Some days are easier than others. Some days my kids can entertain themselves without any issues. Other days? Well, they need help. It can be tough being inside for so long. My daughter especially loves getting fresh air, and when Razor sent her an electric scooter, she was thrilled:
With the Razor scooter, she was able to get outside. She made sure to maintain a proper distance if she came across someone:
It was easy to set up and to charge. The battery works up to 40 minutes so Natalie was able to zip around. She also used her feet sometimes to push herself along. It was easy to put together and it's sturdy, so I don't have to worry about it falling apart.

Razor sent in some other suggestions to keep kids entertained:
Simon Says – This classic game gets an indoor twist with commands like “Simon says hop to your pillow and back,” “Simon Says run up the stairs and back,” and “Simon Says bring me a spoon”
Dance Party – Nothing gets kids going like a dance party! Pick a favorite playlist and crank up the jams! Learn a new move on YouTube or try a round of freeze dance, pausing your music and holding statue-still til it starts up again (Alexa is a great freeze dance partner!)
Tape Shapes – Clear some space on a non-carpeted floor and use painter’s tape to make large triangles, rectangles, squares, and circles on the floor. Assign each child a starting space, then call moves like “crab walk to the circle,” “crawl to the square,” or “jump backwards to the rectangle.”
Balloon Ball – Blow up some balloons, toss a sheet over two chairs to make a “net”, and serve up a round of indoor balloon volleyball – just don’t let that balloon touch the floor!
Laundry Basketball – If your kids are bonkers for basketball, empty out a laundry basket and take turns tossing a Nerf ball into the basket, backing up two steps each time you score. See who can shoot from the farthest distance!
Soda Bottle Bowling – Dig some empty soda or water bottles out of the recycling and set up an indoor bowling alley in your hallway. Roll a soft ball toward your targets and see who can knock down the most “pins” and reset them the fastest.
Long Jump – Using painter’s tape, lay six 2-foot strips, each about a foot apart. Assign a starting spot and see who can jump the farthest!
Potato Pass – Kids waddle their way toward a bucket or bowl – with a potato between their knees – and see who can drop it in first in this half-baked indoor game! Make it tricky by placing the bucket in another room, forcing turns or steps along the way.
Be My Mirror – Pair up your kids and assign a starter to make a series of moves while their partner tries to mirror what they’re doing. Get through the series and switch roles – miss one and begin again!
Hula Hoop Marathon – Grab a hoop and set the timer to see who can last the longest. Expert “hoopers” can try swiveling their hula hoops on their necks, arms, and ankles.
How have you been keeping busy?
It looks like she enjoyed it! My hubby says no on the motorized scooters. He'd rather my daughter push with her feet! Haa!
ReplyDeleteShe has a regular razor scooter too :)
DeleteLooks like she's having lots of fun, it's so important to keep kids busy right now. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
ReplyDeleteMy kids always enjoyed riding their scooters, and I'm sure they would have loved a motorized one. These are some great ideas to keep kids entertained.
ReplyDeleteOh this looks like fun. I have a grandchild that I think would love this!1
ReplyDeleteMy kids have all had Razor scooters but not electric. My sister has some amazing electric scooters, though, so when we visit her the kids love using them.
ReplyDeleteWow your daughter must have been thrilled!! I know mine would have been!
ReplyDeleteThese are some really great ideas. My kids have always loved the razor. So much fun!
ReplyDeleteMy boys love their scooters. They do keep them busy.
ReplyDeleteI have to look into getting this for my kiddos. My son would love this.
ReplyDeleteKids must have lots of fun while using this scooter. Especially during these difficult times. :)
ReplyDeleteYour daughter seems to have enjoyed the Razor! Thanks for the tips to keep the kiddos busy :)
ReplyDeleteMy son has motorized scooter and when it gets warm he always uses it. These days of quarentine are perfect to start gettig out alone.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like she was having a great time! I love that it encourages her to get out and get some fresh air - so important right now. The balloon ball suggestion is one that we use often with the band that I'm involved with - we have music classes for younger kids at the start of the night, but the Sr Band rehearsal (which includes their parents, therefore their rides home) goes longer. So, I've had the kids in playing balloon ball in another room - keeps them busy, they have a blast and it's not an activity that's likely going to get anyone hurt lol
ReplyDeleteI love it and I love that she loves to be your model! So glad shes getting outside and enjoying the nice weather.
ReplyDeleteI think my youngest daughter would love this! She like to do exciting activities! The weather is good lately. This can be a good way to enjoy an afternoon around home.
ReplyDeletewow I bet my grandson would love a toy like this I need to add it to the christmas list
ReplyDeleteFor sure, my nieces will love this. Even I as a kid will surely love this. Very fun way of keeping children busy...
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! Why didn't they have these when I was a kid!?
ReplyDeleteThe kids have a couple Razor scooters. We'll have to try out some of these activities!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! It looks like good exercise, too. Balancing is super important!
ReplyDeleteMy son loves is razor.... way more than his bike! We have been going on lots of walks and cleaning the house A LOT! Plus, I added spanish and bible study to their homeschooling so the kids are on a full day school schedule. Its all just been wacky and weird over here.
ReplyDeleteI loved my razor scooter growing up! What a great toy.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I want to play with that!
ReplyDeleteMy kids love going on their scooters! They have got manual ones . However we haven't done scooters since the lock down as my kids are younger than your daughter and they would find it hard to keep their distance . I will be trying out the potato game, sounds fun!
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fun! I bet my 6 year old would love it!
ReplyDeleteRazor scooter sounds perfect for any teenager! I sure that my elder daughter will love this for her birthday!
ReplyDeleteI'm still a kid myself. lol. I can try razor. It looks fun.. yayyy.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a scooter when I was young. This electric one would definitely be an upgrade. Looks like so much fun!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a excellent idea. I should get my boys out there and burn some energy.
ReplyDeleteThese are such cool scooters and have come such a long way since I was a kid. I can not wait until my boys are old enough to get them these!
ReplyDeleteThat looks fun! I think my son would love to have one of these Razor scooters!
ReplyDeleteI guess scooters are making a comeback, huh? I could never balance myself on them. Ha Ha!
