The end of the holidays

During this summer holidays i had a terrible time thinking of things to do with the children that would be different and not expensive but i seemed to come up with the same old things - local park, swimming and even at home my 3 were constantly bored!!! well now it's coming to the end of the holidays i find lots of suggestions on this link . i know it's too late now really but i found the site quite useful with new ideas to occupy the children even if we won't be doing them until the october holidays!!!
