Family fun

With kids now on their summer holidays, you might already be running out of ideas to keep them entertained. Crafting is a handy way to get children off tech for a while – and it can also be a fantastic shared learning experience for kids and parents alike.

Sometimes you just need a sweet treat – and quick!

It can be tricky keeping the kids busy when they’re limited to what they can do outside – and it can be pretty boring for grown-ups, too. After all, there’s only so much telly you can watch. The good news, though, is that there’s plenty you can do without straying too far from your own doorstep and much of it is free. So, check out our suggestions.

Our outdoor spaces have become all the more precious under lockdown. From bug-spotting on daily walks to taking your first steps into veg growing, gardening is a great way to have family fun while teaching kids about nature.
