Introduction
In today’s digital world, most kids spend weekends glued to screens — watching cartoons, playing games, or scrolling endlessly. But imagine replacing that screen time with fresh air, muddy hands, and real fun!
A farmhouse offers the perfect environment for children to reconnect with nature, learn new things, and build memories that last a lifetime. Whether you own a 2, 4, or 6 kanal farmhouse, there are plenty of fun and creative ways to keep kids engaged.
Here are the top 5 weekend activities for kids at your farmhouse that are fun, healthy, and family-approved.
1. Gardening – Let Them Dig, Plant & Grow
Gardening is more than just a hobby — it’s a lesson in patience, responsibility, and care. Kids love getting their hands dirty, and a farmhouse garden is the perfect spot for it.
What They Can Do:
Plant seeds of tomatoes, mint, sunflowers, or marigolds
Water the plants using small watering cans
Learn the names of flowers, herbs, and vegetables
Decorate pots with paint and stickers
Benefits:
Builds patience and focus
Encourages healthy eating habits
Teaches environmental awareness
Even if it’s a small corner of your farmhouse, turn it into a “kids’ garden zone.” You’ll be surprised how seriously they take it!
2. Animal Time – Feed, Pet & Care
If your farmhouse has chickens, goats, rabbits, or even ducks, let your kids interact with them in a safe way. Kids naturally love animals, and being around them builds empathy and confidence.
Activities to Try:
Feeding chickens or collecting eggs
Watching goats or cows being milked
Naming and drawing animals they see
Setting up a mini petting corner with supervision
Benefits:
Builds emotional intelligence
Teaches care and kindness
Keeps them away from screens and busy with real-life experiences
No animals? No problem! Even watching butterflies or spotting birds can be a great learning opportunity.
3. Stargazing – Explore the Night Sky
One of the biggest perks of owning a farmhouse away from the city is the clear, star-filled sky at night — no city lights to block the view. Turn your backyard into a weekend observatory!
What You’ll Need:
A clean mat or sleeping bag
A mobile stargazing app (optional)
Binoculars or a beginner telescope
Some snacks and a light blanket
What They Can Do:
Count stars or spot the moon
Learn about constellations and planets
Watch for shooting stars or satellites
Tell stories under the stars
It’s a peaceful way to end a weekend, and your kids will look forward to it every time.
4. Farm Games & Sports – Run Free
A farmhouse offers wide open spaces that city homes simply can’t. Let your children run, play, and be wild — the way kids should!
Game Ideas:
Mini cricket or football matches
Hide and seek in the orchard
Sack races or tug-of-war with cousins
DIY treasure hunt with clues and small rewards
Why It’s Great:
Promotes physical fitness
Builds teamwork and social skills
Keeps kids away from screens and gadgets
Let them explore the land, get sweaty, and have fun. This is what weekends were meant for.
5. Outdoor Art & Creativity
Use nature as the canvas! Let kids take their creativity outdoors by drawing, painting, or crafting with natural materials.
Activities:
Leaf printing with paints
Rock painting
Making shapes with twigs and stones
Drawing the animals or plants they see
Set up a small art station with:
A table and chairs
Non-toxic paints and papers
Aprons and wipes for cleanup
It’s creative, calming, and they’ll proudly show off their weekend masterpieces.
Bonus Tip: Create a “Weekend Adventure List”
Make a simple list of 10–15 fun things and let your kids tick off one or two every weekend. Include:
“Plant a new flower”
“Feed the chickens”
“Sleep under the stars”
“Build a fort with cushions”
“Paint a stone and name it”
This turns each visit to the farmhouse into a mini adventure, and keeps your children excited and involved.
