Weekend activities for Children – 19, 20 March

Exams are almost over. Children are at home, as there is still some time before the new session begins.  During these interim holidays, engaging children in constructive activities is a challenge every parent faces. It is still relatively easy to keep them engaged during weekdays, as there is a routine to follow. But weekends are a different matter altogether. Children want an outing with their parents. However, they don’t want to go to malls or parks. So then what to do? Here’s how Parentune steps in to the aid of parents, bringing smiles for children of all age groups. Parentune brings you the list of weekend activities for your child ranging from creative writing to a cycling trek to a fort.  What are you waiting for – just pick the activity that suits you and gear up for an exciting weekend.
