Holiday activities that won’t stretch the budget

A trip to the cinema, the zoo or ten-pin bowling costs around $40 an outing for an adult and three children.1 And food on top of that! But ASG Education Programs (NZ) Limited has come to the rescue with the release of an e-guide to help parents when children utter that dreaded and often heard holiday phrase:

"Mum, Dad, I’m Bored ...?"

ASG's "Mum, Dad, I’m Bored" e-guide lists 100 great free or cheap activity ideas to entertain children during the holidays. ASG is New Zealand's largest independent parent co-operative specialising in education benefit programmes that assist parents and grandparents in planning for their children’s and grandchildren’s education.
