I’ve really made a serious effort to squash and conquer the screen-time demon. Some days are amazing. Everyone is happy and playing and smiling…I’m still getting work done and still finding time to play with them instead of pulling my hair out with mommy-guilt. Other days, though, if Netflix asks me if my kids are still watching one more time, I come close to throwing my laptop through the TV. (Then how would you get wonderfully curated lists?!?) All that being said, I’ve put together this list for you based on past personal experience along with new-to-me ideas I plan to try out this week and when they get a bit older. Are you ready to see how you can spark imagination and keep them busy without feeling guilty (or throwing your laptop at the TV)? I’ve got you covered! Here are 25 Guilt-Free “Busy” Activities Your Kids Can Do Besides TV. Serious…give them a box. That’s it…just a box. You might be surprised at how long they’ll quietly play with it.
