5 Free & Simple Ways to Make Your Child’s Day Magical

Family life is busy and chaotic, and there isn’t always time for big gestures of love each day. But tiny gestures we can do 🩷 Knowing that someone is thinking of you means the world, even if you’re only young (especially if you’re only young!).

Whether you’ve got toddlers or teens, here are five easy ways to make their day better, and they don’t cost a penny! 

1. Write a love note and leave it in their pocket or lunchbox 💕 

Nothing beats reading words of love from someone you love. If your child can’t read yet, try a simple picture message. An unexpected message of positivity can turn someone's day around, and will certainly bring a smile.

2. Make them breakfast in bed 🥞

What better way to start the day than with snuggles and a pancake breakfast in bed! Even a couple of slices of toast can feel like a special treat when it's served up with a duvet and blankets! 

3. Run them a candle lit bath 🕯️

An ordinary activity feels so much more special with candles! If your kids are too young to be safe around candles try a torch or a star projector ✨

4. Put fresh bedding on their bed 🛌

No one can resist the feeling of fresh clean bedding when they curl up at night. Bonus points for freshly washed pyjamas too 🩷 If it's chilly pop a hot water bottle under the covers for an even more special treat.

5. Hold hands 🤝

Physical contact increases oxytocin and makes humans feel good. That’s a win for both of you! 

Positive parenting at its finest (and most fun!).

These easy moments in your family’s day are sure to inspire their smiles ☺️ And there isn’t much better than that 🥹
