5 Holiday Tasks For Kids

By Tweenventure November 30, 2021

The holidays are coming up, and you know what that means! Kids are going to have a LOT of free time on their hands. Here are 5 things kids can do in their free time!


  1. You can make a craft! I have always loved doing crafts, it’s a great way to use older craft supplies and to pass the time. You can use basic household supplies to make crafts! Things like straws, plates, soap, shaving cream, and salt are amazing things you can use to make crafts.
  2. You can create a garden! You can get small plants to make a tiny garden right in your own home. You can put small and manageable plants in a space outdoors, or even put little plants on a shelf or in a box inside. For inspiration you could head to Flamingo Gardens, Sawgrass Nature Center, and Bedner’s Farm.
  3. Kids could make a simple and easy food. Salads and sandwiches are an easy to prepare meal for kids. Salads and sandwiches require little to no preparation or supervision. They don’t need fancy ingredients and come in handy. There are many different types of salads and sandwiches and can easily be changed up. Take a trip to your closest Publix deli for inspiration.
  4. Create an online hangout! Using platforms like Zoom or Teleparty you can connect with friends. You could talk, watch movies, or even study together! My friends and I like to play online games together. It’s a simple process to set up, and it’s great for interacting with friends and family you haven’t seen in a while.
  5. Assist your parents! You can help your parents cook, set the table, do the dishes and a lot more. Especially with the holiday season, there are going to be many moments needing preparations. Kids can help with baking cookies, putting out decorations and more! There are tons of ways us kids can help out around the house.
