The Works reveal the most mentally and physically stimulating summer activities for children
The Works unveil the best indoor and outdoor activities to improve a child’s physical and mental wellbeing.
All the information on what you need and the budget required
Parents can download their free Summer Holidays Planner to keep the kids entertained
Our children can be balls of energy during the holidays, and with studies showing that around half of parents worry about keeping them occupied over the summer holidays, while 50% also are concerned about the cost.
To combat that, a concern which can cost parents as much as £1,000 per week during the holidays, leading books and arts and crafts retailer, The Works has pulled together the ultimate School Holidays Survival Planner, so parents need worry no more.
Breaking activities down into outdoor and indoor activities (we all know how the British summer can be), the guide provides a range of mentally and physically stimulating activities, while also providing details on the health benefits of each, what you need and an estimated cost. The brand has also included a downloadable School Holidays Planner so parents can plan in activities and keep an eye on their budget.
Activities range from age-old activities like egg and spoon races and cricket to more imaginative ways to use basic products such as tape to create something that’ll keep the children occupied for hours.
The guide also features concentration games, the best instruments to learn or, for a bit of quiet time, the best first books for children, something The Works are always enthusiastic about highlighting.
Danielle Bhaskar, Books Buying Manager at The Works said, “Studies have shown that children who read from a young age are healthier, happier and have much better mental wellbeing and levels of self-esteem.
“Advancing reading skills can be a real confidence booster, while also allowing them to escape, be imaginative and really immerse themselves in new and exciting worlds, full of life and interesting characters.”
