Happy Family Day!  

If you’re looking for some ideas that involve a tech-free day for the kids, below are a few of our favourites:

  • Visit your local community or rec centre for a family skate or swim.  Many offer additional family times on Family Day and some even allow you to make a splash or go for a skate for free!
  • Bundle up warm and take the kiddies or your partner for a winter wonderland walk.  We often forget how beautiful the world is covered in snow, especially when we’re always rushing to drop the kids off at school and get to work.  Family Day is the perfect day to take our time and enjoy it with the people we love.
  • Feel like staying inside? A traditional board game packs loads of fun for the entire family and can even help with counting practice if you have young tots in your house.
  • Family baking is one way to get your kids helping out in the kitchen, while also having some fun making a mess!  Kids love measuring and mixing in ingredients, especially when the end result is a tasty treat they love!
  • Don’t be afraid to get crafty!  Some construction paper, glitter and glue can lead to a masterpiece that will double as a keepsake as the years go by to remember spending the day together.
  • If you and the kiddies need some downtime from all of the excitement, a family movie is the perfect way to help wind them down.  Either check out a local theatre, or cozy up on the couch with some blankets and hot coco for some Family Day snuggles!

Regardless of how you choose to spend your time, we wish you a Happy Family Day!
