Tips for entertaining extra kids


nixlo

Recommended Posts

Hi,


I have a 9 month old crawling baby and this week have volunteered (possibly stupidly) to look after my half brother and sister who are 11 and 6 on Wednesday and Thursday. A bit nervous about how to keep them all entertained over the 48 hours! Any wise words from those with older kids much appreciated? Where would be a good place to head to - we have a car so could drive a bit out of London?


Thanks x

How about some time in the skateboard park & Adventure playground on Peckham Rye. BMX bike riding Brockwell park or Burgess park. Track cycling or mountain biking at the Herne Hill Velodrome. Swimming at Deptford wavelength swimming pool which has a couple of flumes. Visit to the Southbank, always plenty going on.

Your combo of kids are approx same age as my 3 & one London day out that seems to suit all

Of them is 176 bus to Waterloo then a walk along southbank where there is plenty to see for all of them, lunch in a wagamama or similar near Foyles books & a look at what's on in the royal festival

Hall, gallery space etc.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
