I was challenged by Wilson Field to come up with a post all about as much family fun on a fiver as I could. I was really shocked that my toothpaste nearly cost £5 this week when I went shopping, which really got me thinking about how much family fun can you have for a fiver.
Outdoor Ideas
- Go on a family bike ride
- Visit a local landmark that you have always said you would like the Angel of the North
- Geocaching
- Go on a nature hunt
- Buy a fly a kite or even better make one and yes you can still buy a kite under £5.
- Go on a beach walk and collect stones – use your £5 for ice cream at the end
- Go feed the ducks – remember don’t feed them bread, they love frozen peas!
