However, after a few days of home rest, parents face the question: how to make children's leisure more diverse and maintain the festive spirit?
To ensure these holidays are remembered for more than just watching cartoons and playing on gadgets, it’s worth getting some fresh air and giving children new unforgettable experiences.
Diverse theatrical performances, interactive shows, New Year trees, master classes, and other festive events will help fill these days with magic and joy.
