Hi Rebecca,
Great competition you have going on here!
we have posted it on our freebie website https://www.cloudfreebies.co.uk/2013/05/win-a-hamper-of-chewit-goodies-worth-25/
so you get some more readers 🙂
good luck with the competition.
Cloudfreebies
lots of fun and laughs and it doesnt have to cost the earth the best things in life are free walking or biking round the park a picnic and rolypolying down the hills mini beast hunting or planting in our veg patch
Trying to find a new activity for the kids for everyday, i.e day one cinema, day two swimming. But can be costly so try mixing it up with other home and outdoor free activities such as Baking a cake and cookies one day, visiting the park the next, or going for a bike ride.
my top tip is always have lots of craft items in your house. unpredictable british weather
My top tip for half term is to get outside with your kids no matter how old they are – and remember if it’s raining we won’t melt!!
Visit the charirty shop and build a dressing up chest & get loads of board games for wet weather
my tip, save up a few weeks before hand, because they say its free to go, but when you get into these places it costs a bomb! ice creams, toys, games, bouncy castles, they all cost. xx
lots of runing around outside
folowing on networked blogs as clair downham
If the weather is nice trips out. If it’s not nice swimming is good.
Football over the park, lots of running around, picnics and if cold/wet, lots of duvets time with dvd’s
lots of activities for the children and a trip to London to see some sights.
we always like to visit the safari park
Plan what activities you can do in advance so that you don’t wake each day wondering what to do
avoid all public places ! @ckelly2304
Plenty of fun activities to keep their minds going! If they’re sat in front of the TV or computer they’ll soon be bored!
Tire them out!
have plenty of baking items indoors and craft materials (we have a special cupboard in the kitchen for baking and a special box full of craft materials)
Always have a bag ready for swimming – – then you can just up and go on a rainy day
Plenty of bike rides weather permitting
Find a decent babysitter and send them on sleepovers!
Get the grandparents up! 🙂

picnics in the park
Plan lots of things to do to avoid boredom

Lots of time outdoors

Crafting…it’s creative and a good excuse to get messy. Make a den with the kids..not only is it fun to make but is great for them to play in all half term.
Lots of cuddles and not rushing about
love to win this for my son
It’s really tempting to do too much and go here there and everywhere. So my top tip is proritise a few days of fun but also enjoy the park, your garden, crafting and playing games too.

Try to get out everyday, even just for a walk!

Hi, I am following you with Networked Blogs as Stephanie Cheung-Tsang
Be outside as much as possible…so much fun o be had for very little cost
Stay calm!
Don’t take the weather for granted – Already highlight indoor and outdoor activities!
Kids love creative wether it’s cooking, getting messy or making things, you can do both indoors or outdoors and it keeps the week cheap
See if there is a local fair on.
quality relaxing family time
My top tip is!..free days out. Long Walks. Picnics. Feeding the ducks – it doesnt have to be a massive expense and keeps them busy.
Save vouchers for free and cheaper days out – Clubcard vouchers, Nectar card and 2 for 1’s all help reduce the cost dramatically!
LAURA HARRIS
Get outside as much as possible
be prepared for anything!
i love the bookbarn international- loads of cheap second hand books so the kids can choose whatever they like to buy

sarah hines
@sarahhines1
Play outside as much as possible and keep busy 🙂
The outdoors
Hit the beach!
plan things, and make a timetable, even plan some down time
Picnics…Cheap and lots of fun
Getting loads of fun in the fresh air – as much as the weather will allow anyway!! 😀
make the most of the outdoors – whatever the weather! 🙂
Made up games – lots of fun
research things going on in your local area on the internet, usually lots of free fun and check local papers too
go a nature trail photograph and draw all the birds and flowers that you see
Lots of crafts, walks outside. Doesn’t need to cost anything.
Lots of fun activities
Plan activities in advance to make the most of each day
Get outdoors, try and do as many different things as possible and make sure they get early nights so you can have your much needed glass of wine (or two!!) 😉
have a fun day out at the park with all their friends and a picnic
Plan lots of activities including indoor ones incase it rains!
lots of activities planned indoors as its forecast rain all week
picnic in the park
Plan both indoor and outdoor activities each day.
If the weathers good then hit the beach
The weather has been awful here for a few days, so i have prepared lots of indoor fun! Such as maraca making, (Toilet tubes and pasta) and setting up camp with our pop up tent! Making a pretend Fire with our teddy bears picnic, and sharing marshmellows! xx
I alternate between inside activities and outdoor activities that can be changed at short notice depending on the weather.
Plan different things for each day, could be just a walk to the park or a day of playing games, but it will break the day up and keep the children occupied.
Lots of days doing fun activities with their friends that they don’t often see out of school 🙂 x
Research ahead for things going on in your area x
Something new everyday, be it bike ride or something as simple as trying out a new recipe. My son is only 10 months old but everyday we try something new, his favorite so far is sensory bottles.
enrol them in a kids club
Try something new everyday, it could just be baking or a long walk but it gives them something to look forward to
Taking the kids out to the cinema, and then going to the amuesments, the kids absolutely love it..and they will sleep the night through!
To be stocked up with lots of craft items in case it rains. It’s a good job I follow my own advice as it’s done nothing but rain! x
Plan in advance
following via GFC as angieh
my tip is to plan both indoor and outdoor activities as the weather is so unpredictable no matter what time of the year it is!
in case its rainy, get lots of crafty things and make lots of cards or little presents
i have a rainy day box ….. in it i keep …
£5 (the amount needed for our local soft play area)
glue
pens , pencils , chalks , paints , glitter , paper , paper plates , material cut offs etc etc etc !! ….. my son can get busy with crafting followed by an afternoon at the softplay area
so my top tip is …… BE PREPARED FOR WET WEATHER DAYS !
Pray for good weather, Ball pit swimming or the beach as we live near one!
keep kids busy even if its running around in garden
THE LOCAL SWING PARK, great free fun 🙂
Go with the flow and try to enjoy spending time with the kids. If it’s sunny head outside to a park or the garden. If it’s raining paper and colouring pencils always keep them happy.
@v82chris
We just go to the park, do cycle and go to the cinema! we keep it simple!
@Dorothee77
lots of crafts and making things
Getting outside! The park, the zoo, the beach!
Bike rides and picnics!
picnic’s and long walk on quantocks.
plenty of glue, card, paint, bits and bobs, playdough, especially for when the weather is awful outside
Keep things indoors as a back-up for the usual British weather
bike rides to a park you havent been to before
Be prepared, have rainy day activities lined up well before the time
Start saving up craft things ready for the british weather, children love nothing more than a pot of glue to get messy with xxxx
Play card games.
visit any free entry museum—preferably a natural history
I always have the make box out it keeps the kids busy for ages
Picnics at the park are great way to have fun and tire kids out 😉 xx
a good sky tv subscription ! lol
, swimming at the local baths is inexpensive , trips to the park , walks and painting or craft activities for our usual british weather :O)
Meeting up with friends, boredom sets in when they are in company of the same people day in day out!
Make plans for when the weather is horrible! There is nothing worse than having kids stuck inside bored complaining there is nothing to do! Have plenty of craft activities at hand or get them to do some baking or meet up with friends. 🙂
We have a National Trust pass and our nearest has both indoor and outdoor play areas.
do something every day that wont cost money, beach, parks and take snacks/picnics with you
planning the week ahead, rather than deciding what to do on the day, but also don’t make it too packed, kids like to be at home too
Lego!! We have a local jumble sale that runs weekly and we managed to find a huge stack of lego a whole massive kit for £6 ..kept us all amused for a good few hours
museums and local parks
Organise a picnic, weather permitting. Getting out is a great way to break up the day and get a little fresh air, even if it’s only to the local park. If the weather isn’t that great then have a carpet picnic, grab a few board games & play!
get a babysitter 😉
lovely country park walks in the sun and for those rainy days lots of baking!
playdates at homes and woods 🙂
Use Tesco Clubcard points to organise a couple of days out – we went to Cadbury World yesterday – the kids had an amazing time!
Long walks – unless it rains – then museums
be organised
Plenty of walks in pretty places with a picnic packed.
Lots of craft activities
get outdoor, kids can run about and tire themselves out
http://www.adventuresofayorkshiremum.co.uk/
great weather and being outdoors
Collect stones and paint them – I let the kids use my old nail varnishes, so I had a clear out and they had fun.
Treasure hunts can be turned into nature trails, or indoor ones into ‘housekeeping’ without them realising!
Having lots of craft things to keep the occupied if the weather is bad x
Just spending as much time with the family as possible!
Get outdoors…kids love going out and seeing things instead of being stuck at home all day, the fresh air makes bedtime a lot easier too 😉
always have the the craft box full there is always something for us all to do as a family 🙂
Have plenty of ‘Rainy Day’ activities at the ready as this weather is so unpredictable!!
@beccicleary87
rcleary57@yahoo.com
My top tip for half-term, especially when it’s pouring down and chilly, is to have a cinema day! We snuggle up on the sofa, with lots of DVD’s and snacks, like popcorn and nacho’s, just like we are at the cinema and spend the day having lots of movie fun in our pj’s!
Do things that don’t cost a fortune otherwise the kids might expect it every day of the holidays. Try a picnic one day, crafts at home another,planting seeds in the garden and other low cost ideas.
Visit family you might not otherwise see, go for a picnic (weather permitting!) and go out to a cafe / restaurant for at least one meal (money permitting!). If half term happens to be rainy (like now!) have wellies and raincoats at the ready.
lots of days out planned even if its just a trip to the park and if its rainy and miserable lots of things to do at home like baking or painting or nothing better than a movie duvet day!
Soft play areas are great for wet days like today
Kayleigh
@Kaydee86
painting,playing sports

Go swimming or a run with fun up in the park!
I always use my Tesco vouchers so that we can have fun days out

Keep some raindy day activities e.g. craft things home for the children to keep them occupied when it rains.
Near us is a fantastic park, pond and museum. Take a picnic and a bag and ball, bubble wands and lots of fun.
Getting out and about and finding things that are free or cheap to do such as free museums or a picnic in the local park.
