The holidays have started!!!
Although work for me will carry on as normal, I'm so excited that I will get to spend some more quality time with G and get to take the children out on a few day trips. For us the holidays are going to be about living a frugal life style and trying to keep them busy on a budget. I'm hoping to share some of the ideas I have through the Summer Adventures Linky.
The sun has finally made an appearance and what great timing. This weekend the children spent their time playing outside while we sorted out the wild growing weeds and grass. So we cleaned out the sand tray which had been left out in the rain over the last few weeks and made it into an small world ocean.
Resources:
Rocks
Plastic sea animals
Weeds
Water
Sand/water/ tuff spot tray.
You could also add blue food colouring but we had run out
Having a joint water tray proves really handy since there is quite a wide gap in our childrens age. It means that they can play with the water and toys in different ways with out too many arguements.
G enjoyed making up a story with the two seals. They hid under the sea weed and jumped onto rocks to escape the jelly fish.
Jack enjoyed hiding the animals undernieth rocks and shells. then discovering them again once they were all hidden. When he had found them all again I helped him to count them out.
