To celebrate the re-launch of the Bassetts Vitamins range for all the family, they'd like to hear all about the things you like to do to have fun as a family.

Do check out our the video one of our bloggers made for them

Bassetts Vitamins say "we think family life is all about big puddles, big mud, big adventures, big tree-houses, big imaginations, big games, big days out, big messes, big noises and big fun - now we'd love to hear what fun times you and your family get up to which help you bond".

As the range includes vitamin products for all ages from 6 months, they'd love to hear from you, whatever age your DC are - whether they are teens or toddlers - what do you do to have fun as a family?

Add your comment to the thread and you'll be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 voucher for John Lewis.

Thanks and good luck.

My little one loves going to the sealife centre. He also enjoys us going for walks and kicking the leaves!

Lovewhereilive · 27/10/2015 22:04

Being outside, on the beach, up a mountain, in woods. Doesn't matter if it's hot or cold. Fresh air, exercise and fun.

krnries · 27/10/2015 22:30

Generally we do low key things like going for walks and exploring local areas. Last weekend though, it was my younger daughter's birthday, and so we went to York's Chocolate Story and then a Ghost walk round York - we all enjoyed it and it will be a memorable birthday for my little one :)

angiehoggett · 28/10/2015 08:45

We love to bake together and go for nice walks along the beach

We love being outside. Going for walks and visiting local parks. At the moment it's all about kicking leafs and making dens.

lilmiztam22 · 28/10/2015 12:48

We love to play board games together! It takes everyone away from their technology and is always lots of fun :)

JocelynWildensteinOnABroom · 28/10/2015 13:05

Cuddles & crafts. Baking & bouncing. Picnics & puddle jumping. Games & grandparents. Reading & rainy day fun. Singing & squeezes. Dancing & duck feeding. Love & laughter. Smile

Family days out usually consist of some sort of walk! Either a trip to a National Trust property (as we have a membership) with a ramble round the grounds and a picnic, or just a local walk. Funny enough, although the kids always moan, they also always end up enjoying it!

ahbollocks · 28/10/2015 18:58

We go stamping in leaves, cover things in glitter, make cakes, have dance parties and go for drives round the mountains near our house

LaceyLee · 28/10/2015 19:38

Our dd is 10 months so is easily entertained by playing with us, playing with household objects and even occasionally her toys! She also loves her granny's dogs. We enjoy going for walks to the beach or the forest and putting our dd on the swings. She even enjoys sitting in the trolley and going round the supermarket Smile

littleme96 · 28/10/2015 21:05

We go on walks - either geocaching or with the dog and give the kids little nature hunts to keep them interested.

Family board game afternoons are a big hit on rainy or cold afternoons.

DVD and homemade pizza nights are always appreciated by all of us. We frequently go out for cake and hot chocolate too. It's nice to try out new local cafes.

rachelmi · 28/10/2015 21:55

Beaches and long walks are great all year round.

Maiyakat · 28/10/2015 22:00

DD loves to go out for a scoot or to take her pram for a walk which I would never use to put my shopping in, honest!

maureen3733 · 29/10/2015 18:25

collecting seashells and making collages at home

emmamed123 · 29/10/2015 19:41

We just all love getting all together in the living room and just playing around. this afternoon daddy has been a donkey for our 3 little ones. balloons are a great way to have fun together too.

Flybygirly29 · 30/10/2015 11:18

We love to go out walking in the woods and parks with Ted our border terrier! If it's not raining we love to be out and about but if it's chucking it down then we tend to do painting (and decorating my kitchen!!)

NicNak71 · 30/10/2015 15:32

We go through the fields around our house, searching for animal tracks and dens. We go nut and berry picking and fill a bag with unusual leaves, twigs etc, bring them home and then make pictures from our "treasure". When it rains we get on our boots and go down our lane and jump in all the puddles. It's loads of fun getting soaked, coming home freezing and wet, changing into snuggly clothes in front of the fire with hot chocolate.

michele1970 · 30/10/2015 22:13

We compiled our bucket lists 2 years ago after I had finished chemo for breast cancer and we are enjoying working through those. They included bear watching in Canada (which we did this year), sleeping in the back of a flatbed truck watching the stars till we fell asleep (that was quite cold!!) and watching a seal pup be born (that was on my 7 year olds list!!) We still have many more to work through, some really expensive ones (Disney Florida!) and some free ones (seeing a kingfisher in the wild) but we are enjoying ticking them off and spending precious time as a family.

funkyfreks · 31/10/2015 11:12

We like to sit round the kitchen table and play board games and eat nibbles.

sjonlegs · 31/10/2015 11:59

I'm a sucker for a good Treasure Hunt .... If the kids are fed up I do one of my lists of things to find and assure them that if they find everything there'll be a treat at the end. We do these in the garden, down the woods, in the house on a rainy day, in the car ... world's your oyster - and fun's the word Smile

windowmouse · 31/10/2015 14:39

We love a picnic and walk with the dog on the forest

marshgirl · 31/10/2015 16:43

Mainly have a holiday each year. It's good to just be by ourselves as a family and enjoy each others company.
This year we went to Orlando and built amazing memories together.

JWalker23 · 31/10/2015 18:43

Go Ape is amazing for our family :)
