20 Dec School Holiday Sanity Savers

With most schools closing for the holidays this week we thought we would share not 5 but 10 School Holiday Sanity Saving ideas from Pinterest because we need all the help we can get with the kids sometimes!!!

There are hundreds nee thousands of pins on this subject, these are just some of our favourites.

Don’t forget to scan back through Delightful Decorations & Cute Christmas Cooking blog posts from recent weeks for bonus ideas as many of them served multiple purposes.
