----

In the wondrous journey of parenthood, building a strong bond with your children is a cherished aspiration. Beyond the role of caregiver and guide, there lies an exciting path to becoming your kids’ ultimate confidant and best friend. From imaginative play to collaborative projects, together we’ll explore the terrain where parenting and friendship intertwine, making every moment a chance to nurture a connection that stands the test of time.

1. Build a refreshing pool

Things you’ll need :

4 folding camping tables
A rope
Tarpaulin
A hose

How to do it:

Put the tables vertically on the floor, making a square or rectangle qith them
Tie them together with the rope
Put the tarpaulin on the tables, covering the center and sides, to create a pool
Fill the pool with water, using the hose

With this pool, you can enjoy a playful day with your kids, outdoors.

2. Teach them to easily tie their laces

Tie a loose knot on each side
Insert the lower part that was left loose on the right side, inside the knot on the left side
Do the same with the other side
Stretch the ends to tie the knot

This type of mooring can be moved. That way, your kids can loosen or tighten it by pulling on the knots or the ends.

3. Build a seesaw for your yard

Things you’ll need:

An old car tire
A wide wooden crosspiece
A drill and screws
Spray paint
A hacksaw

How to build it:

Cut the tire in half, using the hacksaw
Paint one half of the tire with the spray paint
Using the drill and screws, attach two wooden pieces to the crosspiece, perpendicularly. Distance between them should be the width of the tire.
Insert the bottoms of the tire in the wooden pieces you just attached
Secure the tire to the wooden piece with screws

Finally, flip the piece so that the tire is on the ground. You’ll have a nice and fun seesaw for your kids to have a blast.

4. Keep them safe

If you don’t have outlet plug covers, you can keep your kids away from the plugs, just placing a bandaid on the plug, to cover it.

5. Make bath time fun

Make bath time a lot more fun and safe, by keeping your baby’s toys close. Put a plastic basket with holes inside the bathtub when it’s full of water. Then, have your kid go inside the basket along with their toys inside.

6. Block pointy furniture

So that your children do not bump into the corners of tables or other furniture, you can use a 3D pen to cover those corners. Draw cute figures in the corners of your furniture to make them look pretty.
