I will not go into too much detail as that would spoil the book, but below are some of the ideas in the book that I will be trying to fit into our Summer Holiday Fun.<\/p>\n Outdoors & Adventurous<\/u><\/p>\n Build a Fire and Cook on it.<\/em> Since going to Conkers the boys are loving making fires and cooking s\u2019mores. As we want to start camping it would be good to practice cooking other foods – and the book has good suggestions.<\/p>\n Midnight Feast.<\/em> My boys love trying to stay up as late as they can, so what a perfect idea with\u00a0no school to worry about. Now just to decide whether they try to stay up until midnight or if they set an alarm to wake them up!<\/p>\n Other ideas include: Learn to roller skate, make a bow and arrow, learn to use a map, climb a tree and spot shapes in the clouds.<\/em><\/p>\n Arts & Crafts<\/u><\/p>\n Make a Collage<\/em> – a great activity for using up any bits of materials and good for getting them to sit still and calm down.<\/p>\n Paper darts<\/em> – they just adore\u00a0making (and throwing) these.<\/p>\n Texture rubbings<\/em> – we have done this before and they really enjoyed it. I think it is surprising the things kids don\u2019t learn these days (like rubbings) and we just assume they know them.<\/p>\n Rainy Day<\/u><\/p>\n Make sweets & biscuits and have a tea party<\/em>. I like this idea. We often have tea parties all year anyway – or lots of lovely picnics.<\/p>\n Make your own lemonade<\/em> – I think they\u2019d find this interesting as they just love mixing drinks to create new ones. I have actually never done this either!<\/p>\n Play the memory game<\/em> – I think it is good to keep their minds ticking over on the long break from school.<\/p>\n Science & Nature<\/u><\/p>\n Blow giant bubbles<\/em> – we often do things like this in conjunction with our paddling pool, just to make it a bit more exciting.<\/p>\n Vinegar & Baking Soda Rocket<\/em> – The Sensory Seeker has been learning about Space so this would be just perfect. The older two would be interested in the science behind it all.<\/p>\n Plant a grass head<\/em> – we really like trying to get things to grow and the grass heads are so simple to do.<\/p>\n Watch the sunrise<\/em> – but not on the same day as the midnight feast!<\/p>\n \u00a0If you would like a copy of\u00a0Go-Carts, Catapults & Midnight Feasts tell me in no less than 10 words which activity you would do first and why? Then follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter.<\/strong><\/p>\n UK Only<\/strong><\/p>\n Closes 0:00 AM BST 10:07:2015<\/strong>

<\/a><\/p>\nGo-Carts, Catapults & Midnight Feasts – My Fav Picks<\/u><\/h2>\n
<\/a>A Scavenger hunt. <\/em>I used to love these, running around trying to find random items, and getting back first. They would usually be played at social groups where a grown-up would have to take off their smelly sock for us. I like how the book has ideas on adapting the activities and the suggestion here is to do a photo scavenger hunt. These are popular on Instagram too. My 7-year-old is loving learning to use a Digital SLR more so this would be just perfect.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
