Nursery World - What shall we do?

It's wise to keep a few ideas up your sleeve for activities for indoors or outdoors. Johanna Burkett suggests a few. During the school and nursery holidays, anyone looking after children will be trying to find things to do that will keep them stimulated, entertained and free from boredom. Of course you can't beat a good run around in the park with a game of rounders or football, but as our weather cannot be trusted this is hard to plan on. Sooner or later we need some creative indoor activities as well, and if they work indoors or out, so much the better. I have compiled a few ideas for projects that I have worked on with children and found very rewarding for both child and adult.
