11 FUN CHEAP SCHOOL HOLIDAY IDEAS It can be a challenge finding new, exciting ways to keep the kids occupied in school holidays, especially ones which dont cost much! Fortunately Simple Savings member Elizabeth has some great ideas to share! Why not give some of these a go? This is the first school holidays Ive had off with both of my children and Im determined to make it lots of fun, but on a budget! I sat down with my three and six-year-old on the first day and we have brainstormed a list of things to do. We have so many ideas on our list that well be able to use them on the next holidays too! We are going to rate everything we do so that we can redo our favourite activities again. Our list includes: 1. Create, practice and perform our own concert. We need to make props and invites too so it will be a big project. 2. Fruit Salad Day. Well walk to the fruit shop, select our favourite fruits and bring them home to make a fruit salad with. After our yummy treat, well colour pictures of the fruit we put in the fruit salad. 3. Make Spongebobs using sponges, google eyes, pipe cleaners and PVA (all stuff I have in my craft box). 4. Make and post invitations for a picnic with friends at a park. 5. Even though the weather is still a bit cool well visit the beach to collect some shells to make into wind chimes. After our beach visit we can also write down some of the other interesting things we saw at the beach. 6. Explore all the parks around the city and make our own list of parks to visit with Dad on the weekends. 7. Check out a couple of the local museums. 8. Visit local shopping centres to see what kids activities are on offer. 9. Have a mini Olympics day. Well plan our activities using sports equipment we already have. 10. Have a board game day. 11. Set up a treasure hunt around our house and backyard. At the end of each day were going to sit together and write or draw what we did that day so when we go back to school and kindy we can share it with the teachers. Were very excited about our cheap holidays!
