Near on every holidays I have a sit down and find things to do with my kids to make the hols more interesting.

Quite often we do baking which can be a alot of fun.  we make cupcakes and ice them, playdough, chocolate crackles, biscuits, and heaps of other goodies.  This partly comes from working in a pre school for 2 years and seeing the delight on the kids faces when they ahow mum, dad, or whoever picksed them up what they made, even if it looked like the biggest mess ever.  My kids especially enjoy licking the bowl and spatula, this was something my mum started and I'm sure there heaps of other people who have fond memories of baking with their parents and licking absolutely everything they were allowed.  I get all the required amounts and put them in little dishes and get the girls to put them into the bowl and stir it through, we have started now letting them measure it out also.

we often do things with beads and make bracelets, nacklaces and heaps of other things.

there is a heap of options and things to do with the kids over the hols and feel free to add any.

These hols I plan on sitting down with my girls and teach them to do cross stitch.
