Cuisine & Culture the Chinese Family Way
Welcome to my Summer Activities letter R. If you have been following my Summer Activities Pinterest board, you probably know that we have been busy trying to do one letter each day to enliven our summer break. However, we did put it on hold due to an overseas holiday, so we’re slowly catching up the letters.
This summer we have been very busy with a lot of activities including crafts and sports! For the letter O, we did a few summer activities while we were in Singapore!
This summer, we had so much fun and laughter! We did the summer activities A – Z and holidayed in Singapore! But not forgetting our Skylanders! They are still one of the PS3 games my son Mr K loves! He has targeted getting all the characters in each element by saving his pocket money. Over the summer, there are quite a few character deals online and he bought some to add into his collection.
Thanks to Skylanders for sending through the activities book, sunglasses and beach towel! Have you been wondering what the Skylanders have been up to this summer? Check out this epic sand sculpture of Kaos! How cool is that! His minions created to honour their boss on Gandia Beach in Spain! This is such an awesome sand sculpture! I bet a lot of fans would love to take a photo with him!
Just a couple month ago, I was invited to Moonpig’s Spring/Summer collection and now they have launched their Summer Collection, which has a big emphasis on British bouquets such as British lilies, gladioli, sunflowers, aster etc. They all look so lovely!
Yay! We are officially halfway there and we are taking the summer activities very slowly right now. Both children’s energy levels are unrelenting and it’s me who is struggling to keep up!
We are almost halfway through the alphabet! It also means the summer will be over soon and both children will be back to school and I will be getting more time to do my own DIY projects.
After a really busy few days busy with play dates, a Twitter party and reading challenges, we didn’t have time to do the letter H. So now we are back on track on Summer Activities!
Today is the fourth day which is the letter D. We didn’t do many activities for D as we went out for a play-date. So these are our letter Ds:
Working through the alphabet for the summer activities, we have been doing the letter C. We had been working hard cleaning the house and car, so we had quite a few naughty Cs.
We survived the first day of the holidays! We are now counting down for our family holiday to come! Working through the alphabet, we did letter A previously and yesterday, we did letter B. We had a lot of letter B activities!
Today is the first day of the summer holidays. My children and I have been getting busy to start our summer activities together. The day before, I asked them what they want to do for letter A. These is what we did today!
If you like to join in, please do so and comment with your link. I will pop by and have a look. It can be anything from crafts to food for the letter!
Last week, Baker Ross sent me a box of their summertime fun crafts! We have been having fun painting the wooden birdhouse kits, creating beautiful beach hut mosaic coasters, threading camper van keyrings and sewing a tropical fish cushion.
My son, Mr K is a big fan of Skylanders! Last month, we went to Argos Christmas in July. He played the Skylanders SWAP Force and ever since, he has wanted it so badly. Shame that it won’t be released till October! That is a long wait for him. But he have to wait a bit longer so he can have it for a Christmas present instead!
This Summer at Birmingham Airport, a fun and exciting children’s adventure has launched to give the thousands of youngsters a fun and engaging experience before they fly, and peace for the parents! We were fortunate to get a chance to experience it without having to fly!
The Sky Side experience is free to join and will start from the moment the child arrives at check-in and ends when they arrive at a themed Sky Zone. Each child will get a booklet to complete the simple and fun mission. Look out for Zoom!
The summer holidays are nearly upon us, and it’s a time many parents worry (more than usual) about whether or not they can afford to keep the kids entertained. With a little planning and sensible behaviour, however, sticking to a budget is as easy as one, two, three.
