Happy Monday readers, and indeed – happy March day! Can you believe that we are already into our third month of 2010? Time does go so quickly! And as luck would have it, today is the first proper sunny day we’ve had all year. I can even hear the kids running around in the playground outside!
This is inspiring me to write about some fun summer day activities for children as I’m sure the kids outside would much rather be learning how to scuba dive than heading off to school! Ah! And there goes the bell, calling them to class. I’ll join their ranks and daydream a little bit about what I’d rather be doing…
Here are three great ideas to keep your little ones busy this weekend and on summer days to come as they soak up the sun’s healing vitamin D and enjoy a bit of outdoor adventures:
1. Let them enjoy a PADI Bubblemaker Scuba Diving Course. This beautiful weather is making me nostalgic about the first time I learnt how to scuba dive. It’s such an amazing experience! The instructors are amazing and they teach you all the basics in a very shallow swimming pool so that you don’t panic or get into any trouble. This was very reassuring for me! Kids will love learning how to scuba dive and they’ll be safe and sound in a controlled environment. The bubblemaker course is for children aged 8 – 10.
2. Send them on a white water tubing adventure. This is such a great way to enjoy being outside! You gear up and get seated in a tube before heading out over the artificial white water rapids. Because they’re artificial these rapids can run all year and in any weather – a wetsuit keeps you snug and warm in even the coldest chills! This is a really fun activity, just look at these two enjoying themselves:
This outdoors activity is for kids of all ages from as young as 7.
3. If you’re looking for something a bit less wet then you might consider a fun Kids Spy Camp where the little ones will enter a world of spy activities like laser-tag and quick-draws. They’ll enjoy learning about secret equipment like surveillance gadgets, and they’ll have a blast in all the laser-beam maze and safe-cracking games. This is one of my highly recommended kids birthday party activities, but there’s no reason why your kids can’t enjoy a little extra training on the weekend! Best of all, mums and dads can watch from the sidelines to see their little spies in action! This one is for kids aged 10 – 16.
