Activities

We've gathered some fun ideas to supplement your plans for summer fun with your child/children this summer holidays that will keep your kids - and your wallet - happy. We'd love to hear your top tips and things your kids love to do so if you want to share your idea with other mums, then hop over to the Suggest an activity page and let us know.

Top Tips:

• Don't forget to pack lunch and snacks - a free day out can become costly if you end up buying food and drink throughout the day
• Make the journey there and back fun - don't forget old fashioned travel games such as I Spy and I Went to the Shops... all help to pass the time and make a long journey more bearable for parent and child/children
• Don't pay full price! If you are planning a day out to an attraction hunt around on the web for discounts and offers
• Keep empty boxes, bottles, old clothes, newspapers, magazines etc to add to your child's/children's arts and crafts supplies
• Remember whatever your child does/children do - it doesn't have to be perfect. Let them make mistakes, its all part of the learning process
