Keeping children entertained for a long time can be a challenging task, especially when the parents are busy with work duties. During this time, it is important to direct their attention and energy towards recreational and fun activities rather than letting them sit in front of screens for long periods. Finding new games that can keep them occupied for hours without adversely affecting their brain is crucial. Here are a few such toys that can achieve this goal.

A marble maze set
Along with some marbles, the maze set includes colorful building structures, such as pipes, tubes, funnels, and more. The goal is to construct a track with obstacles for the marble to roll through and complete a path. Allowing children to play with this set not only keeps them engaged for hours but also develops their problem-solving abilities. Furthermore, when they successfully build a track or structure, they will feel a sense of accomplishment and pure joy.

A necklace activity set
A necklace-building set is a fun crafting activity for the kids. The set contains several beads and pieces to create their own unique necklaces. If a parent gifts it to their child and asks them to make a necklace, the child will likely put their heart and skills into making a cute necklace for their parent. This activity set is guaranteed to keep them busy for hours. Additionally, if the set is associated with any of their favorite films or cartoon shows, it will only make them happier.

A racetrack set
Children really enjoy playing with toy cars. Adding a racetrack set to their toy collection brings an extra level of thrill and excitement. The set comes in separate pieces that need to be assembled, allowing kids to spend hours constructing their ideal racetrack with their imagination. Once the track is completely built, children can have fun racing their toy cars repeatedly, providing them with entertainment for a long time.

A building blocks set
If the kids are playing with toy sets that are not only enjoyable to them but also help develop their skills, it is a win-win situation. One such toy set that parents can consider buying for their kids is a building block set. Kids will love using the blocks to build a house, a city, or any other structure that they can imagine. These blocks often come in bright and interesting colors, shapes, and sizes and in a variety of themes, adding to their appeal. However, there are so many possible structures that can be built with these blocks that it is guaranteed to keep the kids occupied for hours. And, just like the necklace set, if the building blocks set is associated with the kids’ favorite movies or cartoons, they will love it even more.

A fort-building kit
Building blanket forts and pillow forts has always been a fun activity for kids. However, if the parents want to keep their home organized, this activity may not be as much fun for them. In such cases, parents can buy their kids a fort-building kit. This kit comes with numerous rods and spheres (safe for kids) that can be assembled to build a kid-sized fort at home. Moreover, there are various possible combinations that they can try to create a fort. These sets are also available in glow-in-the-dark variants, which can add to the kids’ enjoyment.

Modeling clay sets
Children have an incredible ability to create limitless imaginative worlds and structures in their minds. To express and showcase their imagination, a modeling clay set can be of great help. This kit can allow kids to explore their creativity and develop a sense of shapes and structures. Through this fun activity, children can also learn to focus and concentrate better on the tasks given at hand, helping them in their educational and professional journey. 

A walkie-talkie set
A walkie-talkie set can provide a great opportunity for kids to embark on adventures of their own. With creative role plays, children can transform playing with walkie-talkies into a really fun activity. Furthermore, this activity can allow them to connect and interact with other kids and even adults, which can help improve their social and communication skills.
