What age is this Summer Activity Pack suitable for?

Our age recommendation for this pack is approximately 6-14 years. However, we always say that ability is very subjective; what will be right for one child won’t necessarily be right for another of the same age. The pack has been designed with families in mind so there is intended to be a variety of activities to suit a wide range of ages.

It may well be suitable for younger or older children depending on the individual child. The activities can be completed to your child’s own level.

For example, A 14 year old may produce a complex response to a Lego challenge, independently solve numeracy puzzles, really go to town on the STEM tasks and take their self-led projects and science investigations to a much deeper level than a younger child. A younger child may need adult adult support or may choose to respond with pictures rather than words.

It is important to remember that our activity packs are not meant to mirror what a child has been doing in school, but are instead meant to engage them, spark their love of learning and most of all be FUN. Our own children (aged 4-12) have loved testing out these activities.

Do I need anything else?

Some of our activities require resources that you may not have readily at home but can be purchased inexpensively online or at the supermarket.
