Screen-Free Activities for Kids at Home: Ideas Parents Can Order Online

Looking for screen-free activities for kids at home? A hands-on project can give children something enjoyable to build, make or explore—and give parents a simple idea ready for a weekend, rainy afternoon or school holiday.

Built By Kidz Activities is a family-owned Australian business with woodwork, craft and STEM kits available through our online store. Choose an activity to suit your child’s interests, order online and make time to create together.

1. Build something with a kids’ woodwork kit

For children who like to make things, a woodwork kit gives them a project to build and decorate. Choose from options such as a toolbox, slide box or trinket box, then let your child add their own creative touches.

Our woodwork projects are designed for children aged 5 to 12 and made in Sydney. The pieces are prepared for assembly, with instructions included. An adult needs to supervise the activity, especially whenever a hammer is being used.

Browse our kids’ woodwork kits⁠ to find a project for home. For siblings or friends, the Woodwork Activity Box for two⁠ includes two of the selected project.

2. Get creative with an art or craft activity

Some children love painting, decorating and making something colourful. A craft kit can be a good choice when you want a screen-free activity for kids that let them explore their own ideas at their own pace.

Browse the online shop⁠ to see the current craft options. Check each product page for its recommended age and what’s included, as kit contents vary.

3. Try a hands-on STEM project

For curious kids, a STEM activity can turn an afternoon at home into an opportunity to experiment, build or discover how something works. Look through the current STEM kits and choose one that matches your child’s age and interests.

How to choose the right activity kit

Before ordering, think about:

• Your child’s interests: building, art, craft or science.
• The age guidance: check the product listing before you buy.
• Who will join in: some kits are designed for one child, while others include projects for more.
• What’s included: check whether you need any extra materials or tools.
• The time and space available: choose an activity that fits the time you have and the space where you’ll set up.

A kit can make it easier to get started, but the best part is often doing it together—following the steps, choosing colours and seeing what your child creates.
