. What you need is few acrylic paint, plain white dishes or tea cups and a brush. Take my word on it, your children will be very amused coloring on plates and you will be practicing an activity you enjoy therefore time won't be a question. You can spend hours painting and you will enjoy sharing an activity you like with your children.

2 Twenty questions: While lying down on your favorite recliner sofa you can play this game with your kids. You can begin with twenty questions and end up with sixty, as long as you are relaxed you will enjoy the time spent with your children. From one side you will be teaching them a lot especially if you choose educational questions and from the other side you will be taking a break from all the house chores and work you might have.

Numerous are the activities you can both enjoy but this doesn't mean that we stop participating in their favorite games as well but now we know that whenever we feel tired we can skip to another activity that is more suitable to us.
