Your recomendations please. I've got the little monsters (3 and 6) all week. I'm sure there are more of you doing the same. The weather is (as is customary in the holidays) awful.

We're off swimming in a bit. We've been to the Museum and stuff yesterday (Dinosaurs never fail)

Any suggestions?

Where are you in the country?

Getting nicer today and for the rest of the week. Stop your whining 🙂

That children's museum in Halifax is very good, I hear

Manchester is where he is at.
Board games, Craft activities – Junk modeling/drawing play do – perhaps you could do some of your graphic skills and get them to make robots/dinosaurs pirates whatever it is that floats their boat on computer print them out colour them?
Lego more board games
DVD relive your youth Yellow Submarine works for me at the minute followed by Beatles sing song

I'm in Manchester. No shortage of stuff to do I suppose

Having the kids for a week you hemorrhage money faster than a crack addict

Take them out in the rain kids love getting wet, a walk in the woods, climb a hill, look for frogs or just a bit of jump on puddles.

a walk in the woods

The last time binners went to the woods, all sorts of weird stuff was going on…

Are 3 and 6 too young for the Blue John Cavern and the like?

Get them to polish the spokes on your bike, their small hands will be able to get to the awkward difficult to get to bits. Then after that they can polish the hubs.

Right. We're off to see space chimps 🙂
