By Jiezl Cruz, Macaroni Kid Publisher Calvert & St. Mary's MD June 13, 2024

After a busy and chaotic week, you just want to spend time with your kids...but quietly! I get it. Most parents need that down time and it can always be done even with kids around. How, you ask? There are plenty of activities a family can do together while keeping the noise level to a minimum...and here are some suggestions:

  • Coloring together 
  • Do a family-time word search with some of our FREE word search printables; you can find them down    at the bottom of this article.
  • Follow along / listen together to an audiobook that everyone can enjoy - I highly recommend something with a little bit of mystical adventure for the family!
  • Simple DIY crafts - something you all can finish during the evening, like making bracelets.
  • Put together a scrapbook page or two as a family.

Really the possibilities are endless. What are some ways you have enjoyed quiet-time with your kids? I'd love to hear about it! Send me an email and I will share it on my next parenting article!
