[alicetheaupair]

please help! i am off to au pair for an australian family next month for a year and i am beyond excited. the three children are all five years or younger and i know that they are rather a sporty family. i am currently planning things to do with the kids (one boy and two girls) and i want exciting activities both sporty and not! has anyone got any ideas that you could share as i'm always looking for something new.
Thanks!

Hi, congratulations on the amazing job! Sounds very exiting.. look on pin interest there's so many ideas on there especially creative! Some ideas for younger children (not sporty) are treasure baskets, bug hunts, creating music using pots and pans, ice chalking, cooking, planting! Google is amazing for ideas too.. type in an interest e.g football activities for say 5 year olds and will come up with some ideas I'm sure! Hope this helps a little :)

I can highly recommend the '101 Things for Kids to do...' series of books by Dawn Isaac. There is an outdoor one, a rainy day one, a science one etc. They're fab with masses of ideas for cheap, easy and fun activities.

Thanks so much both. I'll look into your suggestions :) if you think of anything else please let me know !
