Looking for some summer inspiration for you and the kids? ☀️⛱ Keeping the mini-you's entertained should be easier this summer as there are so many places open! 🥳 But, if you are a parent, carer, aunt, uncle or grandparent looking for inspiration then here's a little starter list of some activities to get the kids involved in... 📸 @edscifest, is on this year both online and in real life, until the 11th July become an Eco-Detective and join the Bundongo trail activities for the over 5s at the @edinburghzoo 📸 The Littlest Pet Shop is open all July at @thistlesstirling, kids will join the animal crew as they learn to keep their (cuddly) animals happy! Free event partnered with @re.animate 📸 For something mystical explore the new mystery trail at the @lochlomondfaerietrail until the end of September. 📸 Sign up to one or more of @make.dumbreck's daily summer art camps in Glasgow, and let their creativity loose! 📸 For the budding adventurers out there get along to the Explore! Travellers + Trailblazers exhibition at Dunfermlines Carnegie Library @dclandg until 29th August. 📸 Let them test the waters with a swimming lesson or summer camp with @aberdeensportsvillage - multiple dates available. 📸 Or maybe the EUROS have them inspired, get involved in one of the @spartans_cfa Holiday Hat-Trick week long camps in Edinburgh. 📸 For the more flexible why not try out @flairgymnastics club classes this summer. 📸 Or maybe its time to blow off some extra energy at a ju-jitsu class with @originjiujitsuscotland in Dundee. 📸 Finally, looking for a family activity in Edinburgh join the Search Party for the "Reekie Beastie" with @searchpartyed until 29th August. 💡Sparked your interest?
