The kids are enjoying a much-deserved break from school, so why not make the most of it before it’s back to the grind? There are plenty of ways to ensure they’re experiencing the magic of the season. We’ve highlighted 5 of our favourite ideas to keep your kids entertained throughout their time off. The best part? You’ll enjoy it too! Everyone wins.

Get your skate on

The weather outside isn’t so frightful when you bundle up with the right winter wear and head out with the family for some outdoor fun! A day (or night) spent with family at the local skate rink is a perfect way to maintain the festive spirit. Surround yourself with hot cocoa, twinkling lights and holiday tunes as you glide freely along the ice. Couldn’t hurt to enjoy the exercise after all of those delicious holiday meals too!

A Buffet of Fun!

Mandarin’s make-your-own-sundae bar is always a hit with the kids!

A trip to Mandarin Restaurant is a great way to satisfy any child’s appetite and it’s a great boredom-buster. With a variety of different dishes to choose from on the all-you-can-eat buffet (along with Mandarin’s holiday specials like turkey with all the fixings), Mandarin has many choices for any picky eater. After the kids have enjoyed their perfect meal, they can head to the ice cream sundae bar where they can choose from a variety of ice cream flavours and fun toppings - a perfect reward for working so hard this school year! Don’t forget to add a fun game to the night for some laughs.

Adventure Forward

Our mild winter (so far!) means that now's the time to get outside and get active. Why not try organizing a kid-friendly scavenger hunt? A fun outdoor activity for the whole family, you can get creative with your prizing and clever with your clues!

Revamp Playtime

A family board game night is a sure-fire way to guarantee laughs, bonding, and a lifetime of memories. A little friendly competition never did any harm! Whether you love the classics or have a family tradition, board games never go out of style. 

Get Crafty

The Christmas season provides so many opportunities for craft-making and DIY-ing - from gingerbread houses to homemade ornaments, your kids will love the chance to make a holiday memory of their own. Deck the halls and light up the tree, this Christmas is better crafty!
