Ten + Diabolical things for kids to do on holidays

1. Plan a holiday photographic scavenger hunt...get the kids input or use the 30 day photo challenges for some ideas. Make it last as long as holidays.

2. A twilight zone sausage sizzle in a park or nature reserve. Grab your forks (tongs) , snags , sauce and bread. Remember torches and insect repellant if it applies.

3. An all day DVD movie marathon , pop some popcorn and stay in your pjs all day. (PS - I've got some DVD giveaways read to go )

4. Get on your bikes or scooters and head down to a bike track somewhere.

5. Take your kids to live stage show or concert , shopping centres run free shows . Have you entered my BEN 10 Live Time Machine family pass giveaway .


6. Boxes, boxes and more what can't you do with boxes free at local Bunnings ...let them use their imaginations and then toss them in bin for recycling.

7.Head to a beach or river even if it is too cold to really swim, paddle in shallows, build sandcastles, fly a kite or throw a ball up ball around.


8. Camp out in the backyard overnight.

9.Have a Lego block building Challenge (PS I've also got a brand Lego Giveaway just waiting for it to arrive)


10. My top tip is to check out what your local area has on offer for free -

I don't have kids that are school age yet but we still love making rockets out of boxes. We often have an all day dvd marathon, especially when one of the kids is sick.

Thanks Prue and I think DVD's are mum's sanity savers sometimes.
Love that list Trish!! Could even do most of those on our trip north in a few weeks! Sanity savers for the win! Thank you! xxx

It gets harder as they get older I find.
Thanks for inspiring some school holiday planning! I have booked four nights at the beach and will be visiting the hotsprings with the family! My daughter loves the idea of an outdoor sausage cook out, and a treasuree hunt would be right up Coopers alley x.

My boys have always loved them.
Excellent ideas! Especially the first one, can't wait till Mia is old enough to start using a camera, I already have my old digi put away fro the day and she is only 9 months!

That's being prepared .
Wonderful ideas trish. I espeically love the kite flying and the rocket ship. I'm hoping to use boxes in one of my activites soon ( we're going to make a bird hide). It should be interesting!

Yes, I am going to grab some boxes too. Keeps them busy for ages.
Awesome ideas Trish. This term has just flown. Can't believe it's nearly holidays again!
