Activities To Do With Kids Over Holiday Weekend

When the bank holiday or a long weekend rolls around, it’s the perfect chance to slow down and make special memories with your children. Planning some fun activities to do with kids over a long weekend not only keeps them engaged, but also creates moments that last a lifetime. Whether you're staying local or planning small adventures, matching mother-daughter outfits can add a touch of joy to your weekend plans.

Plan a Picnic in the Park

Fresh air, sunshine, and a classic picnic setup make for an easy and enjoyable family day. Let the little ones help pack snacks and choose a cosy blanket to sit on. Dress the part with breezy, coordinated outfits that feel both functional and fashionable. Your mini can twirl through the grass in the charming Mirella Kids Skirt in White, paired perfectly with the Rufa Top in White for mum. Both pieces are light, breathable, and effortlessly stylish.

Styling Tip: Add sandals and a wide-brimmed hat for both of you. A woven basket and matching sunglasses can complete this picture-perfect park look.

Try a Baking Day at Home

When the weather doesn’t cooperate or you simply want a quieter day, a family baking session can be incredibly fun. Think fairy cakes, biscuits, or homemade pizzas with lots of toppings. To add charm to the day, consider wearing matching floral prints like the Soipoi Kids Dress in Hydrangea and the grown-up version, the Soipoi Dress Mini.

Styling Tip: Keep hair back with matching headbands, and pop on aprons before you get started. Soft trainers or house slippers work best for comfort indoors.

Garden Treasure Hunt

Create a mini adventure in your own back garden with a treasure hunt. Hide small treats or toys and craft a playful map to guide the little explorers. A light and easy-to-move-in outfit is essential. The Olivia Kids Dress in Ecru offers a soft, natural tone perfect for outdoor play, while mum can match in the lovely Olivia Dress in Stone.

Styling Tip: Add simple canvas trainers and a denim jacket for an added layer. Don’t forget sunscreen and water bottles for when the hunting heats up.

Create an Arts & Crafts Day

Set up a creativity corner indoors or in the garden with paints, paper, glue, and glitter. Let your imaginations run wild making cards, decorations, or little DIY gifts. For an artsy vibe, go for flowy skirts that allow easy movement. Your little one will love the Staranisse Skirt in Ecru, while mum can coordinate in the sleek Issabel Skirt in Black.

Styling Tip: Pair skirts with soft cotton tees or tanks, and go barefoot for a truly laid-back, creative session.
