Welcome back to Pixie Dusted Party, where we sprinkle a little magic into everyday moments! While summer often means outdoor water adventures, sometimes the Arizona weather—or just a need for a change—calls for fun indoor activities. Here’s a sprinkle of pixie dust with creative and engaging indoor activities that will keep your little ones entertained all summer long!
1. DIY Indoor Obstacle Course
Transform your living room into an exciting obstacle course. Use cushions, blankets, chairs, and toys to create a challenging path. Encourage kids to jump, crawl, and balance their way through. Time each run and watch as they try to beat their own records!
What You'll Need:
- Cushions and pillows
- Blankets
- Chairs
- Toys (for obstacles)
Pixie Tip:
Add some fairy lights or glow sticks for a magical nighttime obstacle course!
2. Creative Craft Station
Set up a dedicated craft station with all the essentials for an afternoon of creativity. Stock up on colored paper, markers, glue, glitter, and other crafting materials. Choose a theme for the day, like making fairy wings, pirate hats, or animal masks.
What You'll Need:
- Glue and scissors (safety scissors for younger children)
- Glitter, stickers, and other embellishments
Pixie Tip:
Turn on some fun, upbeat music to keep the creative energy flowing!
3. Indoor Camping Adventure
Bring the fun of camping indoors by setting up a tent or making a fort with blankets and pillows. Have a picnic inside, tell stories, and even make s’mores in the oven or microwave. This cozy setup can make for a delightful day or even a magical sleepover.
What You'll Need:
- Blankets and pillows or a pop-up tent
- Picnic snacks
- Flashlights
Pixie Tip:
Use fairy lights inside the tent to add a touch of magic.

- Decorations (sprinkles, icing, edible glitter)
- Kid-friendly utensils
Pixie Tip:
Create a mini “bake-off” challenge with family members as judges for a fun twist!
5. Interactive Story Time
Create an interactive storytelling session where kids can dress up as characters from their favorite books. Read aloud and let them act out scenes, use props, and even make simple costumes. This is a great way to encourage a love for reading and dramatic play.

Explain the science behind each experiment to add an educational twist to the fun.
