Keeping our kids occupied this summer...

The summer holidays are an exciting time for children, but they can be stressful for parents. Consider teaming up with friends or family to divide childcare responsibilities. While the kids enjoy themselves, you can take care of chores, work, or even socialise with other parents.
Here are some of our budget-friendly summer holiday activities to enjoy.

Craft Day = Games Day
Get some stationery supplies from a nearby discount store.
Games like Hoopla, Pin the Tail on the Donkey, and Snakes & Ladders can all be created easily at home.

Seek like Columbus
Stroll around with a homemade map like a seasoned explorer. (You could also cheat and print a freebie online) Gather shells and stones to craft your masterpiece. Dive deep into the world of bugs, plants, or trees on your adventure.

Local Community Freebies
Take advantage of your local library for more than just books. They often host events like movies and music. Explore your community centre, council website, and social media for free activities such as breakfast clubs, swimming sessions, and day trips.

Life Hacks
Why not spice up your week by scheduling a day to dive into new skills with your little ones? Get them involved right from the get-go! Plan a fun picnic or cook up a storm together, allowing them to pick a recipe or get creative with the ingredients on hand. Let them take charge by following the steps in a cookbook, helping them along the way. This hands-on approach isn't just for cooking - it's perfect for teaching practical skills like budgeting, sewing, or even planting a garden. Learning by doing is not only fun but super satisfying for your mini-me's!

Everyone loves a blanket fort
Create an epic fort using blankets and sheets, indoors in your living room or outdoors in nature. Indulge in the picnic snacks you made earlier, hand them a flashlight, and let me enjoy countless hours of fun together!

Hunting for Treasure
Embark on a thrilling treasure hunt adventure by crafting a treasure map with clues leading to hidden gems waiting to be unearthed in your home and garden. The treasures need not break the bank; the sheer joy of discovery is what adds a spark of excitement! Alternatively, venture into the world of Geocaching by scouting local treasure maps online for a different kind of thrill. Happy hunting!

Sports Day
Gather your neighbours and organise a street sports day at a nearby playing field. Utilise common household items to create a fun-filled afternoon, where you can cheer on the kids participating in a relay, sack and egg and spoon race.

It's Showtime!
Invite the children to stage a play or magic show using clothes and props found around the house. Encourage them to create posters to promote the event, and consider recording it for those who can't be there and for lasting memories.

Summer diary
Motivate your children to maintain a Summer Diary/Scrapbook. Let them capture moments with photos and write about their experiences. This diary will turn into a cherished memory book for them as they grow older.

And relax......
With all the tasks mapped out above, don't forget to take some time to relax. It's important to have days where you can simply unwind. Watch a movie, read a book, and just take it easy.
