It’s time to start making a list of great school holiday ideas for the kids. Except we’ve made

We’re hurtling into winter, making it all so important to have plenty of school holiday ideas at the
ready to entertain the kids! Being proud owners of NZ’s greatest online toy shop, we are literally
busting at the seams with exciting, educational and affordable toys that kids just love playing with.
But sometimes we know, you just want to have a couple of additional school holiday ideas for kids up
your sleeves. That’s why we know you’ll love this list we’ve compiled.
7 Awesome School Holiday Ideas for Kids
Don’t dread those school holidays anymore, because we’ve put together a great list of 7 engaging
school holiday ideas for the kids!
1.Baking – kids love to bake and eat their efforts but are understandably not that keen on
washing up. However, the activity of baking, decorating and sampling their favourite biscuits,
muffins or cakes will easily take up a few hours. Younger kids will enjoy mixing the
ingredients while learning about and practicing their measurement skills, while older kids can
work independently on following a recipe all the way through. Check out our article for 6 neat
2.Head to the beach – it may be winter, but the beach isn’t off limits. You can dig and build in
the sand, create shelters from driftwood, hunt for shells and maybe even paddling if you’re
brave.
3.Outdoor art – one the kids can do even if it is raining! Collect interesting leaves, flowers,
petals, twigs and pebbles. Use them to create mandalas, repeating patterns, even self-portraits.
If the weather is wet, bring them inside to use.
4.Scrapbooking – cut out pictures from old magazines or newspapers, hunt out some stickers
(we’ve got some awesome ones), bits of fabric or yarn, and start gluing them onto large pieces
of paper. Design a scrapbook theme to focus on, such as underwater, or a visit to the museum.
5.Design an obstacle course – a great wet day activity for young kids, have them design and
then build an indoor obstacle course. Great fun to be had building and then using afterwards!
6.Have a ‘spa day’ – both boys and girls can enjoy a day focused on them. From dressing up in
their favourite costumes, through to painting their nails, having a shoulder massage and
creating a new hairstyle, a kids spa day can be really fun for everyone.
7.Car boot sale – the school holidays are the perfect time for your child to search out all their
outgrown clothes and toys. With your help, set them up at a local car boot sale for the
opportunity to work on their sales pitch. It’s recycling and earning their pocket money.
As well as our online toy shop, we’ve also got a store at 16 Mokoia Road Birkenhead you can bring the kids to visit.
We’d love to see you all!
