Balloon Tennis
Balloon Tennis
If you're looking for a way to get the kids to burn some energy while not jeopardizing your home, we love indoor balloon tennis.
Using a balloon can give you a sigh of relief knowing your house won't be disturbed while the kids get to have fun, and burn off some energy. We'd recommend playing this game in an open space in your house! Check out Little Bins for Little Hands to see how much fun this can be.

Paper Plane Target Practice
Does anything scream childhood quite like folding a paper plane? With just a few household items you can create an awesome paper plane target! We don't think this one will be just for the kids, it definitely reminds us of games we played in our childhood and we'd love to get in on the action. You can find the full tutorial here.

Masking Tape Maze
We know you must have the items for this laying around somewhere! This game is not only fun and easy, but is extremely low maintenance to set up and take down. We recommend taking turns with your kids in creating a maze for each other to work through.

DIY Ring Toss
You can make your own brightly coloured rings and decorate them to your liking, then set up this game using more household items. You'll need paper plates, cardboard tubes (we suggest using the end of a paper towel roll), paint, scissors, paint brushes, glue, and anything else you'd like to include in order to decorate the rings.
