SOON school will be out and echoes of ‘Mum, I’m bored!’ will resound throughout the house. Keeping the kids happy over the summer holidays can be daunting for parents, especially those on a budget. But with the help of our advertisers, families can keep the wee ones entertained, and if they learn something in the bargain, well, that makes everyone happy. In our ‘School’s out for summer’ feature, we will share tips and ideas to have a fun holiday for the whole family.
Get out and about. There are lots of events and activities on offer for kids through the summer, so check the newspaper, local websites and the bulletin board at the library for story times, arts and crafts days, classes and special interest groups. Many community activities such as this are free or very affordable, so they won’t break the bank.
