I love the Summer holidays, we have a Summer bucket list with things that we want to achieve over the break, but we also have days when we just stay at home and relax with Movies, outdoor games.
These are the days when we sometimes hear the words I’m Bored, what can I do. So I put together a list of things, Printed them and then stuck them to Lolly sticks, decorated a tin bucket I had lying around and hey presto we had the I’m Bored Bucket all set up.
You only get 18 Summers with your Child, then before you know it they are fully blown adults who are off doing there own thing…. When you see it like that 18 summers, it just seems so short. So Make as many memories as you possibly can, You don’t need to have lots of money to have a great time.
I have put together a list of Ideas, so hopefully your kiddies will have something to choose from to keep them entertained for at least 5 mins!
