The May half-term is upon us and it’s always a slog to think of some cool, new, unique ideas to do with the kids. We put our heads together and came up with some fantastic ideas that we’d love to share..
A Historical Place
Find a local place of historical interest near you and make a day trip out of it. Perhaps your son is learning about the Great Fire of London so you could take the day out and visit Pudding Lane in London, where the fire started. Or if you’re up north and your child is studying the Romans, you could go check out Hadrian’s Wall. Down in Cornwall you could see some pirate treasure troves if they’re really into the Pirates of the Caribbean! It’s easy to forget how much history we have on our doorsteps in the UK and there is so much to explore.

Nature walk vase
If you’re trying to drag the kids out for a walk, make it more fun by turning it into this really easy and creative nature vase activity:
Before you leave cut a piece cardboard they can hold. Draw on a simple vase and poke holes through the cardboard where the flowers will be. Go for a walk and gather daisies and other flowers that are in abundance and poke the stems through. Watch the vase come to life with it’s beautiful flower arrangement.
Why not mix it up, with a face and grassy hair or a lion with dandelions for a mane.
