Practical ideas for kids during August holidays

Schools have closed for the August holidays. School fills in a huge void for most parents so when they are closed, their children are left exposed to all manner of social ills. School keeps children positively engaged and when they are on recess, parents have to come up with creative ways to fill that void.

Keeping an active primary school child engaged during the holidays can be a challenge. I have struggled with keeping Tasha busy on many holidays. While her programme comprises watching cartoons, playstation and snacking, I would have wished that she focuses on more creative things like doing her holiday homework and reading her story books.
