Every parent wants their kids to be happy, but it’s not always easy or affordable to keep children entertained, especially during long breaks between semesters.
If you’re looking for ideas to have loads of fun without breaking the bank, here are some activities to try.
Host a brunch club
Everyone loves brunch! If you enjoy going out for brunch and meeting up with friends, why not combine the two and save money at the same time?
Hosting a brunch club at home is a great way to have fun with family and friends and enjoy delicious food on a budget. Search for ideas online and look for tasty, easy dishes you can prepare the night before like a french toast casserole recipe to save you time in the morning.
You can celebrate special occasions, add a theme or just embrace the opportunity to spend quality time together. If you’re inviting new friends along, make sure you ask about dietary requirements in advance.
Explore the great outdoors
Exploring the great outdoors is a fantastic way to discover new places, reap the rewards of exercise and enjoy new experiences. There are lots of activities you can try as a family, including nature trails and al fresco picnics, bike rides, rock climbing, kayaking and walking.
You don’t have to spend any money to go for a walk in the park or bust your budget to visit national parks or areas of natural beauty. Being outdoors is also beneficial for mental health.
Look for free, family friendly activities
If you’re not already a member of local community groups on social media, now is the time to join. By being part of community networks, you can find out about free, family-friendly events and activities, including festivals, galas, charity fundraisers and offers for attractions like museums and galleries.
Get creative
Creative activities are fun and they also offer incredible benefits for mental well-being for adults and children. Getting creative can help you to express emotions and relax. There are myriad activities to try, including painting, drawing, making greetings cards or decorations for the home, writing, junk modeling and pottery.
You can stock up on supplies and set up creative activities at home, find classes in your local area for kids, or look for workshops run by museums and galleries. If it’s a warm, sunny day, you could also get out into the garden or go to a local park and exercise your creative skills in the fresh air. If you’re low on inspiration, or you find yourself doing the same things time and time again, look for ideas online and use social media to find resources and links.
We all want our kids to have loads of fun when they’re not at school, but it can be difficult to keep children entertained, especially if you are on a budget.
If you’re looking for ideas for days out that don’t cost a fortune or activities you can enjoy closer to home, why not give these suggestions a try?
