Thankfully, there’s no shortage of fun things to do with your kids in November. If your family’s vaccinated from COVID-19, then it’ll be even easier to plan family outings as from Nov 10 onwards you’ll be able to dine out in groups of 5!
So without further ado, here are some fun school holiday activities to do with your kids in November 2021!

This is more suitable for younger kids and toddlers, as your little ones will be creating their own animals such as cat, dogs and birds using kid-friendly materials such as wooden spoons and coloured paper.
Not only is this a fun hands-on activity to get your kids’ creative juices flowing but it’s educational as well! During the session, your kids will also learn trivia about animals such as the migration patterns of birds.
At the end of the day, your kids will be able to bring back their own crafts for memories.
