With so many different hobbies out there for your child to try there could be all sorts of
options out there. Leaning on what your child is already interested in you can explore some
new hobbies that improve their confidence and development into real passions. Here are 5
you could try with your child that this independent day school recommends.
1. Hand Painted Art
This is where your child can decide to paint on a ceramic piece, a canvas, or some paper or
card depending on what materials they want to use. What is important is letting your child
have the space to make whatever they like with their paints and brushes. Your child may
really love painting and making, which is a great place to build a hobby they pick up on a
regular basis.
2. Embroidery
A classic with young people is embroidery, as you can make it as easy or as difficult as you
like. It’s a good chance to explore different ways of sewing or making creations as and when
you have free time. It’s something you can easily pick up each week, and even if you have 5
spare minutes your child can make some progress.
3. Reading
At a young age, children are imaginative and creative. Reading comic books or graphic novels as a hobby encourages creativity and promotes mental stimulation among young minds. More importantly, it can also develop a child's ability to empathize and socialize with their peers.
You can jumpstart your children's reading habits by searching online comic book stores for appropriate comics.
4. Bowling
Most of the time we play bowling with friends and family, but it can also be a real passion for
many people. If your child really enjoys bowling then you could both look for activity clubs or
groups that meet up on a regular basis. It’s very unique, and offers a lot of fun for children to
try out each week if they’re keen to pursue it as a hobby.
5. Collecting stamps
With any kind of collecting there can be a real craze behind it. Stamps come in all sorts of
styles and even release limited edition ones, which can make the collecting all the more
exciting. Have your child look into a range of stamps you can collect with others, and take a
look into collecting events where stamps could be potentially traded.
6. Gardening
To really improve a child’s fine motor skills, experience with the outdoors and a child’s
understanding of different smells, textures and sights, your child could try your hand at
gardening. It’s a good way of seeing your child’s appreciation for the outside world and also
to see the benefits of growing plants in your garden. Kids will love watching their plants grow
and see the success in them, as well as learning how to maintain them.
