Make this a summer to remember with an action packed activity schedule that is full of activities for siblings to do together.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Sibling<\/p>\n

Being a busy mum of 3 kids, I know how hard it can be to juggle long summer days at home with your kids. We all relish the break from our routines that the school holidays bring with them, but the novelty of long lazy mornings can soon wear off and you start to hear calls of “I’m bored” before you know it. Stay one step ahead this year with our handy list of activities, all of which you can have prepared or be easily set up when you need them most.<\/p>\n
