happens to be the longest holidays for school children. Although, holidays are
for relaxation, our kids can also learn new skills during this period. Many
schools/organizations organize summer holiday activities. So here is a run-down

partake in any of these activities under supervision especially the tie and die
because of the use of hot water.

enroll your kids this summer to learn language such as French, German, Chinese
(Mandarin/Cantonese) and even their local dialects. You never know when he or
she may need it. Kids that are 4 years and above can engage in this activity.

Food always brings excitement. Kids love
pastries.There are so many confectioneries that kids can learn. This include;
chin-chin, small chops, buns, meat pies, and so on.
7. Hair Making:
This one is for the older kids (12 years and
above). Boys and girls can learn hair making.
8. Dress Making:
Like hair making, older kids can learn
dress making. Having knowledge of dress making can help them decide whether to
follow it up as a career or just passion.
Your kids do not have to learn all these activities at once.
You can draw up a "to do list" for them indicating at what age they
learn these activities. For the younger kids, you have to choose the activity
that fit their age group. The things he or she shows interest in can help you
pick from the lot. You may ask the older kids to decide which of these
activities they will like to learn. Do not impose your choice on them. But if
you must do, let them understand the reasons behind your choice.
