Today is the first day of July and our summer vacation starts next Thursday! For Central Netherlands, the summer holidays officially start on Saturday July 8 and school starts again on August 20. But we're out on thursday already!
For the kids in the south of the Netherlands, their first day of Summer vacation is on Saturday 15 July and their first day back in school is Monday August 28.
The holiday in the Northern Netherlands starts last, there the students will be free on July 22, but for these kids the first day of the new school year does not start until September 3, which is very nice too!

Holidays at snazzie mean being lazy outside, reading a wonderful book. Our most beloved holiday books are all about animals and nature. We love to read those!

We also travel in Rotterdam, but also through the Netherlands. The Van Nelle factory in Rotterdam has been transformed into World of Dino's, from July 8 up to and including August 27. We have already received our tickets and we are looking forward to go on an exploring expedition there! ;)) If you can't go yourself, you can look at our pictures on snazzie this month.

In July we can usually be found outside, so this month you'll find many recipes for all kinds of burgers and salads but also for the most delicious ice creams here on snazzie. And... now that all the summer fruit is back, we will of course also bake ;))

Our July crafts are all summer inspired! We make a cool fan, we saw and paint funny little houses, we make a dino egg and we fold nice decorations for a birthday person! So come on and join us again!

We wish you all - whether you are away or at home - a very nice summer holiday with lots of sunshine!
