Budget boredom busters!

KAT SPRINGER from The Organised Housewife shares some fun at-home activities for the school holidays
Budget boredom busters!

HOST A TEDDY BEARS’ PICNIC

Sometimes a change of scenery is all that’s needed to cheer up bored children. Instead of a simple picnic in the backyard, make it a teddy bears’ picnic. Your children can pick out their favorite toys and set up spots for them on the picnic blanket.

PAINT LEAVES OR ROCKS

Go for a walk with your child through the neighborhood and find some big leaves or smooth rocks to take home and paint. Once you’ve finished, think up some creative ways to display your gorgeous bright artworks.
