Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is the checklist suitable for?
The checklist is designed to be flexible, with activity ideas that suit a range of ages. Parents can pick and choose the suggestions that fit their child’s age and interests.
How do I use the checklist?
Simply download and print it, then stick it somewhere visible like the fridge. Work through the ideas at your own pace over the summer, ticking off each one as your child completes it.
Can I reuse the checklist every year?
Yes — the checklist isn’t tied to specific dates, so it works just as well for any summer break, and you can print a fresh copy each year.
Do I need to complete every activity on the list?
Not at all. Treat it as a menu of ideas rather than a to-do list — pick whatever suits your family, your budget, and the weather on the day.
