The best way to help them let off a little steam is by finding a whole heap of free and easy activities to do in your own home. Here’s a few ideas.
Get cooking
Kids love homemade treats, especially when they’ve made them all themselves. So, we’ve come up with bags of easy to make and bake recipes to do with the kids at home – and all using only a handful of ingredients. Join our kid chefs in the Taste Kitchen today for some Rocky Road and Galaxy Ice Cream and discover more store cupboard recipe inspiration right here.
Get crafty
‘Why haven’t we done this before?’ That’s what you’ll all be thinking once you discover the world of crafting. Why not make time fly while you’re at home by turning your recycling into crafty projects like this Paper Roll Shark. And you’ll find lots more easy and affordable ideas like this in our Get Crafty guide.
Get thinking
Keep their minds sharp by setting aside a few hours a day for writing journals, activity books, catching up with arithmetic or spelling. It’s important to keep young minds ticking over. So, let them choose what they want to do. Now where’s that stash of activity books?
Oh, and don’t forget to download our free Activity Sheet or our fun Get Busy with the Quizzy.
Game on
Do a puzzle or game every day. It’s a great way to get their brains all fired up and keep them entertained for hours, whether they’re 6 or 12. It’s also a pretty good way to spend some quality family time.
