Library - Libraries today are more than just a book-on-shelf atmosphere. Visit Tauranga City Library. Most libraries now have tablets or iPads for children to interact with educational and stimulating apps or programs - plus a hall of classic kiwi-kids books!
Home baking - If you don't mind your kitchen getting a little grubby, try getting your little imaginations into the kitchen to make homemade pizzas, fruit salad, muffins or cupcakes. Plus you'll benefit from the yummy result!
Arts and crafts - Try making playdough or organising scrapbooks with photos or memorabilia. Sea shell or macaroni frames are also a busy and fun activity to keep kids occupied.
