International Children's Day is one of the most special holidays of the year and is eagerly awaited by all the youngest. On this occasion, children receive gifts and wishes from adults, and special attractions are organized for them at home, in kindergarten or in the city. How to make June 1st a day full of joy and fun?

What to come up with for Children’s Day?

Before the upcoming 1st of June, parents often frantically look for gifts for their children, which usually involves buying another toy, which then joins the already collected collection in the child's room. How to avoid such situations and organize more sophisticated attractions for Children's Day? It doesn't have to be difficult! The most important thing is to spend this time together having fun and celebrating, because after all, each of us is a child.

What ideas for Children’s Day at home?

It is best to start celebrating Children's Day in the morning. On this occasion, allow yourself and your children to do something unusual, such as wearing pajamas until noon, preparing an unusual breakfast of your favorite treats, turning on some music and dancing together in the morning.

Time spent with your child at home can be very valuable and filled with many interesting games and activities. It is best to choose the type of attractions that both you and your children enjoy. What can you do together?

Card and board games

It is not only an interesting form of joint entertainment, but also has an educational character. Games teach logical thinking and healthy competition. You can organize a tournament with prizes or join teams. It all depends on the number of participants, age and type of game. The most popular board games include: Monopoly, Scrabble, Get on the Train, Dixit and the timeless chess and checkers. 

Karaoke

Or maybe you are a family with vocal skills or you simply like to sing? If so, karaoke will be a great entertainment for you on Children's Day! Prepare a list of your favorite songs, popular hits or songs from fairy tales in advance. To organize karaoke, all you need is a computer or tablet with Internet access, and installing a dedicated application with a ready library of songs with lyrics will make it even easier for you. What's more, you can create a small stage in the room for performances, thanks to which you will feel like you are at a real concert.

Sensory games

This type of attraction works best for toddlers who love to mold, crush, pour or pour. Preparing sensory games at home is very simple - just reach for products from the kitchen cabinet such as: flour, potato starch, baking powder, salt, oil and water. Using them, you can create salt dough, play dough, kinetic sand or non-Newtonian fluid and you have great games ready for your children. Painting with your hands and feet on large-format paper is also a great sensory activity. All such activities stimulate the child's senses, developing their creativity and imagination. 

What are the outdoor attractions for Children’s Day?

June 1st is good weather, so it's worth moving outside and organizing outdoor activities for children. What types of attractions will work best?

Treasure hunters

This is a very interesting game that can be played in the garden, park, forest or even at home. You have to hide the treasure from children and then prepare a map with directions to the destination and possibly additional tasks. You can also give the search a theme, e.g. a pirate chest, knights' treasure or a secret hidden in the jungle. Children love to take on different roles, and such a game will allow them to transform into other characters depending on the chosen theme. The found treasure should be attractive and contain a gift for each participant, e.g. a toy, medal or sweets. 

Blowing soap bubbles

This attraction is especially loved by the youngest children. It is one of the simplest games, and at the same time it brings a lot of joy. All you need to do is buy the right liquid, sticks or hoops and let the children blow soap bubbles. You can also try to create the liquid yourself, or even better, invent it together with your child.

Sports games

Outdoor activities are the best thing we can offer our child. In this way, we take care of their physical and social development by participating in group activities. On the occasion of Children's Day, we can organize a sports tournament with individual disciplines, e.g. throwing at a target, slalom between cones, long jumps, hula-hooping, sack races and many others. Medals or other prizes should be prepared for the winner and all other participants.

Sweet treats for Children's Day

Every celebration must be accompanied by delicious food, and most children are sweet lovers. That is why, especially on the occasion of Children's Day, you cannot deny your children the opportunity to eat some sweets! In this situation, a good and certainly healthier solution is to bake together => cakes or preparing another dessert. Then we use only natural ingredients and avoid artificial additives and harmful preservatives, which are usually abundant in ready-made confectionery and traditional sweets.

Homemade baked goods made exclusively from natural ingredients can also be found in => Jack Placek Bakery. So if you don't have enough time to prepare desserts as a family, we invite you to shop in our stationary stores and online store.
