Usually my grandchildren visit us, several time a year, they are cousins aged between 5-9 and often come together. We structure their days - indoor activities - I have a big dressing up box which contains all kinds of fun hats, clothes and accessories, they adore dressing up and concotte all kinds of costumes; cooking and baking and making perfumes from flowers and herbs in the garden. Playing cards; drawing at the kitchen table; beach walks - looking for shells and stones; country walks especially with activities ie hurdles,climbing frames etc; looking at wildlife and taking home finds. The cousins all love watching films together as a treat. Also they love nothing more than going to a restaurant or ice cream parlour, we do this once or twice.
