Draw a map of your home, backyard or local park. Hide an object and mark it on the map then send your kids off to find the item. The more items you've placed the trickier the game. (also a winner to play inside on rainy days inside or at the local park).
A known remedy for calming and even more so for hours spent outside, water play is the perfect activity to keep your smalls cool and having fun. Nudie rudie under the sprinkler, bath toys in large outdoor containers or kitchen utensils in a makeshift mud kitchen - water play activities are endless.
Fancy Dinner
Whether its for an unbirthday Birthday or an excuse to bring out the good tableware, have your kids set up dinner like a restaurant. From place cards to cutlery set up, napkins and candles, making an every day activity a bit unusual epitomises Summer spontaneity. Who knows, it may even promote the consumption of a brussels sprout.
We're upping the ante here. Grab an old white sheet and hang your sheet to some hooks to form the screen, borrow, buy or hire a projector to create your own backyard cinema. All you need are a few cushions or beanbags for seats, whip up some popcorn and play your kids' favourite movie! Some go-to's for us are Sing (1 and 2 equally brill for kids and adults alike!), Moana, Luca, Ratatouille
