Summer time is here, schools are on vacation and the kids are home. Now, how do you engage the kids this long holiday? We believe that one of the best ways to engage your kids is to allow them to travel and explore. According to The Telegraph, travelling makes your kids smarter and happier. Other benefits include helping them socialise better as well as making new friends.
However, travelling is not limited to going outside the country. In fact, it is better to start at home. Think ‘stay-cation’! To that effect, we have created a list of seven places you can take the kids this holiday:
