Indoor jungle gyms are great for indoor activities which will help to strengthen the bones and muscles of children.Only problem is you need bigger area. Indoor swings and video games is also good for toddlers to make them busy during quarantine.

It's great to see that you're actively seeking creative ways to keep your kids active and engaged indoors during these challenging times! Here's a list of some indoor activities and items that could be helpful for families, regardless of their living space or budget:

1. **Indoor Obstacle Course**: Create a fun and challenging obstacle course using pillows, furniture, and other safe household items. It's a great way to get the kids moving and using their creativity.

2. **Dance Party**: Turn up the music and have a family dance party. You don't need any special equipment for this, and it's a fantastic way to burn energy.

3. **Mini Trampoline**: If you have the space, a mini trampoline can be an excellent investment for active play indoors.

4. **Indoor Climbing Wall**: For older kids, you can install an indoor climbing wall or hang climbing holds on a sturdy door frame.

5. **Yoga or Exercise Cards**: There are cards available with various yoga poses and exercises designed for kids. They make physical activity fun and educational.

6. **Indoor Basketball Hoop**: Over-the-door basketball hoops can provide hours of entertainment for kids who love sports.

7. **Indoor Bowling Set**: A soft, foam bowling set is safe for indoor play and can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.

8. **Hula Hoops**: Indoor-friendly hula hoops are a great way to keep kids moving and improve their coordination.

9. **Balance Boards**: These can help with balance and coordination and are great for active play.

10. **DIY Sensory Bins**: Create sensory bins filled with items like rice, beans, or water beads. Kids can use their hands to explore and play.

11. **Interactive Video Games**: Some video game systems offer games that encourage physical activity, making screen time more active.

12. **Karate or Dance Classes**: Many instructors are offering online classes, so your kids can learn new skills while staying active.

13. **Indoor Scavenger Hunts**: Create a scavenger hunt with clues to keep your kids moving around the house.

14. **Yoga for Kids**: Follow along with kids' yoga videos or apps to help them relax and stay active.

15. **DIY Crafts and Art Projects**: Crafting can be a creative and active way to spend time indoors.

Remember to adapt these activities to your kids' age and interests. Encouraging them to be active indoors can help maintain their physical health and provide some much-needed entertainment during the lockdown. Feel free to leave a comment below if you have any specific items or activities that your family has enjoyed. Sharing your experiences can be helpful for other families seeking indoor fun! 😊🏡🏃‍♂️🎨
