Schools
Out! Happy Days!! Kids can stroll out of their
beds in their own time, no rush and brawling over the toilet, breakfast can be
served without hassle and the mornings will finally feel like heaven again. If
only!!
Although
summer seems like an early Christmas for the kids, parents are left to struggle
with an extra 6 hours of nagging, tantrums and cries
of boredom. Keeping the children entertained with fun family activities this
summer can do wonders & many don’t cost a fortune.
1. Kite Competition
Summer
time is the best time (in fact the only time) when the kites are ready to come
out. Have a ball and fly those kites. Encouraging the kids to make or
personalize their own kites is not only a fun crafting task but allows the kids
to put their overactive imagination to work. Add some fun by competing –who can
fly their kite the highest?
2. Pack a Picnic
A
summer isn’t quite complete without a trip to the Park with a picnic hamper
full of great summer snacks. We all know that the thrill of preparing for a
holiday is far more exciting than the holiday itself, similarly packing for a
picnic and deciding what foods to cram in a picnic basket is all part of the
experience - so get the kids involved. Urge the
children to help prepare their own sandwiches with the filling of their choice.
3. Summer Sports
Get
active. Summer is a great time to try out new outdoor sports (think about the
post baby fat you can lose in the process)
whilst spending a joyful time with the whole family. Light friendly sports such
as basketball and football are the perfect
activities to keep the kids occupied.
4. Cool Chores
Sometimes
children can get in the way of household chores. Getting the children to take
part is a playful way to get the job done whilst keeping an eye on them. Car
washes, gardening and baking are great chores to get the whole family involved
in.
5. Traditional Treats
Old
is gold. Go all traditional this summer and bring out those games and toys that
were equivalent to game consoles in our times. Search out the bats & balls,
hulla hoops, frisbees , swing balls and skipping ropes
- a fun way to train kids to appreciate
the simple things in life.
