Answer 1

hi

kids half term Can be expensive but don't need to be...

i also have 3 kids and we have fun with out spending loads... think back to when you where a child and how exciting the world used to be...

if it nice day, wrap them up warm and take them on a ramble in the woods or country parks near your home. make it special take a picnic... take some paper & crayons and do some drawing... the UK as some great country parks with good access... try your local tourist information bureau for ideas.

museums can be fun at half term... ours had the dinosaurs over Xmas and mine loved it....

and if it raining which it always does at half term good old fashion board games... swimming or bowling. again the local bowling alley and pictures have special rates at half term.

have you ask them to pick days out they would like?? be honest explain what budget you have and what this as to cover... like petrol money food spend etc etc... (this helped my daughters learn the value of money)

also maybe you need to look at the age groups the 11 year old may want to "hang around" with her friends so ask her what she would like to do or if she would like to bring a friend along.. this can help with the pre teenage sulks!!!!!!!!

good luck because its not easy!!!

Who says you need to go abroad? How about having an arts & crafts day? Things can be bought very cheaply from your local maket or the Early Learning Centre (or loo rolls etc are free from around the home). Pick a theme for the day and create things around this theme. Check out www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies for ideas. See the Art Attack, Fingertips or DoodleDoo pages.

Or you could have a baking day (messy but great fun!). Again check out the above website and see Big Cook Little Cook pages for great childrens recipes.

Do you have a park/open space nearby? How about taking some paper & crayons and do some drawing or some tree rubbings or looking out for signs of spring. you could even collect twigs & leaves for arts and crafts.

The best fun is free. Go forth and enjoy!

Look online at local venues like museums, zoos, conservatories, etc for coupons for discounts. In this season there are usually quite a few. Try going to the park a few times, bowling, or even creating a "movie fest" with a fort, popcorn, juice and sleeping bags.
