Hobbies and Activities for Children

By Mabel Van Niekerk

Have you ever tried to keep a couple of children busy during school vacation or on weekends when they’re in the “I’m bored” mode? What ever you might suggest is shot down, and they just get under your feet and don’t feel like going out to play. Then this is the time to introduce them to a new hobby.
An interesting hobby will help children learn different skills, as well as keep them entertained for hours. It might even help them stay away from a bad peer group and stay out of trouble.
