How to Keep Creativity Flowing for Bored Kids Stuck at Home

Whether adjusting to lockdown or sheltering from winter weather, parents around Australia are working overtime to keep kids engaged and excited indoors without excessive screen time.

At the same time, spare a thought for bored kids or those returning to remote learning without the prospect of lunchtime fun with friends to get them through the day.  

While social isolation can be challenging for kids taken out of routine, recent research from creative tech company Cricut indicates that almost 92% of Aussie parents believe creative activities have noticeable benefits for child mental health and wellbeing. 

Cricut smart cutting machines are the ideal companion for creative families looking to explore their imagination through craft and play. We’ve assembled some fun and creative Cricut projects that will challenge, intrigue and engage kids who are stuck indoors this winter.
