Best Budget Winter School Holiday Activities Your Kids Will Love!

The Winter school holidays might be the toughest holidays of all. Sure, they’re shorter than their Summer cousin but the dreary weather and fewer daylight hours tends to narrow down the options for fun, outdoor and, most importantly, cost effective activities.

There is plenty of fun and excitement to be had in the great indoors during this coming winter break which should help to silence the cries of ‘I’m BORED!’, and best of all, they won’t break the bank.

We have some great suggestions below, and don’t forget to visit www.eventbrite.com.au to explore other exciting events happening in your state.

Jolene

Jolene

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
