hello!
just thinking about what activities etc we can do over the summer holidays, i thought it might help us all if we listed ideas, and then, we will never be stuck for something to do :laughing:
I have days out to the beach/woods etc planned, where we just see how the day takes us and what we do. I keep a box in the boot of the car with buckets/spades/balls/vehicles/small world bits/ paper&crayons/'Forest school' ( Rope/string/pegs, magnifying glasses, peelers, bug pots etc ) bits in, so we dig out what we need each time.
We also want to revisit all the local castles ( i have English Heritage membership so up to 6 children go free )
I have a plan :laughing: that next week i am going to empty all the hideyholes that i store craft bits in, and all the unfinished/half sets etc of 'STUFF' are going to be put in a big tray for USING UP! i always forget what i have got, and buy more, so the stash just gets bigger and bigger :blush:
i don't particularly have any set craft activities in mind, although i did buy a cheap set of 'make your own' people keyrings in asda the other day, so i think we will do those as a 'going back to school' activity.
At home i am planning days playing ALL the board games and doing ALL the puzzles! Mass Duplo creations and to see how big a marble run we can make ( i have a super set of wooden marble run blocks, and am thinking we can add cardboard tubes etc ) ... this is in case we get REALLY rainy days. (usually i go out in the rain regardless) Any other ideas for indoor activities?
The only 'organised' outing that will cost me an entrance fee is to a local Maize Maze - but once there, there is so much to do, we can easily be there all day. The children want to go to Flamingoland - BUT as a couple are now over 4, sadly we won't be going, unless parents want to pay for a full price day entry that we will only use about 3, maybe 4 hours of!
