2020 was incredibly difficult, there’s no getting around that one. Although 2021 has not started on the most positive foot, there’s still that bit of renewed hope in our minds that a new year will mean a fresh start. This little spark of hope is what drives most of us to write that list of dreaded resolutions. Always well-intentioned, but mostly unrealistic when you start getting back into the swing of things: juggling work, kids and general life…

Finding fun activities to keep the kids entertained can be a challenging task at times. We can all relate to the days when being kept inside from the frosty weather meant the beginning of world war 3 for the TV remote, or whose turn it was to play the next game. When it’s chilly outside and you all need a boost, a little sweetness can warm those bellies right up. Who doesn’t love a treat or two during the holidays?

Whether it’s finding the time while the kids are huddled under blankets watching their favourite Christmas films or tucked up in bed worn out from the days’ activities, we all need our downtime. That good old saying of needing to put your feet up springs to mind, and we all need that occasionally, right?

Being able to spend valuable time with the kids is one commodity we all wish we had more of, especially around Christmas. Sadly, sometimes finding fun, affordable and easy activities can be a challenge! So we’ve taken the hard work out by putting together a list of projects you can work on with the little ones over the festive period, all using things you can find around the house and complete in a few simple steps.

✂️✂️✂️ Half term and Halloween will certainly be different this October but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be fun and exciting for the little ones. To help make this autumn half term spooktacular we’ve put together 5 simple and inexpensive craft ideas that you can do with your little ones to keep them entertained.

🎃🎃🎃 This year has not been the most fun but it has pushed us to be creative and come up with new ways of doing things. So let’s gear up for virtual Halloween parties and socially distanced neighbourhood visits! Get the little ones involved and put your creativity to work, while our appliances handle the chores.
