Things to do on the Central Coast for kids under 5

Its that awkward age before starting school where they are bored and driving you up the wall and you can't seem to get anything done at home as they are constantly under your feet.  If like myself, you don't have any family around to send them off to for an hour or so, you'll be stuck for things to do.  We've been on the Central Coast for around 7 months now and we are just starting to get into a bit of a routine and trying to keep everyone happy and are slowly making friends!  Yay!

So these are the things we are enrolled in that my four year old boy loves:

1.  Definately start swimming lessons.  We are part of the 5 Star Swim School in Kincumber.  They are awesome and very patient with a bit of discipline in there for those who left their listening ears at home.

2.  Little Kickers Soccer.  We started this a few weeks ago and he's loving it!  The classes are at Erina Fair Shopping Centre in one of the hall rooms.  They have classes during the week and also at weekends.

3.  Ice Skating Playgroup.  Playgroup on ice!  Its cool to say the least and something a little different.  These take place on a Wednesday and a Thursday morning at the Ice Rink at Erina Fair.  They put a load of snow on the ice for the kids to play with and then afterwards they have hot chips and a drink.

4.  Amaze n Play.  Sit and have a coffee whilst the kids play on the equipment.

5.  Preschool.  Definately enrol them in a local preschool, mine goes to Kinburra, I found it suited our needs and our boy is loving it and has made so many friends!

6.  Avoca Beach Park is really good too!  I sometimes park a bit away and take his bike along so he can ride it there and back to tire him out a little more.

7.  Beach it!  If the weather is playing nice, take them down the beach for a play!

8.  Mingara.  If you're up for a little drive take the kids there!  Theres swimming, play centre, the lot!  Only been once myself as its a little far away for me.

Well, that's how we keep ourselves busy during the week and out of mischief!
