Fun things to do in the holidays
Posted in: Parenting
Keeping your child occupied in the holidays can be a full-time job.
You can’t go out on trips everyday, so its best to plan these dates and create activities leading up to them.
Like a trip to the zoo, drawing pictures of animals and having fun with photos of the visit can provide hours of fun after the event itself.
Always have a camera, a cheap throw-away camera is the best and not expensive if they get lost or damaged.
You could also try and save these activities for rainy days.
Always have a big pile of activities which you child can do if they get bored, coloring books, board games, story books, toys and puzzle books.
Try and make the most of the weather, a trip to the beach in hot weather or fun in the snow, snow men or sledging.
Visits to family and friends can be a lot of fun, you can vary the transport making the journey fun and different. Remember to get your child to take photos.
One more good idea, is to encourage your child to keep a scrap book, they can glue in their photos and add drawings and postcards you may have made or bought.
