If you’re anything like us, you’ve probably spent a lot of time being bored over the last few months. Since we’re all at home a lot more than usual, it’s been easy to fall into routines that aren’t exactly exciting. But just because we’re at home, it doesn’t mean we should be bored of daily life! Check out these six fun ways to make any day a little more magical.
1. Involve the whole family in a make believe night of theater!
Grab your crowns and your dragon wings and turn the house into your very own magical stage. The kids—as well as the adults!—need to participate in this special night, as you all come together, think of a story, and act it out as if you were on Broadway itself. For added fun, designate one of the crew to film everything on a phone to share on social media!
2. Have a fun family photo shoot.
What better way to capture the memories of this time than to set up a family photo shoot? You can build your own backgrounds, have funny props, and just let go! Use your phone camera’s timed option for pictures, pose, and done. You can make these as serious or as silly as you want. And be sure to print out the most magical shots to frame and put up!
3. Fill your day with magic!
With Lucky Charms cereal, this will be easy! Everyone knows the best part of Lucky Charms are the marshmallows (you know you save those to the end!), so with a limited-edition pack of Lucky Charms Just Magical Marshmallows, any time could be magic time.
4. Build a bedtime reading fort!
Get ready for reading magic fun! Make a fort or use a play tent you already have, put up some fairy lights (otherwise known as holiday lights), pillows, cozy blankets, forget the world and read! Let the kids read their favorite bedtime books and alternate with a book that you choose. It will be your new magical nightly tradition.
5. Have a family slumber party.
It’s a party! For this family slumber party, sleep in the yard in a camping tent, set up the living room as a cozy retreat, hit the den and watch movies before falling asleep on the floor–just have your magical slumber party anywhere but the bedrooms!
6. Eat dessert before dinner!
Is there anything more magically mischievous than having the sweet stuff before dinner? Nah! That’s why for today, you and your family should just let go and indulge in the dessert before the big meal.
