Make the Most of the School Holidays 

The secret to a great school holiday period? It’s not filling every moment with planned activities. Rather; it’s having the right tools to spark imagination when boredom strikes. A movie afternoon on Samsung’s The Frame TV, a backyard photography session with the Nikon Z fc Mirrorless Camera, and a home baking or cooking session with Kenwood’s stand mixer and Tefal’s SuperGrill can each easily fill half a day — and leave the kids with something to show for it.
