A night under the stars
Set up a camp in the garden with a tent, sleeping bags and blankets, and tell stories under the stars. No garden nearby? Move to the living room, pile up blankets and mattresses on the floor, then watch a documentary about astronomy together.
A picnic
Picnics are a big hit with children. Pack some crisps, a few sandwiches and water bottles in your bag and you're all set for a family picnic in the park or the forest.
A personalised book
Create a personalised book for your child, featuring an adventure in which they are the hero. Children love seeing themselves in stories, and it can be a very special experience.
Gift vouchers
Create a series of personalised coupons that your children can exchange for special activities, such as a trip to the cinema, a cuddle, a reverse dinner (start with dessert and finish with the starter!), a family outing, an extra bedtime story, an ice cream or a waffle, a trip to the newsagent…
A treasure hunt at home
To delight children, sometimes it takes very little (really!). Organise a treasure hunt at home with riddles and clues leading to a small treasure or a surprise at the end. They'll remember it for a long time…
A special love playlist
Music soothes the soul and fills the heart… Why not share with your children the songs that evoke special family moments? During your pregnancy, you were surely listening to certain melodies that marked those precious times and lulled your dreams as expectant parents. Now it's your children's turn to listen to them!
A special day as a family
Organise a day doing activities your children love, such as board games, a trip to the park, a home cinema session with their favourite films, or even a day trip to a place they enjoy.
You decide…
A small twist on the family day out — today, the children decide! Within reason, of course. Give them the choice between two activities, two menu ideas and so on… Your children will feel like they're living something extraordinary.
