Engaging Activities for Kids During School Holidays

As global studies advise, make the most of the school holidays by keeping your children engaged in activities that foster their development rather than letting them rely on TV entertainment as reported by IOL.

To assist parents and caregivers, Dineplan, the restaurant reservation platform, has curated nine restaurants offering delicious food and opportunities for young minds and bodies to thrive.

For a unique experience near Pretoria and Johannesburg, visit a Clay Café branch in Irene, Lonehill, Montana, Silver Lakes, or Wolwespruit. Children of all ages can tap into their inner artists while painting diverse ceramics. You’ll find Clay Cafés in the Western Cape in Bree Street, Hout Bay, and Paarl.

Budding chefs will delight in Nederburg, Stellenbosch, where they can try to decorate cupcakes and indulge in milk-and-cookie pairings.

Keep your children active and outdoors by seeking out restaurants with jungle gym setups where they can run free in a safe environment:

Cape Point Vineyards recently introduced a new jungle gym with a separate play area for toddlers, ensuring a fun time for all. Aegir Project Brewery in Noordhoek is a short distance away, allowing parents to savour artisanal beer, piping hot pizzas, and fried chicken burgers. At the same time, the kids expend their energy on the jungle gym.

Located in Muldersdrift, near Johannesburg, Flavours at La Vue provides ample outdoor space with expansive play structures and a large grass area where little ones can freely play.
