Interesting Ideas for the Holidays that don't cost any money.

In our Tuesday morning thinking time, Kereru and Ti Kouka children suggested amazing ideas they could do in the holidays - for free.
Here are their suggestions.
Going to a playground
Jumping on a trampoline
Having a sleep over
Reading a book
Spending time with friends
Going fishing
Playing board games
Writing stories
Listening to music
Going on a treasure hunt
Picking flowers / gardening
Meeting friends
Going on a nature walk
Making a pile of leaves and jumping in them is fantastic for this time of year.
Abigail suggested having a garage sale. She said it doesn't cost money - you get money!
Cruze suggested collecting and throwing sticks and that reminded me about the lovely story in the Winnie the Pooh collection about playing Pooh sticks - dropping sticks in the river on one side of a bridge and rushing over to the other side to see who's stick emerges first.
If you have any other ideas - please add them in the comments section.
Hope all the parents find this helpful!
