We give you 9 ideas for making them at home with children of different ages. And with everyday objects.
Quarantine can be a complex time for children and adults alike. And while many children have come to understand to a greater or lesser extent what is happening in the world with COVID-19 (coronavirus) and why we are all safely tucked away in our homes... That doesn't mean that so many days of confinement don't take their toll.
And if you, who are fully aware of what is happening, have moments when the house becomes almost Lilliputian, imagine the little ones in the house.
That is why, we bring you a few ideas for spending time at home in a creative and fun way.. Don't worry, we are not going to start drawing pictures with salt on the floor, we leave that to the more artistic ones. Although you might have to do a bit of work.
The youngest: 2 to 4 YEARS OLD
Shall we tell the story? Remember the last party the kids went to and then choose four or five photos. Try messing them up - you can do it on your own mobile phone - and then let them sort out the story.
For example, a picture of when the grandparents arrived, a picture of when they blew out the candles, a picture of when they were decorating the party and a picture of everyone playing. Help them by reminding them what happened that day so they can put the sequence together.
Find the pairs. Look for things around the house that they can touch and manipulate. Let them find the pair that are most in sync. For example, let them find relationships between the soap and the towel or between the pencil and the paper.

Children of 4 to 6 YEARS
Do you remember the game of pairs? Let's take it up a notch. Get a series of cards with different objects, you can even select them by theme, and then place them on the table face up.
Allow them a moment to memorise the cards and then turn them over. Who will have a better memory?
Also, a plus for this game is to design the cards yourselves. If you have paper and colours, what is the limit?
Once upon a time. It all started like this, once upon a time, and each player says a sentence to continue the story, The fun is in not stopping, even if the story gets crazier and crazier! You can also immortalise the story by drawing it in a notebook.
Children of 6 to 9 YEARS
Mum, I want to be an architect. A shoebox can be a world of possibilities: a castle, a farm, a laboratory or a tower. All the little ones need to do is to have anything at their disposal that gives free rein to their imagination and decorate!
The autocorrectHave you ever been tricked by your mobile phone and, when you realised, the autocorrect has created the most insane sentence possible? Well, that's what we're going to play.
And as we like to recycle a lot, we are going to take advantage of the things we have at home to put it on the table. If you have an old magazine or newspaper at home, now is the time.
Cut out all sorts of words and, when you have a good pile, it's time to play. You can even set up different categories, Who will be the fastest, and the one with the most bizarre phrase?
For older children: from 9 to 11 YEARS
It is never a bad idea to learn origamiThe art of paper where anything is possible and there are no scissors to cause drama. If you don't have any special paper at home, no problem, how about recycling paper and painting it with colourful designs before getting in between folds?
If they manage to create some fun frogs, they can then take part in a race!
I'm sure that these days at home have helped you to go through it from top to bottom. We know, we've all done it and discovered unimaginable, forgotten things and heard a lot of "So you were here!
And do you know what that means?DISGUISES! The ready-made Carnival ones are not enough, neither are the Halloween ones. Let everyone in the house unleash their creativity and turn the everyday into an art form.
FOR ALL AUDIENCES
A final gift to finish, a game for all ages. They can always play the detectives. The basis is simple, hide things around the house.
You will not be able to give them clues, but they will be able to ask you questions about its weight, size, shape, or any question they can think of that does not require answering with the name of the object itself. Get out your magnifying glasses and trench coats!
