Board games, jigsaw puzzles, and reading time are quiet classics that work across a wide range of ages. Pulling a few favorites out of the cupboard often turns into hours of relaxed time together.
Backyard or balcony activities like planting a few seeds, drawing with chalk, or building a small fort with cushions keep younger children happily occupied with very little setup.
