Pops has 42 days of summer holiday this year. 42 days left before she starts reception and full days.

I want to try and make the most of the days but realistically if I leave it up to her and wing it we will spend most days in our PJs doing nothing, getting bored and restless and arguing with each other.

I have made a list of 42 things to do this summer but it’s more of a guide. Maybe put each one in a hat and get your little one to choose one out each morning for you to do? If you’re not a plan in advance type of person then that can be a great way to get out and do more.
