10 Activities To Do With Your Kids: Stave Off Boredom

1. Go swimming, if you normally go to your local pool see if neighbouring areas have better facilities.

2. Check out your local art galleries and museums, there are often special events and quiz sheets available for the holidays.

3. Make cards or gifts for each other or for relatives and special friends

4. Bake a cake or some biscuits – make unique shapes and sizes. For example, try making pink instant whip, wait for it to thicken up and then spoon out in heart shape and sprinkle with heart shaped sugar decorations. Home made burgers can also be shaped to fit a theme or just for fun!

5. Sort out the old toys and clothes. Ebay the good stuff and offer a proportion of the earnings back as pocket money. Send the rest to the charity shop.

6. If the weather permits get outside for the day and do a spring watch. A walk in the woods should reveal leaves breaking out and snowdrops. See what signs of spring your children can spot.

7. Have an indoor Olympics. Gather up any beanbags, hoops etc in the house, find a stopwatch and race the clock for the best time. Distances etc can be varied for different aged children.

8. Buy a bird feeder, hang it near a window and see who comes to visit. Children should be encouraged to be quiet for this one.

9. Search the web for their favourite TV characters. Most of the TV websites for young children have brilliant websites with printable activity pages and online games to play.

10. Have a disco. Draw the curtains put on a pop DVD or pop TV channel, add any fancy lights you can find.
