This downloadable guide is a bit different to the others produced by us here at 2Weeks 2Learn. This isn’t so much about supporting you to help your kids with their learning as it is about SURVIVAL! How many times do you think you’ve heard your kids say the words “I’m Bored’ and then look to you for some sort of guidance or inspiration? It’s frustrating isn’t it? We know, we get it, we are parents too. And even though Daisy and Liz are the queens of quick, easy, cheap, playful games our kids still say this to us too. Oh yes they do.
The mental load of being the entertainer/schedule maker/holiday fun director is a LOT. Especially when it comes to the long summer holidays. What we need is ideas at our fingertips. Ones we can hand over to the kids so they can take some responsibility for their own entertainment and learning. Something we can refer to over and over again before the ‘I’m….’ has even left their lips.
AND that’s what this is. HURRAH!
A guide for whenever they say I’m bored. Ideas, tips, tricks, links, information all packed into one 64 page guide. It’s got everything in it including:
Ideas for all moods and energy levels,
new games and activities, checklists and challenges for children to complete,
links to bargains and useful websites,
lists of podcasts, movies, books and games we love and trust,
ways for them to learn new life skills and help out around the home,
and even planners for you to print.
It’s our ULTIMATE guide for the summer holidays.
It’s written for kids aged 6-12. This is the age our children are and so these are the things we will have doing and are doing over these holidays ourselves.
It comes in two parts.
One PDF is the full guide, full of links to click on and in full colour.
The second PDF is the printables - all of the parts in the guide you and your children can print off and fill in - this is in black and white if you want to save ink.
We suggest you download the full guide onto your phone so you have it on the go at all times to quickly grab ideas throughout the whole summer and beyond. Then print what you need.
We hope you love this different kind of guide from us. We are excited to use it ourselves. Finally ALL the information we need for survival in ONE PLACE. Happy Holidays!

As a teacher I often find the start of the holidays exhausting! My children want to be entertained and I’m desperately seeking rest. This guide has saved me, and it’s only been a week!
My 2 LOVED going from room to room with a clipboard, listing all the things they like playing with in each room - this is now displayed on the fridge and referred to several times a day. It’s totally revived their enjoyment of some toys. The guide is so accessible and easy to use, you’ve totally nailed it, again!
Bought for my 8yo for inspiration over the hols and she loves having her own little book to be independent. It’s become her go-to place for ideas instead of defaulting to a screen, and it’s sparking her own ideas for fun, too. I love that it’s split depending on moods - genius! And because her 4yo sister loves to do everything she does, it’s entertaining them both, while I’m cuddling my baby and enjoying a hot cuppa. Cheers!
Having purchased Daisy's books and gained a lot of inspiration over the years, I was quietly confident that this guide would be a great addition to my plans to try and achieve a happy summer holiday break. I have not been disappointed! It is really well laid out, simple to follow and with so many different ideas and activities it has saved me a lot of time and scrolling trying to source appropriate boredom busters. Oh and now I am hooked on 'Is it cake?'!!
We’re loving this! I popped the guide into a folder for my two children and they’re obsessed! Yesterday, I worked for four hours with barely a peep while they crafted, and today they set up their own spa, meaning I finished work early and we headed out for fun earlier than anticipated. The only “problem” is they’re so excited they want to do it all at once 😂 Thankfully, there’s loads included, so I don’t think I’ll be hearing “I’m bored” this holiday!
This brilliant guide is full of easy, achievable ideas for keeping kids entertained. My son (11) has picked it up and started making a list of all the things he wants to do! All the tips and recommendations are current and made by real mums so you know it's advice you can trust. Highly recommend!
