But filling two weeks can sometimes be a puzzle. Luckily, there are plenty of fun things you can do with your child(ren)! Hopefully these tips give you inspiration for a well-filled may holiday.","inhoud":"<h3>Make a themed day<\/h3>\n<p>Choose one theme together and match (part of) the day to it. Choose an activity, food and drink, music or a movie or series that fit this theme.<\/p>\n<p>We already give you a few examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Italy day: make pizza together, put on Italian music, watch a movie (Pinocchio for example!)<\/li>\n<li>Nature day: collect leaves, look for insects, visit a picking garden, redraw what you have seen<\/li>\n<li>Sports day: mini Olympic games in the garden or park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Learn something new<\/h3>\n<p>Children often like to learn and be able to do something new. And it is of course very nice to learn this together! For example, learn:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The handstand<\/li>\n<li>Make a simple dish (pancakes, smoothies, muffins)<\/li>\n<li>Draw your favorite animal<\/li>\n<li>A popular dance and make a cool video of it<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Go on an adventure in the Netherlands<\/h3>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to go far for something special. Agree to go somewhere you have not been before. There is a lot to do in the Netherlands!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to a beautiful nature area to have a picnic<\/li>\n<li>Visit a new city you have not been to yet and see the sights<\/li>\n<li>Go to a famous tourist attraction like Madurodam, Keukenhof or the Efteling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Start a new project<\/h3>\n<p>Start something your child can fully focus on for a few days. Such a holiday project can be:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Building a (tree) hut<\/li>\n<li>Drawing a comic<\/li>\n<li>Making your own shop or museum at home. With you as an enthusiastic visitor of course!<\/li>\n<li>Planning, organizing and performing a play for family<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Do something together for someone else<\/h3>\n<p>Doing something for someone else can give a lot of satisfaction. Fun and nice to spend time on in the holidays. There are plenty of things you can do for others. A small or big gesture both work! You can for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Decorate a nice card together for grandpa, grandma or the neighbors<\/li>\n<li>Bake cookies together and give them out in the neighborhood<\/li>\n<li>Sort out old stuff and donate it to the thrift store<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Have a nice holiday!<\/h3>\n<p>Hopefully these tips inspire you for a fun may holiday without boredom.

holiday!<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"call_to_action","selecteer_call_to_action":"gerelateerde_onderwerpen_lijst","berichten_met_prioriteit":false,"download_pdf":false,"veelgestelde_vragen_verwijzing":{"titel":"","knop_tekst":"","url":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"meer_informatie_links","linkjes":false}],"call_to_action":"nieuwsbrief","call_to_action_2":"geen","zoekwoorden":""},"yoast_head":"<!--
