To ask what you are planning to do with your Dc this Easter Break ??

[CrazyHhas5kitties]

Ds5 broke up Friday for 17 days & apart from the indoor play area hell on earth tomorrow I have no idea what to do

So I'm hoping you could all inspire me with your ideas

I'm on the Fylde coast & I refuse to go to the arcades or pleasure beach .
Was hoping for a Museum or something to do for a whole day, I don't drive so have to rely on trains .
Anybody ??

Usually we put money back for half terms. So in a fortnight we'd do 2 'big' days out - zoo/theme park etc. Then, weather dependant, a lot of outdoorsy stuff like parks, walks, picnics. Soft play would probably feature somewhere. The kids also do swimming lessons every week and on the end of term breaks, offer crash courses, so they go every day for half an hour for a week, which we've done a couple of times before.

We are however getting married in June. Every spare penny atm is going towards that, so for the Easter and May holidays it will be strictly free activities only. So a lot of walks, picnics, beach, parks, visiting and not much else.

Sweet f.a planned.
We just go with the flow

We shall probably spend most of the time near home. We are two minutes from the beach and the leisure centre so rock pools, sandcastles and swimming will feature heavily. There's also a country park not too far away with a boating lake.

I'm hoping for better weather than we have had up to now, otherwise computer games and movies will have to keep us from killing each other.

Cinema
Bowling
New toys from charity shops
Library
Visit to Grandma
Watch dvds together
Bake cakes for Daddy

And absolutely no visit at all to Norovirus Central (indoor softplay).

Swimming, swimming, swimming, soft play, seeing friends, seeing my parents, donkey sanctuary. Then up to stay with PILs so I can do some KIT days and dh can pull his weight!

We are going away to Devon for a week, with the entire family (well, 20 of us) and the 8 kids will amuse themselves for the most part. We will do a few days out to the beach or Crealy but they prefer making shows and playing schools so I can plough through gin

The first week of Easter hols will be spent farming them off to my grandparents, childminder and holiday club.

This is good value and my 3yo can get it airborne by herself. She is thrilled with it.

OCD - does he enjoy fiddly activities like jigsaws/airfix kits/lego etc?

A kite would be perfect in this weather I'll have to get one tomorrow - Thanks

Worra I thought I would of as well but it was just eerie no music or anything

Swimming, Thorpe park, cinema and probably a day out at the London museums.

Mil is having them the first week, DH the second.

Not my problem :)

I meant to post ds is a teen earlier,I don't usually refer to him as 'it'

How old are the Children?

Craft/baking --
we have these and they are so cute and really nice quality

Sisters' kids, 5&6 liked these

Days out

lots of free stuff on here

Ds has spent a few days in Liverpool with dhs side of the family and will spend one day at grandmas when he comes home. That's week 1. Next week I will take him to Inverness to visit Fort George and a cheap overnight stay. That's his lot. The rest of the time he will have to,amuse himself as dh and I are both working.

Attempting to learn to sew using sewing machine - dd chose a 'learn to sew pattern', bought the material (with a pattern meaning it was a bugger to cut), had to go back 9 miles to get a decent pair of scissors and after cutting and tailor tacking had had enough for the day......chuffin' sewing bee!!!

We're bookending the holidays with Marvel films. Captain America Winter Soldier last weekend, Spiderman at the end of the holiday. Other than that I'm just going to let him unwind and have a few shopping days, he gets stressed if there's too much on the agenda.

We are just going to enjoy having some time off work and school. It's great to have a bit of respite.
