Activities

As every parent and the parent guru knows, life is never easier than when children are absorbed in enjoyable activities. It pays dividends to be well prepared with all the necessary materials, and it is always best to make sure that everything is cleaned up and put away carefully in readiness for the next occasion. Children should be encouraged to help with the tidying up afterwards, and this will make your job easier too!

Getting Out and About

There are many different places to take children or trips or for outings. Some are simple, cheap and quick. Others can take up a whole day and are more exciting, but may be expensive. I tend to mix them so that I don't spend too much in one week! Here are some examples but I'm sure you have other local interests too. I've split them up into two sections - Indoor and Outdoor.

Your local council can give you lists of parks and toddler groups, and your local tourist board should be able to tell you about all the places to visit. Remember, when walking outdoors with young children, to talk to them about the surroundings and to take it slowly, at their pace!
