I deliberately avoid using the term \u201cstaycation.\u201d I don\u2019t like it. It feels like a lame attempt to cover up the fact that my family\u2019s not going away on vacation (which we aren\u2019t) because it\u2019s too expensive (which it is). Am I so desperate to feel like I\u2019m part of the \u201cvacation\u201d scene that I\u2019ll use a made-up word that rhymes with it?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Vacations are great, no question, but if you\u2019re not travelling anywhere this spring, there are still ways to have fun with your kids while keeping the spending to a minimum.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IF YOU’RE AROUND HOME:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mix something up.<\/strong> Yes, it\u2019s messy, but having kids in the kitchen is positive in almost every other way. Choose a day with an open time frame so you don\u2019t feel rushed. Give them cookbooks (ideally, with pictures) to flip through and see what catches their eye. Start with a simple recipe, like cookies or muffins, or let them build their own smoothie<\/a><\/span>. They\u2019ll be proud of the final product and it may pave the way to trying a new food.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Unplug.<\/strong> Designate a day (or half a day, if that\u2019s more realistic for your household) that will be screen-free. Turn to old-school activities like toys, board games, colouring, crafts or Play-Doh. You can also let the kids brainstorm a theme, such as \u201cPajama Day\u201d where everyone stays in their PJs and eats breakfast foods at every meal.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Turn junk into a craft.<\/strong> Pull out your existing supplies for an open crafting session using odds and ends \u2013 you know, those random, leftover pieces from past projects or craft kits. Dive into your recycling bin for containers, bottles and boxes that can be turned into pencil holders, robots, Hot Wheels parking garages or Shopkins houses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Test a hypothesis.<\/strong> Not the crafty type? Maybe you\u2019d rather host a do-it-yourself science camp and lead your kids in some wacky experiments. Check out Science Bob<\/a><\/span>, Steve Spangler Science<\/a><\/span> or Science Kids<\/a><\/span> for ideas and instructions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tackle the toy bin.<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to be a KonMari master to know that it\u2019s satisfying to have everything organized and in its rightful place. This is a great opportunity to clean and declutter the playroom as a team \u2013 after all, your kids are likely the only ones who can confidently distinguish an LOL accessory from a LEGO one. Try a partitioned plastic container or empty egg carton to hold all the tiny pieces. You can also get a jump on spring cleaning by sorting items into categories such as Donate, Give Away, Sell Online and, if all else fails, Toss.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Embrace March Madness.<\/strong> Got a sports fan in the house? My kids don\u2019t follow basketball all year, but they go bonkers for the annual NCAA college basketball tournament. Print out a bracket<\/a><\/span> where your kids can predict the winning teams and track the scores. Set up an indoor or outdoor hoop so they can play along or make their own match-ups.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Test-drive an active video.<\/strong> Using a screen to help kids get active might sound like a stretch, but you\u2019ll be a believer once you try GoNoodle<\/a><\/span>, a free online library of high-energy movement videos. Its popularity is growing in schools, so your kids may already be familiar with the funky dances and goofy songs. If everyone needs to mellow out a bit, try Cosmic Kids Yoga<\/a><\/span>, where a bubbly British instructor named Jaime provides simple kid-friendly poses to match a theme, such as Pokemon, Frozen, Harry Potter and Star Wars.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IF YOU WANT TO BE OUT AND ABOUT:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take it outside.<\/strong> If your region still has snow on the ground, turn the kids loose for some unstructured winter play. If they\u2019ve been begging you for more play time on the snow hill after school, head over there to have the schoolyard all to yourselves. If the weather turns mild, dig out your bin of spring toys and spend some time re-connecting with balls, jump ropes, Frisbees and bubble wands.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Redeem gift cards.<\/strong> If you\u2019re like me, when you (or your child) receive a gift card, you immediately stash it away for safekeeping \u2013 and then forget about it entirely. This is the time to unearth gift cards that are only partially used or have been set aside since Christmas. Double-check all your best hiding spots (including that zippered section of your wallet that you rarely open) for some \u201cfound money\u201d to put toward movies, shopping, restaurants or ice cream.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Swim or skate. <\/strong>Check your local community centre\u2019s website to find out the public swimming and skating times. Certain time slots may be free of charge, while others require a small fee. Or, inquire at your nearest family fitness facility to see if they offer a complimentary one-week trial pass.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book it.<\/strong> Your local library is a great resource for age-appropriate activities and workshops. Look up their programs online, or take the kids in for a visit and inquire while you\u2019re browsing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Trade up.<\/strong> Book a playdate with friends or cousins and make it a toy or book swap (according to your child\u2019s comfort level, of course). Use your phone to take pictures of each child with the \u201cborrowed\u201d items, so everything can be properly returned later.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, even if you\u2019re not jetting away or hitting the road this spring, there is plenty of fun to be had close to home. Who needs a vacation, anyway?!<\/p>\n
