Halos N Horns have recently conducted a survey about bath time which has shown that 59% of children spend between 15 and 20 minutes having fun in the tub.
Popular bath time activities included
- Playing with toys: 87%
- Making sounds: 79%
- Singing: 52%
- Blowing raspberries: 45%
- Playing with siblings: 29% (whilst only 13% are squabbling!)
- Counting: 25%
A massive 73% of mums agree that bath time is one of the main bonding times for dad with his baby/toddler, whilst I think I can safely say that I will be joining the 69% of mums who look forward to bath time as it signals the end of the day and therefore chance to relax!
Bath time is a really important and fun experience in our house and whilst the monster and his daddy like to soak the flooring to within an inch of its life then leave it for me to clean up as long as the little man enjoys his daily bath then I’m a happy mummy.
In order to celebrate the upcoming holidays Halos N Horns have created a free to download Little Book of Holiday Fun which is jam-packed with fun ideas that revolve around doing activities together and creating things. It’s a mix of new and old favourites, to occupy kids at home, on a family day out or on holiday.

We have an allotment so we take a picnic lunch and make a day of it. There is always something to do, the allotments are fenced in so very safe for exploring other plots, some plot holders keep hens,some have ponds for the children to visit so lots of interesting things to do and see.

Picnics on the lawn
Has to be a picnic in the park. Take a football or a couple of badminton racquets and everyone is happy-if the sun EVER comes out!!

We have a couple of dogs so we walk everyday in our local woods which takes a lot of the enery out of the kids, elder one loves throwing the ball constantly for dogs to chase. Also often ends up as a bit of a treasure trail as he loves to find leaves, etc which take his eye. We also do a fair bit of baking, mainly simple biscuits or fairy cakes which the elder one then decorates (thats if we can stop him eating them all first)
We do things like baking, crafts and picnics.
We go for lots of walks up the mountain where we live or go to the beach taking picnics. If its raining we do arts and crafts, have dvd and pj days, make a huge tent over the dining room table…. i have 4 kids so have got this down to a fine art lol! (karacariad on twitter)

We recently moved, were it only took 15 minutes to visit Granma it now takes over an hour.

He’ll be starting reception in September, i’m teaching him to write his name.
I love taking my daughters out for a cycle along the riverbank near where we stay. There is a hotel where you can stop for a lemonade and there is a bouncy castle for the girls to play on. Further along there is a small beach area where you can stop and have a picnic whilst enjoying the view. Keeps us fit, get some fresh air and get some wind in your hair and doesn’t cost much, especially these days.
I don’t have any children but would love to win this prize to donate to charity, to go to Romania.
