Become a star for a day
Are your kids into music or have a talent for drama? Why not encourage these passions and organize a little play inspired by their favorite book or film a video clip of their favorite song? It doesn’t take much to get started: fun costumes made from your clothes, a video camera to capture everything and lots of fun!

Make your own soap!
Have you ever made your own soap? It’s super easy and really fun for kids: ask them to grate odorless white soap bars, add a little food coloring of your choice and a little water until the mixture turns into a workable paste. Use cookie cutters or silicone molds for unique and original soap shapes! If you want a really special result, combine colors or add a few drops of essential oil to give your soap a pleasant smell.
