DIY Fun Summer Activities for Kids


April 20, 2018


It’s school break and we don’t want our kids to whine about being bored that’s why we have come up with 3 DIY ideas on how to make your kids vacation fun and educational.


  1. Make a Slime - This is very in demand nowadays. Kids from 4 to 8 years old are fond of making and playing with slimes.  If you’re thinking of a good bonding activity with your kids, try doing this.


It’s actually very simple and affordable.  All you need are the following materials:

  • Glue - 130grams, Php42.50

  • Shaving Cream  - 6.25oz, Php200

  • Lotion - smallest size, P20

  • Liquid detergent - 1 sachet, P15

  • small bowl

  • spoon


Here are the steps:

  1. Pour in all the glue content in a small bowl

  2. Add 5 puffs of shaving cream. This makes the slime become fluffy. Mix using the spoon until the glue blends well with the shaving cream.

  3. Add a small amount of lotion, around 1/2 teaspoon. Mix.

  4. Add 5 drops of liquid detergent. Mix.

  5. The slime starts to form and the texture becomes sticky.

  6. Pour 2 drops of liquid detergent unto your palm, hold the slime, mix and massage it using your hands. Continue until the slime becomes stretchy.


  1. Music Lessons - If you are musically inclined, why not introduce music to your kids as well?  There are DIY e-learnings that you can teach your kids such as guitar, piano, drum or voice lessons. Music is a way of expression which brings out the positive in you.


  1. Household chores training - Now is the best time to teach your kids some household chores. Explain to them the good points of learning how to wash the dishes, fix their beds, sweep the floor, set the table, etc. There’s nothing more rewarding, especially for mothers, to have extra helping hands around the house.


Assign a chore per kid. You may give them a reward at the end of the week for a job well done. Teaching your kids early will let them understand that this is part of daily life and learn that each one has a special role in the family. You are actually building them up to be a responsible individual.


Summer is the best time to be active but make sure you take extra precautions and be prepared for any sickness or illness that may strike you and your family. Apply for HealthCARE Cash Plan that provides cash assistance when any of your family member gets hospitalized.
