School holidays are the perfect opportunity for kids to get outdoors, try new sports and spend more time being active with family and friends. Riding, jumping, skating or enjoying a game together, the right equipment helps turn free time into memorable adventures. We have quality gear to help children stay active throughout the school holidays.
School holidays often include trips to the park, family outings, backyard games and time spent exploring outdoors. Choosing products that can be used across different activities gives families more value and children more opportunities to stay active. Versatile equipment also makes it easy to try new sports and enjoy different adventures throughout the break.
Comfort and movement
Children get the most out of school holidays when they can move freely and comfortably. Look for products that support running, jumping, riding and playing without feeling restrictive or uncomfortable. Comfortable clothing, supportive footwear and well-designed equipment help kids stay active for longer while enjoying every adventure.
Durability
School holiday gear often gets used day after day. Choose products made from durable materials that can handle regular outdoor play, family outings and active adventures without compromising performance. Well-made equipment lasts beyond the holidays, making it a worthwhile choice for future weekends and school breaks too.
Skill level
School holidays are a great time for children to discover new sports or build confidence in familiar ones. Choosing products that match their age, experience and ability makes learning more enjoyable while encouraging steady progress. Starting with equipment that's appropriate for their skill level helps children stay motivated and enjoy every new challenge.

Families who love the outdoors. From heading to the local park to riding around the neighbourhood or spending weekends exploring together, these activities help families enjoy quality time while staying active throughout the holidays.
Children trying something new. School holidays are an ideal time to explore a new sport or develop a favourite hobby. Starting with equipment that's designed for beginners makes learning more enjoyable and encourages children to keep practising.
Finding School Holiday Activity Gifts Kids Will Love
Think about what your kids are keen to try or get better at over the break. Are they into sport, the outdoors, a bit of everything? Pick things that get them moving rather than sitting still. Gear that survives the whole holidays is worth it, so split the budget between a couple of hero pieces and a few smaller ones. Other parents are your best source on what gets used on repeat.
