Trying to find fun and new ways to keep kids occupied can be a lot of hard work for parents. Many times, parents want to find ways to "drain" kids of their extra energy by doing some activities that require moving and shaking.
Trying to find fun and new ways to keep kids occupied can be a lot of hard work for parents. Many times, parents want to find ways to "drain" kids of their extra energy by doing some activities that require moving and shaking.
Many families don't have big backyards or huge spaces to let kids run loose and drain all of that extra excitement so they can simmer down.
If anyone knows how to drain their kids and get them rid of all that loud, crazy energy — it's other parents.
Many parents on TikTok share a ton of DIY projects and hacks that any parent can try with their little ones.
On her TikTok page, @handsonfamily, one mom shared the fun and easy hack to making an indoor activity that's perfect for kids.
And, judging by how much her kids seem to enjoy this, it's something you're totally going to want to try at home.
You can blow them up with your mouth or, if you have an air pump in the garage, you may want to grab that to make this a bit easier.
Many families use space-saver vacuum-sealed bags to store clothing and other items that are not used all year round. You can use them for this project, too! Just pop the balloons in the bags and then suck out the excess air.
And, the balloons don't pop because of the vacuum-sealed bags they are placed in. So, it's a win-win for parents!
Some said on the TikTok video that they were "scared" and concerned the balloons would pop. But, the mom said they don't!
Some commenters shared it could totally be used as an air mattress if you are ever camping or having friends spend the night.
One TikTok user said she's 19-years-old and wants to do it herself. Who says there's an age limit on bouncy beds?
Checking out their Instagram page, the family shares tons of DIY projects for kids. Like, this cardboard tablet for visual and motor integration.
Like a foosball table, this is easily made with a cardboard box from Amazon, some paint, and tape. And, it looks tons of fun for the kids.
You can check out more of this family's DIY projects on their TikTok or their Instagram pages.
How neat!
