If you are looking for way to bond with your child, always remember that you don't have to spend a lot just to do it. There are a lot of ways for you to do it without spending a lot or without spending at all.

1. Kids find man made nature to be very entertaining. Take them for a walk to see the huge buildings across the street. Or you can go for a round trip on a train and just take them sightseeing. These things won't cost a lot but this will certainly get your child jumping for joy.

2. Go for a walk in the forest and go a creek or a trail path. This will open them up to a different world and while you're at it, you can teach them the different types of trees, plants and flowers around you. If the place is secure and pretty safe, you can even go camping for the night and toast some marshmallows on the bonfire. Again, effective yet inexpensive ways to bond with your child.
