Build a bug hotel; use old toilet roll tubes, sticks and bamboo.

So many great ideas! The VUE cinema’s near us in London currently have tickets for £5.99 – what a bargain! And, even lower prices for kids morning movies. It’s amazing how little you need to spend if you know where to look 😉 Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas over on the #DreamTeam xx
Thanks for your kind words, as always, Annette
Lots of fun things so I hope people feel inspired for half term! Kids want your attention rather than your money anyway. Thanks for linking up with #DreamTeam
