Spending time with kids

Holidays and weekends are the best times to do things with your kids out in the fresh air. It’s fun to collect what nature discards, chestnuts, conkers, leaves and pine cones etc. Then at home you can help the children to make animals and figures out of them with the use of toothpicks and a little fantasy.

Summer outdoors activities for kids include:

• all sorts of ball games (football, tennis, table tennis etc)

• kite flying in the park

• hide and seek in the woods

• visiting the animal parks

• playing golf on a mini putting green

• sailing boats on the park boating lake

• pedal scooter riding

• roller skating

If your child shows an interest in painting or drawing, buy a fax roll and act out a fantasy trip around the world by cutting out pictures from different countries and pasting them onto the roll. The further you go, the bigger the map. See if you can get to China.
