Hi,

This is a nice article….I know how restless kids can get when they have a lot of time and have nothing to do. I guess this is pretty much everyday. :-)

Anyways…I always find doing some simple activities are always good. It keeps the kids engaged and also keeps them busy. In addition to that, they also learn new fact and much more when they do some educational activities. So, my best friend is google in this case since I always search to find new articles to do with the kids.

I just came across this new site that also provides free child care resources to everyone out there. It updates new articles quite often as well. It also comes with forum where you can get your questions answered if you need help. So I thought I will share this with you all if its gonna help any mums out there. The site is http://www.aussiechildcarenetwork.com/

So, enjoy watching your kids grow in front of you. You are a big part of their development.

summer camps are getting more and more expensive. I think that is you have a stay at home mom, she should be watch over the kids as they entertain themselves at home.

Great post! Yes there are so many alternative ways to keep the kids entertained in their summer vacation although they cannot go to summer camps.

It does seem a little bit crazy!I used to enjoy summer camps and it is quite sad to hear about!
Hopefully that will change in the near future!

This works for active day care businesses too. I think that having the right activities makes all the difference – thank you for the book suggestion I want to add this to our site as well as the information on starting a day care.
