- 40 pages for six or seven weeks, treated as the logistics, money and morale problem it actually is
- Six pages recording what actually worked - kept across the whole holiday rather than written once at the end
- Ideas are not the shortage. Any parent can name forty things to do. What nobody has is which of them worked with THEIR children, on a wet Tuesday, at the ages they are now
- That record takes ten seconds a day and it is the only thing in a holiday planner still worth having next July
- No ages are printed anywhere - not on an activity, not on a page
- Age ranges are the most useless thing in this category. Children are not interchangeable at an age, siblings four years apart do things together, and a printed ages 4-6 tells a parent their eight-year-old is wrong for enjoying something
- No activity list, no craft, no recipe and no routine - a printed activity list is somebody else's summer, and it assumes a garden, a car, a budget, a second adult and particular weather
- No screen-time guidance. That is a contested question parents are already shouted at about, and a stationery file will not be joining in
What is inside
Forty pages for six or seven weeks - treated as the logistics, money and morale problem it actually is, rather than as a fun one.
WHAT ACTUALLY WORKED
Six pages, kept across the whole holiday rather than written once at the end.
Ideas are not the shortage. Any parent can name forty things to do. What nobody has is the record of which of them worked with THEIR children, on a wet Tuesday, at the ages they are now.
That record takes ten seconds a day to keep, and it is the only thing in a holiday planner that is still worth having next July.
NO AGES ARE PRINTED
Not on an activity, not on a page, not anywhere.
Age ranges are the single most useless thing in this category. Children are not interchangeable at an age, siblings four years apart do things together, and a printed "ages 4-6" tells a parent their eight-year-old is wrong for enjoying something.
NO ACTIVITY LIST EITHER
No craft, no recipe, no routine and no screen-time guidance.
A printed activity list is somebody else's summer. It assumes a garden, a car, a budget, a second adult and a particular kind of weather.
And screen time is a contested question that parents are already shouted at about. A stationery file will not be joining in.
ALSO INSIDE
· Eight week sheets with a wet-day column, because that is the day the whole thing turns on
· A who-is-around page - six weeks is only survivable through other people, and what fails is not knowing on Sunday who is free on Thursday. Who, which days, and what you owe them back
· A days-out log with what it actually cost and how long the good part lasted
· Four pages for your own ideas, unlabelled and unranked
· A money page, because this is the expensive part of the year and nobody budgets for it
· An after page for September
