Raring2go! PLACES TO GO 14 raring2go.co.uk Winter activities to see you through to Spring Hop on your bikes! It’s free, great for fitness, and guaranteed to bring plenty of family giggles. Bird watching With the trees bare, it’s the perfect time to spot birds and wildlife, head to Burbage Common & Woods, or Swithland Wood! Join the RSPB Garden Birdwatch (23–25 January) and see how many feathered friends your family can find! Museums are fun places! Museums make learning fun! Visit Leicester Museum & Art Gallery or Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre, and set the kids a little quiz to tick off as you go. If the weather’s kind, try the Abbey Pumping Station for some outdoor exploring too! Make a collage From your walk in the forest, why not gather some twigs, cones, leaves, acorns etc and make a Winter collage - the kids can make their own Forest scene! Make a bug hotel Gather bamboo canes, pine cones, bark and old pots to build a bug hotel in your garden. It’s a fun family project that helps insects - and might even attract a hedgehog! Get your skates on! Skating at Jubilee Square Ice Rink (open until 4th Jan) is great exercise for all the family. Half an hour burns calories, works your legs and core, and offers endless laughs along the way! Spot the Sparkle! When December comes, houses light up with sparkling decorations. Take the family for a drive and see how many you can spot! Scavenger hunt Fresh air is good for everyone, and a simple scavenger hunt will keep the kids busy: find twigs, feathers, or stones while exploring local spots like Beacon Hill.
