Home renovations make your living space feel like new again and can increase the property’s value. But, the projects aren’t much fun for children. While summer is the perfect season for remodeling, they’ll still need to be occupied. If renovations are on the horizon, you can make them easier for your family. 

How Can I Keep My Kids Entertained During Home Renovations? 

1. Plan Ahead 

Summer is the best season for home renovations. You can take the kids on vacation or stay with relatives for a few days. Since the weather is so beautiful, the kids can lounge poolside and have meals in the backyard. Scheduling with contractors is also easier because there aren’t many holidays to work around. 

2. Utilize Space 

If going on vacation isn’t feasible, make the project part of the fun. Set up a tent in an area of the house and make it feel like camping. Add their favorite toys, a beanbag chair, some snacks, and an electronic device or two (include noise-canceling headphones). They’ll entertain themselves for hours. 

Set up a campsite in the backyard for a more realistic feel. Portable fire pits are inexpensive, add to the experience, and allow the children to make s’mores. 

3. Get Creative 

Many homeowners opt for an open floor plan when renovating. It makes the house feel larger and increases its overall value. Since open floor plans will require a wall or two to come down, use them for fun. Hand the children some crayons and markers and let them draw all over the walls marked for demolition. 

4. Other Activities 

Use the home renovation as an opportunity to take the children to the library. It’s an air-conditioned space where they can keep their minds sharp over the summer. Many libraries also offer guest storytellers, who will help pass the time and keep the children entertained. You can also check out some local bookstores. To attract more customers, many have cafes serving snacks, milk, and coffee, and offering comfortable couches to lounge on. 

Home renovations—especially during the summer—also provide the chance to go to parks, on hikes, and exercise on bikes. 

On hotter days, there are many community pools available in the North Canton area, including one that’s overseen by the YMCA.
