Ways to surprise your kids, fun family activities

Here is how to surprise your kids, some unique and super cool surprise ideas to reward your kids, epic ways to surprise your kids, for children of all ages! These would make great birthday surprises - or even 'just because' surprises that everyone will love!

How can I surprise my kids with gifts?

Why not hide a surprise gift under their duvet or pillow for them to find when they climb in to bed, or hide their gift in their clothes drawer or wardrobe, then ask them to put their clothes away as part of their chores. When they go to tackle their chore they will get the best surprise!

How can I surprise my 7 year old?

Why not try baking them a cake with a special surprise inside, set up a puppy sleepover, ambush them with a silly string fight or water fight, set up a surprise party tea, make an obstacle course or gift them some blind boxes or mystery boxes to open!
