Educational things to do in the school holidays.
I've been doing a lot of thinking recently (I need a job!), and was thinking about what I do with Liebling in the holidays.
We have reading books and workbooks and stuff, I take him to museums and gardens, we play at the park, we garden, we cook, we bake, we do fun science experiments. OK, no, we don't do experiments. We just blow stuff up or look through telescopes or microscopes or look at arthropods and the like. I'll introduce control groups and discovery aims later.
We also do computer, TV, Lego, jigsaws, drawing, various board games, playing outside pretending to be cats or racecars... I'm really not over enamoured with that last one.
Been reading up on unschooling as I am really curious about it and want something for us to do in the holidays - this is really not for me, as I am uncomfortable with him having the option to do nothing all day. I do value reading, workbooks, creating, learning &c over watching TV. A lot. I don't mind some TV, but Liebs would have TV and computer games all day if he could, which doesn't make me happy. Unless I'm ill or working at home.
So I'm looking for directed educational things I can do with Liebs in the holidays. Ideally to encourage his expressive skills: writing, speaking, drawing etc. And not based around computer programmes, as I'm getting bored of the 10+ computer games pictures he does a week.
Any ideas welcome! Thanks.
