When you’re on holiday with children keeping them entertained is vital, especially as you don’t have access to things like games consoles. So, it’s time to go old school!
If you grew up pre 2000 and something then you spent a fair chunk of your childhood bored! You know what we are talking about here, you were dragged to your parents friends who didn’t have any children themselves, or pets, or even an outside space so you were faced with hours of sitting in their house listening to adults talking about 70s, 80s or 90s things. Kids these days don’t know they’re born do they?!
