We spend plenty of time consumed behind a screen, be it on our cell phones, computers, or televisions. It’s become more important than ever before to spend time interacting directly with the younger members of our family and to monitor the content consumed by them. A great way to do this is by finding activities and content that you can enjoy together, and Formovie has a list of the most ideal ways to bond with your kids on a screen that’s larger than life.

Ways to Bond with the Family Over Screentime 

Make Learning Fun

While reading has proven to be a beneficial way to consume learning material, it can sometimes be tedious if you’re not well-versed in the subject. And for the really young learner, who may not be able to read, it’s not even an option. Parenting.com, a website dedicated to parents with young children, suggests that some of the best educational websites for children are National Geographic Kids or BrainPOP. 

These are websites that can be accessed and viewed directly on the web of the Formovie THEATER and Formovie Mini Projector Dice, or you can use a wireless connection to display the learning material on the Formovie P1 Projector. 

Bedtime, Storytime 

Stories help to stimulate the creative mind of a child, and a story at bedtime can be a great way to help kids wind down before falling asleep. Audiobooks have made bedtime stories an experience that both children and adults can enjoy together, furthermore, the illustrations will look so much better on a big screen if you decide to utilize a projector at bedtime. With the built-in speakers of your projector, you can listen to entire audio books online on streaming apps like Spotify, Audible, or BBC Sounds.

Gain New Skills

Sometimes it’s easier to learn a skill when you observe someone else in action. There are an array of tutorial videos online that help people learn completely new skills, or improve upon the skills they already have. You can get the young ones excited for every meal by spending some time learning a new recipe together, or you can build something simple that’ll leave a lasting memory by following tutorial videos on YouTube or websites like DIY.org.

Enjoy some Downtime

Relaxing together after a long day away from the house is quite possibly the easiest way to bond with the family. Formovie projectors display high-resolution videos with bright and vivid colors for an immersive and cinematic viewing experience. This is perfect if you want to create new memories by watching classic movies with the younger members of your family, or if you want to catch up on your favorite series. 

If you have gaming consoles like a play station, the Formovie THEATER has an auto low latency mode that detects when you’re playing games so you can enjoy a gaming experience with no lag and all the benefits of an immersive home projector. 

Anything is Possible

There are no limits to how you can entertain with a home projector, and depending on which one you decide is best for your home, you have the option of enjoying some outdoor time with your family and Formovie.
