Help this is going to be the longest August ever!!

Dd is 2.5 and this month I have the inlaws and my parents both away, dh is working every day and all DD's groups aren't running til September!! How on earth am I going to occupy her at home?!!

Oh God, I know! I have a 5 month old as well who would prefer to be asleep in her cot. We are basically at the park everyday but have also tried a local museum, lido, a show and the paddling pool. And I have to admit to watching Frozen of an afternoon more times than I care to admit.
It makes me realise how much I rely on classes and playgroups to entertain my boisterous and sociable DD.

Get some little friends round to play, go to the park, wander to the shops, get a paddling pool or water/sand table out. It's hard to keep thinking of new ideas

Can you change your food shopping routine . A daily trip to shops to buy that nights dinner. Def paddling pool.

Library?
Contacting some of the mums of groups and arranging different mums to take turns hosting a smaller version of a toddler group?

FYI when we spoke to one of the children's centre workers she said if we gave a weeks notice we could use the usual room and equipment and run our own toddler group. There wouldn't be any workers or volunteers running it, but the children's centre worker would let us in and let us get on with it?
