5 holiday activities for kids
Whether you’re jetting off somewhere sunny or staying home for the hols, we’re here to help you keep the kids entertained. And, hopefully, you’ll also find a minute’s peace, too. Though that might be wishful thinking…
What do I need to take on holiday with the kids?
Well, first off – don’t forget the children, obviously. That’s the most important thing. But other than that you’ll want to make a list of all the essentials, from suncream to passports, plushies and toothbrushes.
Once you’ve got those all ticked off, it’s time to think about the all-important entertainment. And, that’s where we come in…
Board Games & Puzzles
From stacking burgers to balancing cats and escape rooms, board games are always going to go down well. And, they can even be educational, too. Case in point – this ‘My Feelings Bingo’ game that teaches little ones all about their emotions. How lovely!
2. Outdoor Games
Outdoor games are sure to come in handy for the two days of the holiday when it’s not raining. There are lots to pick from, whether it’s bowls, croquet or even pickleball (a mix of tennis, table tennis and badminton, btw). Bonus points if you personalise a football with their name. Because what kid wouldn’t love that?
3. Colouring and activity books
When it comes to colouring activities, you’ll find tons of unexpected ideas on our small brand marketplace. Colour in tablecloths, sneakers, superhero capes and even biscuits for an unforgettable group activity. Let’s just hope it stops them scribbling on the walls (for once).
