We are now in the throes of the October half-term and as parents we know finding things for the kids to do can be a challenge. We have put together a curated list of things we think you might like to get involved in which are relatively kind to the old purse strings but offer entertainment for the kiddos too.
Hopefully, you as the accompanying parent will also enjoy. So without any further adieu here we go:
Raver Tots in Hoxton, Vauxhall, Woolwich Essex and More! - Old Skool Family Rave Fun

Spooky Halloween Arts & Crafts
Our lives as mothers are busy even at quieter times so if arts and crafts can't be explained in pictures then it's far too complicated in my opinion...LOL! I think these ideas are very intuitive and easy to implememnt and of course look great too!
