The summer holidays can seem like a daunting chore, with weeks of bored children stretching out ahead of you.
This guide aims to bring some structure to those endless days. It contains ideas on how to manage your time and the children’s behaviour creatively and productively, with a handy time planner and loads of ready planned activities.

It has 75 printable pages of ideas, resources and creative projects including;

6 Colouring pages, a Board Game, 4 Bookmarks, 3 Mazes, 2 Word searches
6 Ready to hide Treasure Hunts with Clues, Maps, Secret Codes and a Treasure Chest
8 Painting and Gluing activities including; Paper Weaving, Mosaics and a Puppet Theatre
7 Modelling ideas including; Dough, Clay, a Model Village and an Erupting Volcano
7 Textile Crafts including; T - shirt Printing, a Rag Doll and Tie Dye Parachutes
7 Nature Projects including a Mini Garden, Pressed Flowers and Cress Egg Heads
7 cookery creations including pizza rolls, fairy cakes and peppermint creams
and more!

The ideas are great for the summer and are based on my experiences as a mother and childminder over many summer holidays, but can be used anytime of year when you have bored children to entertain.
