Keep Kids Entertained on Holidays

Keep Kids Entertained on Holidays

When you are away on holiday with the kids, how do you keep them entertained?  There are only so many times that you can go to the movie theatre, play at the park and go swimming.  What else is there to do with children while away from home?  Depending on how long the holiday is you may only need a few more activities to avoid your children from saying “I’m bored”.   
If the holiday is a quite long, you may need to start getting creative.  We can help your creativity with these tips below:
* Arts and crafts are one of the best projects, even if you are away from home.  They do not have to be expensive and you can find a different art project for every day.  If you check online, you will find numerous projects to make such as jewellery, paintings, making candle holders and many more.
* Go to the beach.  There are many fun activities that you can do at the beach besides playing in the water.  You can play your favourite sports like soccer, volleyball or simply throw a ball around.  You can pick up sand, shells and other things that wash up on the shore and take it home to use on your crafts.  Then you can go on a treasure hunt.  Bury some treasure and make a map for your children to follow.
* Create an orienteering course around the hotel and discover these areas with your kids.
* Make a decoupage project using pictures from brochures, photos and pretty paper and create a holiday poster with all your adventures.
* Instead of going to the movies on a rainy day, order a movie in your room and have an indoor picnic while everyone is watching the film.
* Book a unique overnight excursion and stay somewhere that is a little different.
* Make sock puppets and then put on a show – this is a great option when it is raining outside.
* Dedicate a day to board games and listening to music.
* Make a scrapbook of your entire holiday together.  Take photos of all your activities and place them into an album.
Children’s activities, especially when you are on holidays can become expensive – going to amusement parks, tours, sporting events and museums are rarely ever budget friendly.  Therefore, if you are looking to save a bit of money and be kind to your bank balance, the above listed activities will cost you nearly nothing or even be free!  Try to use any type of left over arts and crafts that you have collected on your holiday to create new projects when you get home.  And always remember, try to go with the flow and let your children come up with some creative ideas too!

Tips for Your Trip through Scotland

3 Tips for Your Trip through Scotland

Scotland is a fascinating country. Everyone has seen movies like Braveheart with the typical Scottish landscape which offers so much. If you plan on going to Scotland though you need to be prepared for a few things.

Weather

The weather in Scotland is strange, at least for people not living in Scotland. It is pretty much unpredictable and you never know when it’s going to rain or when the sun is going to shine.

Here is my tip: Because the weather is so unpredictable and changes so quickly you need to be prepared for everything. Always carry around some additional rain cloths even if the sun is shining at the moment.

We once went to visit a nearby coral beach. The weather was nice and it didn’t look like it was going to rain at all. We arrived at the place and the weather was still nice. But on our way back to the car it started raining. So be prepared.

Buses

If you want to drive through Scotland using a bus then be sure to have everything planned out and to also book all the bus tickets earlier.

The reason is pretty simple. We once tried to get from Edinburgh to Glasgow using the bus. We went to the bus station and got our tickets. Then we lined up to get into the bus and the guy in front of us turned to us and asked how much we payed. We told him that we payed around 6-7 pounds and he started smiling. He then showed us his ticket and the price on it: It was one pound.

Book buses two days earlier and you will save lots of money. The problem for us was that we never knew where we were going to go.

Visit Pubs

I know this might sound like a standard statement but I got to say that we really had a lot of fun in pubs. First of all the Scottish people are very open and it’s easy to talk to them. Secondly if you visit a country then you should also get to know part of their culture.

A few days before we had to leave we went to one of the oldest pubs in Scotland, it was called the Moulin Inn and was near Pitlochry. We had the best time there talking to some other people. It was really great.
