Summer Bucket List
Summer Bucket List
With a few weeks of the summer holidays left, we thought we'd get together a few fun ideas for things to do with the kids before the new school year starts in September. It's a nice list to pop on the fridge and have there ready for days when you're looking for some inspiration for things to do. We've categorised the ideas by things you can do at home, outdoor adventures and days out.
Why not grab a piece of paper and some pens and jot down a few of these ideas to create your own summer bucket list with the kids? It's great fun and a nice memento of all the lovely things you did over summer, no matter how small.
