In the loooooong weeks of maternity leave before DD was born, I wrote a wish list of things I wanted to do with her when she was a toddler/preschooler e.g. visit beach/zoo/trampoline park, learn to ride a bike, strawberry picking, Christmas panto etc.
This might seem a bit daft but I do love a list, and I’m also terrible for getting stuck in a rut so having my little list to refer to for ideas on a free afternoon/weekend was really useful.
Now DD is at school and almost 5 (sob!) so I’d love to update my list with some fun/essential experiences for a primary school age child. Obviously she is developing her own interests and is more than capable of letting me know what they are, but she does love to try new things, and living where we do certain days out take a bit more planning. So, hit me with your ideas for activities to try, life skills I may otherwise forget to teach her
or anything else!
So far I’ve got visit a theme park (when she’s tall enough for most rides), try skateboarding, try ice skating, try climbing wall...
