Don't waste the last week of holidays - get creative!
You are going to thank us...
It's the last week of the school holidays and we're certain it's been a tiresome couple of weeks.
Making sure the kids stay occupied and you don't break the bank in the process.
So as a way of trying to make things somewhat better for you, we have found some crafty and cost-effective ways of keeping the kids occupied during this week.
We know that you get those who make and then those who buy. If you are a maker, then these are definitely for you.

Don't throw away old cardboard boxes, they could come in handy.
The best part about this one is that it is reusable.

If you planning a road trip or may be spending time in the car with the kids at some point this week, then this one is a keeper.

This is such a fun one for the kids and avoids you from hearing, "Are we there yet?", every five minutes.
Obviously the longer the trip the more intricate you can go with your sheet.
