Mum Shares Her School Holiday Hacks On How She Keeps Her Kids Entertained – And It Won’t Set You Back A Fortune

With school holidays around the corner, balancing your time between working, doing house chores and taking care of your kids is a juggle. Thinking of a fun and safe activity for your child can be overwhelming.

DIY enthusiast and mum of two, Jasmine Dunne, shares her fool proof, safe activities that keeps her little ones busy for hours while not costing too much either to make.

“With COVID still sweeping the nation, I am often reluctant to take my kids out to indoor play centres. I can’t help but worry about my kids getting infected with the virus. Combined with the bad lot of wet weather we are experiencing, outdoor activities look like they have been struck out too”, Jasmine explained. “I had to find a way to keep my kids entertained and busy while also making sure that they’re not in harm’s way”

Looking through what ingredients she had in her pantry home, Jasmine, created a few great activities that are super easy to make, free from harsh chemicals and great also for sensory play.

DIY Moon Sand

“In a wide container, I mix four cups of flour with a teaspoon of olive oil. I add in a couple drops of Lavender essential oil and mix them all together.”

“The moon sand is great for sensory play and engaging creativity. After we’re done making our moon sand, we went exploring and found some leaves, rocks, and grass to add into our play land.”

• Flour
• Olive Oil
• Lavender essential oil
• Food colouring (Optional)
• Leaves
• Rocks
• Grass
• Crafting tools of your choice

Procedure:

1. Take 4 cups of flour and put in a clean container.
2. Drop 1 teaspoon of olive oil and mix.
3. Add a couple drops of Lavender essential oil and mix using hands.
4. Now, start to decorate your Moon Sand by adding in the leaves, rocks, and grass.
5. Lastly, decorate your Moon Sand with your craft tools and you’re done!

DIY Playdough

“Making my own playdough is so easy and inexpensive. My secret hack is that I add in a few drops of essential oils that help with keeping my kids calm while still having fun.”Jasmine shared.

“I then tried making my own playdough by mixing four cups of flour with one cup of salt. Once mixed, I gradually add four tablespoons of oil and four tablespoons of lemon juice. I then gently poured two cups of boiling water into the mixture and combine them using a spatula.”

“Once it’s cooled down, I added a couple of drops of Lavender essential oil as well as Stress Away essential oil. I then divide the dough into two parts. I mix one part with Acai powder to make a light pink dough, and the other half I mix with turmeric powder to make a bright yellow dough.”

“With my DIYs, I have full confidence knowing that if Daisy eats my homemade playdough, the products used are non-toxic, just like all the other DIYs I make for our home since I only need basic pantry items and essential oils.”

“It’s important to know what’s in the products you are using” Jasmine added. “That’s why we are slowly sifting through areas in our life, making small, organic changes every day, week and month.”
