Cozy Weekends: Fun Activities for Bonding & Relaxing at Home

Savoring each moment with your little ones is important. With the blink of an eye, another school year starts and you wonder how quickly their summer vacation or semester breaks flew by. We'll share a collection of delightful and fun activities to do at home, because making memories does not have to be costly! From indoor camping adventures to family baking sessions, we've got you covered. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, snuggle up with your loved ones, and get ready to discover new ways to bond and create unforgettable moments right at home. 

Watching Movies Together

Nothing beats partaking in activities your children love, but that also allows you to wind down, like watching a movie together. Pick a family favorite or discover a new film together. Gather all the comfy pillows you can find and snuggle under a soft blanket while enjoying an evening of laughter and entertainment. 

Family Game Nights 

A family game night is another fantastic way to bond with your kids. Bring out your favorite board game, cards, and even video games that everyone can enjoy. If you don't have these, you can always use phones to play games like Heads Up! and Kahoot! Set up a cozy gaming area with comfortable seating and snacks, then take turns choosing which game to play. Things might get competitive, though! At the end of the day, everyone learns sportsmanship and teamwork. 

Get Artsy!

For a more creative bonding experience, consider setting up an at-home art studio. Gather art supplies like paper, paints, crayons, and colored pencils, then designate a space where you can all create masterpieces side by side. You can work on individual projects or collaborate on a larger piece representing your family. This activity allows you and your kids to express yourselves artistically while spending quality time together. Don't forget to layer newspaper or white cloth over your furniture. The stains might be hard to remove afterward!

Fun in the Kitchen

Baking together is a delightful way to bond with your kids while creating delicious treats. Choose a simple recipe that everyone can participate in, such as cookies, brownies, or cupcakes. Gather all the necessary ingredients and tools, then work together to measure, mix, and bake your sweet creations. Not only will you enjoy making something together, but your kids will also love the sense of accomplishment when they see and taste the final product.

Building Cozy Forts

Transform your living room into a magical indoor camping adventure. With just a few blankets, pillows, and fairy lights, you can create a cozy fort where you and your kids can share stories, play games, and even enjoy an indoor picnic. 

With these fun yet simple activities, everyone can relax, build closer relationships with one another, and enjoy. You can always elevate everyone's comfort by using cooling bamboo linens, soft, airy, and light pillows when building forts, and weighted blankets when everyone's ready to wind down.

Explore our wide range of premium bamboo linens, plush beddings, pillows, and more. We hope to help you in relishing these once-in-a-lifetime moments, and to slow down once in a while.
