  • Local Library is good at half term, tend to put quite a bit on, and so do a few local churches, both often get over looked during half term
  • We used to have a day out to the museum and take a picnic to the gardens in front. Depends if you live near an interesting one though.
  • Or for indoors;

    painting/crafts

    making playdough

    baking

    indoor teddy bear picnic

    indoor "cinema"
  • Yesterday we went for a trek through the heath, collecting leafs, twigs etc. When we got back the kids made pictures out of them, glue everywhere but it kept them entertained for a while! They also made things out of clay the other day which they will paint today.

    This week we will also be going to a free museum which is down by the quay and then they can take some photos of the boats and other random objects :rotfl:.

    It might be worth checking shopping centres near you, we have Postman Pat coming to our local one this week.

    we are coastal so the beach is our fave free day out.

    On holiday weeks like this though I walk my dd to our local park so she gets a bit of exercise to tire her a bit, then I let her pick acorns or leaves or something and we come home and get the glue out and make something with them and throw in a bit of paint too perhaps.
