Bubble snakes
Take bubbles to the next level with this homemade concoction that will put those store-bought bubbles to shame. Cut off the bottom of an empty water bottle, slide a sock over the bottom and tape it on. Pour some dishwashing liquid and water into a bowl and let the grandkids dip the sock-covered bottom and blow into the top of the bottle. Add some food colouring on the sock for some messy fun!

Miniature golf course
Get the kids golfing early with a backyard putt-putt course. Use any items you can find – rocks, stones, pot plants, logs, planks of wood – to create an all-natural terrain for the kids.

Water balloon piñatas
This is the perfect activity for that stinking hot day! Grab some water balloons from the two-dollar shop and fill them up with different amounts of water. Now it’s a free for all – just make sure the grandies are in their cossies.
