Indoor games: Ideas to combat boredom in winterToo cold, too wet, too dark: not every day in winter is ideal for playing outdoors. There are lots of great ideas to combat boredom and cabin fever that are also fun indoors. Here you can find out how to turn your child's room into an adventure playground.
Active, creative, innovative - more than just toysToys are not just an activity, but also a motor for development. Depending on what is important and fun for you and your child, the choice is huge: didactic sports toys such as a balance beam or a climbing triangle activate the sense of balance and fuel the fun of movement. Montessori products such as a climbing tower integrate children into everyday life - and awaken an interest in cooking and baking, for example. Building and construction toys are just the thing for little engineers, while play figures and role-play sets stimulate the imagination and allow children to immerse themselves in another world. Either way, playing together teaches children to interact responsibly and socially. And it's twice as much fun!
Bringing the playground indoorsA spacious outdoor playground is the ultimate. Especially when it comes to the irrepressible urge to move. Children also need an outlet for this at home - just on a smaller scale and with cleverly channelled energy. Wooden balancing and climbing equipment requires no installation and can be used in a variety of ways. They offer the right level of challenge and require concentration. The most exciting part of the small climbing game is when you think up a few challenges: who can balance the longest or complete the fastest climbing round?
Create space for everyoneEven in the largest home, it can get pretty cramped in winter. That's why retreats for everyone are a must. Children love to immerse themselves in their favourite activities. Free play allows them to experiment, discover and give free rein to their creativity. In doing so, they experience themselves as self-effective and learn to understand their world. This is not only possible in their own room. Play tents in the living room also create an undisturbed environment. And a climbing triangle can be transformed into a robbers' den in no time at all with a few blankets and cushions. Or simply free up the dining table!
Play together, grow togetherEnough playing alone? So why not get everyone together and enjoy a cold afternoon together? Board games or puzzles for the whole family create a great atmosphere, strengthen cohesion and provide an opportunity to learn how to socialise.
