Free things to do with your kids

I’m always on the look out for things to do with Squidge that doesn’t cost any (or very lit­tle) money.  As most of us know times are tough and adding more finan­cial bur­den to the mix isn’t some­thing we can do right now.  Squidge goes to singing lessons, Rain­bows, Bal­let & Tap and swim­ming. These are all things that I do not mind pay­ing for as I see a long term ben­e­fit in them.  Life shouldn’t just be full of lessons and things you have to do week in week out. Some­times we want to do fun one off things.

So to that end every few weeks I’ll take a quick look at my local coun­cils web­site for kid friendly events.  It’s usu­ally packed with fun things to do for very lit­tle money, Yay!  This last time I checked there was an event spon­sored by the RSPB to make bird feeders.

It was also very local to us so we bun­dled up and walked over.  We were the first ones there so we had a one on one ses­sion with the RSPB park ranger and ended up mak­ing 2 feed­ers!  Squidge chat­ted with the ranger and showed off her bird knowl­edge and I was one proud mama! I guess buy­ing that RSPB bird book a few years ago was a good thing.

One very happy camper and her bird feed­ers.
