Its the holidays once again and I need some ideas.
I already plan to take the kids 2 dds aged 2 and 6 + ds 9 weeks to the library and a welly walk in the local woulds but that still leaves 5 days to fill.
I think I will go mad staying stuck in the flat with them all week.
any one have any other ideas.

Have you checked the last post I put on the christmas thread? There's a link to a website for making and doing loads of christmas things for the kids.

Search bbc.co.uk for "half term" - they have quite a few regional suggestions

I think this post is more suited for the Families Board for more ideas at home, or otherwise the Travel Board for ideas on trips out.

Let me know which you need most and I'll move this across for you.

papier maché using flour and water paste and free newspapers
salt dough modeling or make your own play dough
decorate an old t shirt or a cushion
sew odds and ends together to start your own family quilt
get the children to make your tea for you - mine do this and they love it once in a while their specialities are eggy bread and pizza so far. I obviously turn the cooker on for them and lift hot things.
do a treasure hunt in the house
have a clearout for the charity shop
have a fancy dress day, all day long My son looked lovely in a tutu!

Check your local paper for coupons into places
Go nut picking if theres any trees near you
fob them off on grandparents:D

Since you mostly seem to need ideas for time out I'm going to move you across to the Travel Board where there are always good ideas for day trips to be found.

Best of luck.
