- @Krissi Boakye Gardening is the best, however maybe not for everyone. But so is printing a colouring book if you don't own a printer ;) ... Do you have any links or articles on gardening with kids?
- @Guillaume Lechat Awesome, do you know of any articles on photography tips for these occassions, or maybe links to any of these activities.
- @Ami Bolt Hi, thanks for your reply. Do you have any links in particular I can use to share?
- I'm liking the CodeSpark Academy app to help kids learn to code. Coding is still creative as well as logical and I'm sure some of the programming logical will be beneficial in later life. The app has a 7 day free trial, so worth a look!

- We’ve been making free activity books for kids based around travel. Each one is 10-12 pages full of puzzles and simple research activities. So far we’ve done England, Iceland and Japan comes out today. Aimed at kids aged 6-10. They’re free to download at deliberatetravel.com/kidsAnd feel free to pass along!
- I'm not a parent ;) but I saw these activities on the Design Museum page https://designmuseum.org/whats-on/families/create-and-make/create-and-make-at-home I might do them myself!
- Great question! :) We've been setting up activities like painting, stories, activities in garden and then as a photographer I've been documenting it all - win for kids and me :)
- I don't have kids, but when I was small my mum would make me look after the garden. Plant some flowers grow some fruit and veg. If you don't have a garden you can use house plants/veg. Or if you live in an estate you can ask the housing association or council if you can use the land for a community garden. But obviously the whole distance thing has to be applied due to earths formal cold corona.
- Hello! We have a page of activities and games online I have been designing, and a shop full of kits and fun @thelittletop xx
- Not a parent, but AM a teacher.Storywriting is always fun, but make it a challenge. Tell them they have to find bits and bobs from the garden to base their story around.They can then bake something that matches their story.And! They can create a 'magical map' of their story.It's a lovely time to get them invested in a creative project!If you need any help, just drop me a message. Always happy to give ideas!
