I was excited and nervous for my oldest daughter's first school holidays last year. It has been a long time since I had her at home full time and I really wanted to demonstrate that I could entertain the children together through the holidays.
It was, on the whole, a good time. The children got on very well and we went and did a lot of activities. I think we went to the zoo five times. Carter Observatory and Te Papa were other favourites. There were a few days hanging around the house, a lot of playdates and many walks around the neighbourhood. I missed my eldest daughter once she returned to school!
The next school holiday was similar.
The third school holiday was a bit of a disaster. The children bickered. And bickered. There were a lot of playdates and a couple of special days out together while the youngest was at creche.
This year I resolved to plan lots of activities to try and avoid the bickering! My hope is that the activities I list help other parents entertain their kids during the holidays. I'd love more ideas!
