Setting up interesting activities for kids to enjoy is typically a big concern for most parents, as they want to find activities that are both pleasant and safe while simultaneously impart some skills.

Hence, it is no wonder parents will spend a substantial amount of money to ensure that their children activities meet these criteria. However, it doesn't all have to cost money. To show you how to make this happen, here are four ways to keep your kids entertained without spending money.

Keep your kids entertained without spending money

Children love play dates with friends.

1. Send them on a treasure hunt in the house

All children like to receive gifts and a treasure hunt is the perfect way to combine a game and the prospect of finding something exciting. It is easy to set up a scavenger hunt. All you need to do is write down clues for the children to follow in order to find the item at the end that you have hidden carefully.

You can use the scavenger hunt clues to sharpen some of your children’s skills such as problem solving or to teach them some new words through the clues. To ensure you don't spend any money, the treasure could be a home-baked treat, for example.

2. Set up a play date with a friend at your house

A play date is a great way to keep your kids while also getting some adult company for yourself. Inviting your children's friends over to your house will allow your kids to have fun with their peers while also helping them to develop their social skills.

Moreover, you can spend time with the parents of the kids, which is likely to be some welcome adult interaction.

3. Have them visit their grandparents

If your parents live close by, having your children spend time with them is a cost-free way to entertain them. Children love to hang out with their grandparents as they get to listen to interesting stories, get a lot of attention and eat tasty treats.

Your children can also learn important lessons, such as good money skills, from their grandparents.
