Create school holiday fun at home
Sometimes, the best adventures can be found without leaving the house. For those days when the kids (or you) are craving a quieter pace, these at-home activities can help to keep the holiday spirit alive:
🎨 Craft and Create
A crafting day is a great way to let the kids’ creativity shine and keep them busy when you need a bit of quiet. Start by planning out your day to include a variety of fun activities like painting, beadwork and scrapbooking, then head to Big W and Kmart to stock up on all sorts of craft supplies. Think air-dry clay, LEGO sets, board games, Play-Doh and we can't forget SLIME! Premade craft kits are great for more structured projects.
📽️ DIY movie night
Who doesn’t love a good movie? Transform your living room into a cosy movie theatre in a few simple steps. Think comfy cushions, blankets and maybe even some fairy lights for that extra magical touch. Upgrade the experience by making a DIY movie snack box loaded with everything the kids will love, including sweet treats, savoury bites and a drink with a straw.
Grab all the movie snack box essentials from Coles and Woolworths, including popcorn, chocolate, lollies and drinks. Then, arrange them in a caddy (available from Kmart) or an old lunch box to create the ultimate movie-watching experience.
