Here are some ideas to fill the diary with, based on recent Littlebird deals:

See the Seaside

Summer holidays just wouldn't be the same without a trip to the seaside, and holiday parks offer kids a great opportunity to make new friends. Trips to Butlins and the like can be expensive in the summer holidays, so why not stay in a nearby caravan, camp site, or bed and breakfast and buy day passes instead?

Littlebird recently offered a family day pass for Butlins in Bognor Regis, at a brilliant 50 per cent discount. Day pass holders can get wet in the amazing Splash Waterworld, take in a film in the cinema, get sporty on the multi-sports courts or at the bowling alley, enjoy rides and play areas, and meet some fantastic characters and entertainers.

Perhaps dad could have fun with the kids while mum enjoys relaxing in the spa? Any chill out time is sure to be well-earned in the hectic school summer holidays.

Another fantastic recent Ladybird offer was for discounted family getaways to the Isle of Wight. This deal, valid for travel during the jubilee holiday, offered a great way for families to enjoy a pre-summer mini break, without breaking the bank.

Take in a Show

Why not introduce kids to the magic of theatre early by checking out what's on at your local playhouse or arts centre?

Those in or near London will be spoilt for choice with some fantastic theatre for children, including the big West End hits, Matilda, Wicked and Shrek. For smaller, and less expensive, options, look at the smaller theatre companies and venues such as Little Angel Theatre who recently offered Littlebird users half price ugly Duckling tickets.

If you're not based near the capital, why not plan a day trip or weekend in London with the kids? There are lots of fun, free things to do and see in the City, including some of the world's best museums, parks and landmarks.

Littlebird recently offered half price Thames boat trip tickets so keep your eye on the site in the run up to your break.

Get Crafty

Let kids be crafty without the mess by taking them to a pottery café one afternoon. Little potters can make and decorate cups, bowls, plates and more, while parents relax over a cuppa.

For Rainy Days

It's impractical (and expensive) to try to do something out of the house every day. Make sure that you have some plans for rainy days, or days when you need to get on with your own jobs and errands, so that you and the kids don't end up climbing the walls.

Magazines are a good idea, and if you can get the kids interested in something educational so much the better.

Give enquiring young minds a head start on their topics for the next school year with a subscription to National Geographic Kids magazine, as recently offered at half price on LittleBird.co.uk.

It doesn't have to cost all of your time, energy and money to give the kids a good summer holiday. Find the best family and child friendly daily deals at D3ALS.co.uk and enjoy a happy summer break free of tears, tantrums and boredom - and the kids will have fun too!
