Mum shares clever hacks for keeping kids busy in summer holidays on a budget

The annual summer holidays can be a tiring and expensive time for parents. With the children at home looking for constant entertainment and no school to keep them busy or provide meals, often parents end up splurging on activities, food and outings - making the ‘six weeks’ one of the most expensive times of the year.

To help parents save money this summer and still maximise their quality time with their children, CashLady.com has partnered with ‘Instagram Mum’, Emma Stretton, who shares her expert advice on how to have fun with the kids this summer break, without breaking the bank.

“I’m super lucky in that the summer holidays are actually pretty easy for me. My husband is a teacher so I don’t have to worry about where the kids are going to go for six long weeks. It does mean though, that all three of them are at home and need entertaining every day. These are some of the tried and tested things we do to save money over the school summer holidays.”
