BRING THE FAIR HOME FOR THE RELEASE!
Written by Carrefour Rimouski | February 20, 2023
Running out of ideas for entertaining the little ones this year during spring break? Don’t panic, we’ve got you covered! To help you make the most of this week off, we have put together a list of 5 activities to brighten up your days. Let yourself be inspired by our ideas for easy activities and bring the funfair to your home!
1. BRING OUT YOUR ARTISTIC SIDE
Get out the scissors, hot glue and pens: it’s arts and crafts time! And we’re not talking about simply cutting out colored cardboard, no no. Here is a tutorial to make a great game of “Chamboule tout” (literally “turn everything upside down”). Make your own “Chamboule-tout”: cans, a few sheets of card, some glue, two or three pens and you’re done.fr/activites-enfants/bricolages/47041-chamboule-tout-avec-des-boites-de-conserve/” target=”_blank”>Link to the craft activity

2. EXPLORE YOUR CULINARY TALENTS
What could be more tempting than the sweets on offer at the funfair? Today, we invite you to get your hands dirty with your little ones and enjoy some delicious taffy apples together. Great memories and lots of fun to be shared!

3. OUTDOOR FUN WITH A DIFFERENCE
The weather may not always be good during the spring break, but that’s no reason to stay indoors all week! If the weather permits, why not take the opportunity to take on challenges and compete outdoors?
Use food coloring to draw circles and squares in the snow. Invite your children to hit them with snowballs. For a variation, you can also have them throw snowballs as high as possible at a tree trunk. Finally, it doesn’t take much to have non-stop fun!

4. TRAVEL THROUGH BOOKS AND GAMES
Sharing a story or a moment of play with one’s parents often remains one of the most beautiful memories of childhood. We have put together a selection of games that will transport you directly to the funfair!
5. ORGANIZE A DAY OF MOVIES AT HOME
Take advantage of the last day of spring break to relax completely before getting back into the swing of things. What could be better than watching a movie with the family from the comfort of your living room? To create a “movie theater” atmosphere, here is our advice:
- Create or print tickets, the little ones will enjoy the game.
- Prepare butter or caramel popcorn for the braver ones.
- Set up a comfortable place with blankets, cushions and soft lighting.
- Choose a movie that everyone will like. To be transported to the world of funfairs, rides and treats, we recommend: Le Parc des Merveilles, the updated version of Dumbo or even Histoire de jouets 4.

6. MAKEUP AND COSTUME, THE RECIPE FOR HAPPINESS
Who said that dressing up was only for Halloween? Get out the paintbrushes, make-up, the most improbable accessories and the most beautiful costumes and let your creativity run wild!
Just a heads up, it’s highly likely that some dads will find themselves dressed up as a unicorn or a snow queen…
