Reorganise and Redecorate Bedrooms (With Their Help)
Convincing your child to clean their room is like getting them to eat their green vegetables – sometimes, impossible! But if the cleaning involves a little bit of “design” then it becomes more appealing and fun!
Make some suggestions on how the room could look more inviting and move a few objects around, while cleaning up the mess. They won’t realise it but it’s just your sneaky way of getting them to pick up their toys – and you never know, with the excitement of a new room to enjoy, they might keep it tidy for just that little bit longer!

You don’t even need a garden for this. Most of the fun comes from finding containers to recycle as pots, painting them, and planting the seeds. Choose something that grows fast so the kids can see them grow each day. Look at plastic soft drink containers to make a small indoor nursery.
Make an Indoor Garden with Recycled Soft Drink Bottles
Kids can really be experimental at times. Tickle their green thumb by letting them do this activity. This does not only let them love gardening, this also hones their recycling gene. Cut a plastic soft drink bottle into two parts, the one with the lid should be the one to be used as the main planting pot. The lower half of the bottle should then be the one that catches the excess water when you are watering the plants. Also, allow your kids to choose what to plant. Enjoy!
