You gobbled up all the leftovers on Boxing Day, and your sparkly jumpers are ready for their New Year\u2019s Eve debuts. But first, you have those few funny days between Christmas and New Year to fill. Not an easy task when everything is shut! Fortunately, the Wicked Uncle Elves have some fun ideas for activities to entertain the kids this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3oriNScTbEzEVoR1Is\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"boy looking out a window and waving\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Classic Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. Board games! Settle in for an afternoon of old favourites, or for something new, try <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/horrible-histories---the-board-game\">Horrible Histories: The Board Game<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. Get that popcorn popping and settle in for an all-day movie marathon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Nothing like a jigsaw puzzle to get bickering siblings to work together! For an extra challenge, mix up the pieces of two different jigsaws and do them both at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. One word: karaoke. Okay, a few more words: play a karaoke game on a games console if you have one. If not, just load some karaoke videos on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Quit clowning around! Grab some satsumas, find a tutorial video online, and learn how to juggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6. Play cards. Teach your kids one of your favourite games from your childhood. No cheating!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/2pjspMQCi70k\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"the Grinch smiling\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Active <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7. Plan an indoor scavenger hunt&#8230; or an outdoor one in a local park, if you get lucky with the weather!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8. Move all that pesky furniture out of the way, turn up the speakers, and transform your lounge into a disco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9. Stretch, dance, move! Find a YouTube exercise or choreography video and get everyone to join in, especially Dad, who could really use the dance lesson&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10. Go for a daily walk. Make it a \u2018nature walk\u2019 by collecting pinecones, twigs, and other found objects to make crafts when you get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11. Set up an obstacle course in the house. Time how long it takes each person to complete it. Do it again and again and again, aiming for a personal best\u2026 Whew, getting dizzy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">12. All you need is a piece of paper (for recordkeeping) and a stopwatch to set up the ultimate fitness challenge: How many pushups can your kids do in a minute? How many sit-ups? How many jumping jacks? They\u2019ll sleep well tonight&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">13. Bundle up in your warmest winter coat, grab a bin bag and some gloves, and embark on a neighbourhood litter pick-up. Turn it into a competition: who can find the most plastic bottles? Or a scavenger hunt: the first person to find three crisp packets, four fizzy drinks cans, and seven plastic bottles is the winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:6px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chill Out<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">14. Print some free colouring sheets from the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">15. Build a cosy fort with pillows, cushions, duvets, chairs, cardboard boxes\u2026 anything goes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">16. Alleviate some of that holiday stress with an at-home, DIY spa break. Face masks, bath bombs, foot massages\u2026 Ahhh\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">17. Okay, so this one requires some planning ahead: visit the library before everything shuts for Christmas and have the kids pick out some books. Hide the books away until after Christmas and then host your own little literary festival!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:13px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educational Stuff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">18. Do some science experiments. Look up some DIY ones online, or try the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/little-labs-the-human-body-science-kit\">Human Body Science Kit<\/a>, which contains everything you need for 26 different experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">19. Learn some magic. Find tutorials online or try <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/marvins-magic-box-of-125-tricks\"><strong>Marvin\u2019s Magic Box of Tricks<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20. Host your own quiz show. Find questions and answers online. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/this-or-that-guessing-game\">This or That?<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/weird-things-humans-search-for\"> <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/childrens-presents\/fanzone\">Electronic Football Quiz Game &#8211; Fanzone<\/a> are also good options!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creative Activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">21. Have everyone do an assigned art project. Self-portraits? A still-life? Display the finished products in a \u201cgallery\u201d on the refrigerator or a wall. Ooh la la!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">22. Write a play as a family, assign roles, dress up in costume, and put on your own West End-worthy show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">23. And if you\u2019re brave enough to hand over control of your phone to your kids, you could also have them shoot and edit their very own film\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">24. Find some scrap paper and learn some simple origami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">25. Do a photoshoot and then use editing software to transform the normal photos into silly ones!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">26. Dig out some newspapers and magazines from the recycling bin, get the scissors, and make some gorgeous (or hilarious) collages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">27. Rummage through the wardrobes and put on a fashion show. Work it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/3kruPvGDcRnY6hmzp0\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"fashionable cat wearing a ruffle\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For Foodies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">28. If you\u2019re still working your way through those boring Christmas leftovers, change up the scenery with an indoor picnic. It\u2019s amazing how a blanket and the presence of a hamper can make even the driest turkey taste a little better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">29. Plan a three-course meal using recipes from the internet or a cookbook. Put the kids to work in the kitchen, have someone with good penmanship make menus, and set the table so that it looks like a posh restaurant!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">30.No need to order pricey takeaway pizza when you can make your own. Turn your kitchen into an Italian pizzeria\u2026 But forget authenticity! The more creative the toppings, the more fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:8px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seasonal Stuff<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">31. Make DIY thank-you cards for all the friends and relatives who gave you Christmas gifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">32. Out with the old, in with the new! Go through the house and toss all the toys, clothes, and other stuff you don\u2019t need into boxes to be sold online or donated to a charity shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">33. Set intentions. Have everyone make lists of things they want to do, see, and try next year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">34. Create your own crafty New Year\u2019s decorations. Think hats, confetti, and glittery banners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">35. Facetime with any friends or family members who weren\u2019t able to make it to Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">36. Start planning your summer holiday together &#8211; warmer weather and longer days will be here before you know it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/H1MIXmcISIsxUkeHoY\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"swimming pool\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For more wicked activities to entertain the kids, check out the toys and games on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/popular\">our website<\/a>!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">What do you say to a cow on December 31? <strong>Happy Moo Year!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button aligncenter\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background no-border-radius wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/jokes\/\" style=\"background-color:#18aa1d\">WICKED UNCLE JOKE FACTORY<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Christmas down!
