Entertaining kids on a budget

[kitrider 10]

hi anyone out there who finds its so hard to entertain young kids on a budget. please post any good suggestions that u can do under 20 quid with a handful off toddlers!! thanks

I don't think it is hard at all. When they are toddlers they couldn't care less about expensive stuff, and are just as happy with going on the swings and slides as anything else. What you probably want is somewhere where they can play while you can sit in the warm.

Kids will always entertain themselves at no cost

Go to a park, let them run around & play as much as they can, maybe take a ball or two.

Get them a big brush each and play "who can get up the chimney fastest"

Is this for a kiddies' birthday party?

Is the party for a girl or boy ?

The best thing you can give them is your time. It doesn't matter much what you do as long as long as they can share it with you.

 

Baking, crafts, making scrap models, collages and pictures, simple card games and board games, reading to them, sharing a video, games like hide and seek, parlour games, nature walk, worm charming, dressing up and fantasy games, den building (garden, under the stairs, even under a table,) treasure hunts, cheap trips out to swimming baths, museums, art galleries, libraries, (while we still have them,) just to name a few.

 

Loads of books in the library will give you more ideas. It's hard work, but I promise you, you'll never have more fun.

rich tea or digestive biscuits, hideously bright icing, sprinkles, jelly diamonds etc and you are made - little kids love icing biscuits They also love any craft type stuff, painting,model building etc. When it is open (one sunday a month) Abbeydale minature railway is great - about 80p for a ride
