Activity for kids is essential when we want to keep kids busy for a while. I am sharing an interesting activity to keep your kids busy. Kids enjoy this activity as its interesting as well as educational.

 

In this lockdown kids are always sticked to TV or mobile. Parents are busy too so they can’t spend more time with kids. But the increasing screen time is not good for kids, their eyes are getting affected and kids are getting addicted to TV and mobile.

 

The Stencil activity will help to solve this problem in some extent, kids will enjoy making drawings using stencils and colour it in the way they want. This will help kids to concentrate, give satisfaction of creating something and also their handwriting will get improved.

For this activity you will need stencils, you will easily get different type of stencils here.

You can select the stencil as per your kids age. For kids aged 2 to 6 the alphabet, animal stencils will be good and for older kids you can use multiple stencils.

Older kids can make stories and various drawings suing the multiple stencils. This activity helps to improve handwriting, concentration in kids.
