25 Indoor Activities For Kids Sure to Cure Cabin Fever

Puppet shows provide opportunities for imaginative play, collaboration, and creativity. You can use blankets to set up a stage or have kids go behind a couch or chair. Plenty of readymade puppets, like Melissa & Doug Safari Buddies Hand Puppets ($22, originally $38), are available. However, making your own out of paper bags or tube socks gives kids another way to flex their creative muscles. Puppet theater can engage various ages, from infants delighting in their parents' antics to big kids with similarly large imaginations.
