Fun Things to do with Kids This Weekend in Sydney

Fun Things to do with Kids This Weekend in Sydney


By Sam Bowden

Looking for fun things to do with kids this weekend in Sydney? With schools re-opening and the city slowly-but-surely resuming its regular scheduled programming, looking for kids activities to enjoy on the weekend is returning to being the norm. As parks and sports venues start opening back up, the popular haunts for kids activities will be able to be utilised to keep the little ones active and engaged. 

If you’re still unsure and looking for fun activities for kids that don’t potentially compromise their health, ClassBento has a variety of suggestions and alternatives for you and the kids to enjoy this weekend!


Kids activities to indulge in at home

Got the weekend off? We have plenty of arts and crafts for kids that the whole family can enjoy from the comfort of your own home. With social distancing laws relaxing, you can even invite some friends around and enjoy them all together. Sydney doesn’t just have an array of unique experiences for children to savour outside of the house, but thanks to our LiveBox delivery service, there’s plenty of crafts for kids for them to sink their teeth into at home! 

Local Sydney-based artisan Pamela Woods specifically designs her crafts for kids to be enjoyed by parents and kids together! She has a variety of online classes for kids to enjoy this weekend, and parents are encouraged to join in. Whether it’s building a Koinobori fish or constructing a fairy garden using a variety of materials, Pamela’s arts and crafts for kids are a fantastic choice when looking for quirky weekend activities Sydney offers.

Although our online classes for kids are perfect on their own, it can be fun to make a day of it! With most of our arts and craft classes for kids running for less than 90 minutes (children have short attention spans as we’re sure you’re aware), it can be hard to make a full day of the workshop, itself. However, designing a fun family day in around our LiveBox classes can really make your kids activities last all day! 

It doesn’t all have to be hyperactivity and imagination; top and tail it with some other fun kids activities you can enjoy together. Making a fairy garden at lunchtime? Spend the morning discovering potential inspiration for what the little ones might like to create! One of the benefits of the Make Your Own Fairy Garden workshop is how creatively versatile they are, so never hesitate to spend the time beforehand searching for materials and sources that’ll really kick the imagination into overdrive and let you get the most out of one of the best online classes for kids! 

One of our workshop attendees spent the morning teaching their little ones how to make pancakes before all enjoying the afternoon in our Watercolours For Absolute Beginners class! 

It doesn’t matter how you do it, but doing some “family team-building” can transform your arts and crafts for kids into a whole day the family can enjoy!


Indoor activities for kids

Whether it’s at your house or indoors somewhere else in Sydney, it always helps to have a few rainy day activities up your sleeve when the weather decides to put a dent in your plans! With so many rainy day activities for kids to enjoy, there’s plenty of choices to let them soak up the rain in a pair of brand new gumboots! 

With businesses starting to reopen and life returning to normal following the first wave of the pandemic, it can be important to not be too cavalier when it comes to chasing down craft ideas for kids. Small group workshops have started opening up that take the necessary steps to ensure the health and safety of all its participants, regardless of age. 

Wacky Workshops out in Penrith hold some of the most colourful arts and craft classes for kids in Sydney and will be resuming business as usual very shortly. Wacky Workshops founder Tami has over twenty years of experience teaching art therapy to disadvantaged and children living with disability, and knows all about how to create an inclusive and accepting environment for kids activities to reach their fullest potential. Her Kids Paper Craft Workshop is ideal if you’re chasing fun activities for kids in Sydney, and a great way for them to explore their creativity in a safe and inclusive environment.

If Penrith is a little far out and you’re chasing down crafts for kids that are more central, never fear. Pom Pom Craft For Kids in Cammeray is a fun and hands-on workshop that’s ideal for kids activities for very little kids. A fun and creative two-hour workshop, this is one of the best arts and craft classes for kids looking to create unique and playful characters. Maker’s Loft also runs a variety of workshops and kids activities to choose from, so never hesitate to contact them and find what other unique art classes for kids they have available.

With such a range of kids activities and workshops available in Sydney, it isn’t too hard to find one that suits both your schedule and the interests of your little ones. One of our most popular things to do with kids in Sydney is our Box Monster Making For Kids! Sydney artist Lizziebeth Keating can show your little ones (between five and ten years old) how to build their very own monster out of boxes and paper! With a location in Padstow, as well as offering to travel up to 48km to your location, this is one of the best kids activities for birthday parties. Not only this, but this is one of the best art classes for kids and parents to get involved in.

 

Whatever you choose, ClassBento has a range of kids activities in Sydney for you to enjoy. Whether you’re looking for art classes for kids at home or hoping to enjoy a workshop with them out of the house, ClassBento has a whole host of experiences with some of the best things to do with kids in Sydney.
