School Holiday Activity with a Twist - Toy Shopping

2. Toy shopping (aka swapping toys with other mums).











Tips: Group similar toys together. Agree with the other mums the number of “new” toys each child can take home. Give each child the same number of coupons and they can use the coupons to exchange for a “new” toy.

This activity can help nurture a child’s:

* Emotional wellbeing

Tips: Explain to all the kids the rules and expectations for everyone in the group. This provides an opportunity for kids to develop a sense of belonging and an understanding of expected behaviour in a community.

* Sense of self

Tips: Giving kids the power to choose what they like (in a controlled environment) can help kids develop a healthy sense of self.
