Amusing the Kids During the School Break
<!–[endif]–>
If you’re wondering where your kids are during school break then fear not. Like most children they will be sitting in front of the TV or the games console whiling away the hours till they go back to school.
We all know it is far healthier for them to be outside but getting them off that couch is near impossible! So why not make a day of it for them. Tell them that you’re all going out for a picnic. Get the picnic basket out and let them make their own lunch to take. And while they’re at it they can stick a game/toy of their choice in there as well (try to encourage balls or tennis rackets). Having the responsibility of making their own lunch and lunch for everyone else will make them feel empowered and far more likely to move them from that couch!
For sitting while out on your day trip try the picnic table with chairs. It’s sturdy enough to hold the weight of 4 adults yet it’s a folding picnic table so it’s small enough once folded down to keep in the trunk of your car. It’s so small you could keep it in there permanently. You never know when you might need it.
So if your little darlings are glued to the TV why not take them out this summer and really make it a family day? They will get fresh air, exercise, quality family bonding time and best of all you won’t have to spend your summer playing second best to a TV!
