Just Us Kids Online’s Blog

We recently came back from Sydney and Canberra for a family holiday. Drove up from Melbourne all the way to Sydney and on the way back we stopped over in Canberra for a night. Travelling with children, in a car can either be a horrifying experience or a good one, it all depends on the “equipment” you bring along on these long trips. For us, we know what keeps them at bay – FOOD! Yes, food! So we stocked up on snacks for them while driving up and down. They also each brought along the toys, games and writing materials they could easily use. Their favourite music CD was also a bonus. Now, this can be pretty annoying if listened to repeatedly, so make sure you strike a deal with them to have YOUR turn in the choice of music too! Lastly, a DVD player or even your lap top with their favourite DVD. This is excellent when they do become bored towards the middle part of the trip.

So, what are your tips on surviving the school holidays? Share with us, be it on travelling, while home or even outdoors and go into the chance to win a gift voucher worth $70 for your child! Either share with us under the comments section below or email us at contact@justuskids.com.au with the subject heading “Competition”.

This time, it’s even easier to qualify to win this fantastic giveaway. Simply spend a minimum of $50 (not including postage and handling costs) between the month of September and October, to go into the draw to win a hamper worth $100! You don’t need to spend it all at one go, you can accumulate the expenditure to amount up to at least $50 to qualify. How easy is that! We will automatically update our database and enter your details into the competition once the amount has been reached.  This is an especially great way to get presents for other kids, while building up the amount!

This is open to all Australian residents and International customers.
