Fantastic tips thank you very much! i know it is quite easy to just let them in front of the screens but is better if they are kept away!
Thank you for linking up with the #Pinitparty

Great tips! Although currently screen time is limited for our daughter anyway, I’ll keep it in mind for the future. Saw your link on Mondays Parenting Pin It Party

Yes, I was thinking it is going to get harder as they get older, which is why I wanted to start to encourage this while they are young.

Good tips, we do the crafts and baking thing a lot – when I can’t chuck them out in the garden! Let me know about the screen free day – I’d be interested in trying (that being the operative word!).

Keep in touch about the screen-free day. I’d like to get my crew involved.

As mine are still so young, it’s easy to get them away from screens, usually with plenty of free play, baking, drawing or outings planned (and I’m also a big Pinterest fan!). I’m hoping that if I continue to encourage this culture, along with introducing more structured games nights etc. as they grow, we’ll be OK, but I’m sure it’ll be harder when they’re older – we will see!

Yes, it is definitely a lot easier in summer and while kids are young, it will get harder the older they get I think

Some great tips here. As kids get older (early teens) it’s very hard to encourage them to do anything other than ‘screens’ but I’m pretty determined. So much easier in the summer – kick them out in the garden and lock the door!
