Cycling around in the neighborhood

Its another good idea to let your kids ride their bikes around in the neighborhood with their friends. Riding with friends can be a very good pass time for kids. But, dont let them go on to the road. Ask them to ride on the sidewalk. If this is not an option, you can always take them to the nearest park where they can ride happily.

Homemade Water Wall

You can make a water wall easily at home. All you’re going to need are some soda bottles or any kind of bottles that you can find at home. Cut out a piece from the side of each of the bottle and align them on the wall so that water from one bottle directly falls into the cut open space and falls from there into another bottle. In this way you can easily make a water wall at home and keep your kids busy for a long time.
