Summer will be here before you know it. If you are not fully prepared, you could have one or more bored kids on your hands during the school holidays, which will make it a long six weeks if so. For this reason, you must use this time wisely to think up fun ways to ensure your kids have an unforgettable break.
As a result, your children could experience many fond memories they will treasure forever, and they will have plenty to talk about once they return to school in September. Find out how to entertain your children this summer.
Book a Fun Family Trip
Rather than allowing your children to succumb to boredom during the school summer holidays, book a fun trip away as a family.
For example, you could book one of many relaxing Sussex holiday cottages, which will provide the whole clan with a home away from home.
Plus, you could be a stone’s throw away from picture perfect walking trails and stunning beaches, which will ensure you each have a superb time.
Pack a Picnic
If you want to pull your kids away from a games console or tablet computer and encourage them to spend more time in the outdoors, pack a delicious picnic for the family.
It is a great way to spend some time together as a family while ensuring your children enjoy some much-needed fresh air in your garden or a local park.
Plus, you can create many memories by playing fun outdoor games in between sandwiches and cakes.
Get Creative with Your Kids
Encourage your kids to show off their creativity this summer with various arts and crafts activities.
For example, you could stock up on paints and paper for them to create their own works of art, which they can proudly hang in their bedroom.
Mums and dads can even try creating their own artwork to see how they compare with their kids.
Bake Together in the Kitchen
Let’s face it; there is no guarantee the sun will be shining all summer long in the UK.
However, there is no reason to despair, as baking can be a superb rainy-day activity.
You and your kids can head into the kitchen together to whip up a variety of bakes, such as colourful cupcakes, delicious brownies or even a tasty pizza.
Guide them through the recipe and only take over during the more dangerous tasks, such as pulling the treats from the oven.
Arrange a Play Date
If you are struggling for fun ideas to keep your kids occupied this summer, stop trying so hard to entertain your son or daughter and arrange a play date with a school friend.
It will allow your child to maintain a strong friendship during the school holidays while ensuring they have plenty of fun throughout the day.
Plus, as they will be busy playing with their friend in their bedroom or the garden, you will have time to spare to clean your home, watch some TV or read a good book.
