Well, hasn’t this year escalated quickly? Term 3 is down, spring has sprung and now we have two whole weeks of school holidays to enjoy (*cough*survive) before the mayhem that is term 4 hits.
GULP.
We’re all working parents at Daily Orders so we hosted an in-depth round table discussion surrounding the looming school shutdown complete with wall planners and wine.
The result? We’ve all decided we’d like to transport back to the 80s where mums could get away with microwave everything and free-range (aka non-existent) supervision of said children.
Ha! Failing that? We’ve got a few ideas up our sleeves which we’ve included below for you.
Good luck!

Something Yummy
This millennial twist on the trusty lamington is a baking activity and delicious morning tea all in one. Find me a kid who doesn’t want a go at creating their own rainbow lamingtons…I’ll wait.
*NB: Do not attempt this at the end of a long day, a hefty dose of patience will be required!
Something Fun
We stumbled across this and just had to share it! Twister can be fun but the annoying bits are a) when the mat moves and b) outside voices being used INSIDE. This DIY Outdoor Twister solves both.
All you need is a scrap of grass, and a few cans of spray paint and you’ve got yourself endless hours of fun!
Something Sustainable
If pre-made craft activities for kids sound good for you, you’ll LOVE the kits from Little Green Rainbows. Developed to spark imagination and save you the drama of thinking of ideas yourself.
Even better, they are 100% plastic-free!
Something New
Get your kids in on the action and plan out your school holidays together. They’ll love using the bright chalk markers to get all their fun ideas out in a visual fashion.
Our NEW deal means if you spend $220 and we’ll send you a FREE rainbow notebook planner for free. HURRY, this offer is ending soon!
Something Handy
Sunscreen season is here and if you’ve been looking for a robust SPF for kids this is it. Skinnies Sunscreen is reef safe, kid-approved and has the added bonus of coconut oil and aloe extract to soothe skin.
This handy family pack includes 1 x SPF50 for the kids and 1 x SPF30 Sungel for the adults.
