There many products I’d recommend to parents, but as parent we can become easily become overwhelmed by choice, so I have picked 5 that stand out for me:
1.Bibs with sleeves brilliant to use whilst weaning and helps having to keep washing their clothes as let’s face it, what child doesn’t get messy during meal times?
2. School bottles non spill and great for taking water out and about, and to school
3. Rubber dice, great for rolling, counting and building. If them they aren’t so hard like wooden building blocks
4. Photo books, great way to get them talking and sharing with others of memories. You can create one from your phone using your Google images
5. Easel. Great for drawing and sticking magnetic letters on, to help practice making words and drawing pictures.

Keeping kids entertained can be tricky but just the simplest of ideas can bring the most entertainment.
Here’s five tips on how to keep kids entertained.
1. Pack of balloons
What child doesn’t like balloon. My son can play with a balloon all day. Why not play with them and see how long you can keep the balloon up in the air for. Try not let it touch the ground.
2. Crafts
All you need is card, colour pencils or crayons some bits of cloth or lolly pop sticks, glue and stickers.
3. Explore the Garden or take them to a local common or park
Kids love being outdoors and what best way to do take advantage and create a checklist so they have to find a twig, a leaf or a flower.
If you leave or take them to the seaside, why not look for certain types of pebbles and shells.
4. Flash cards
These are brilliant and Henry will ask to do these as we use these as part of Henry’s homework.
They have pictures, letters and words
5. Cleaning
Give them a duster or a cloth and make a game to see how many things they can clean in a minute or so and set a timer.

Well why not create an Easter egg hunt, just get a load of chocolate foiled eggs, which you can get from your local supermarket and hide them in the house or garden and create clues as to where the eggs could be, and you can get the whole family involved.
Or you can visit some places in your area for local Easter egg hunts near you. Check this website link below for details:
Why not take a trip up to London, last year we visited the London Aquarium, the London Dungeon, Shreks Adventure or go on the London Eye. They are really great activities but do book in advance as they do get fully booked during these holidays.
You have Dungeons in other areas like Blackpool and Edinburgh. There also other Sealife centres aswell, in Manchester, Weymouth, Brighton, Blackpool, Gweek and Lock Lomond.
Remember in Blackpool you can visit the Blackpool Tower where they have the circus and usually they will do an Easter show, and Weymouth Tower (Jurassic Skyline).
If the weather is sunny and warm, why not take a trip along the River Thames and visit some of the top UK attractions like Hampton court, or central London, take a river boat cruise up to Tower Bridge and back.
Why not go to a Theme Park and book a break away, they are doing deals at Chessington World of Adventures at the moment, where kids go free, check out the link below for details:
Legoland Windsor is my favourite out of all the theme parks and they’re doing an offer too during the Easter Holidays if you wanted to book a break away. Check out link below:
If you are on a limited budget then fear not, there are still places to go for free, like the Museums in Kensington in London, like the Science Museum, the V&A and Natural History museum. Or take them to the Transport Museum up near Covent Garden.
Take them to see Buckingham Palace and have picnic in St Jame’s park, Green Park or Hyde Park and check out Kensington Gardens, where you can see the luxurious Kensington Palace, where Prince William and Kate live.
There are many activities to do at home too, like take them to a local park and create an Easter Egg hunt there and make a party of it, and invite your children friends to come and join in.
Create some activities at home, like get them to paint some eggs in different colours using children’s paint, and why not use some child friendly glue and get them to create some Easter cards, and pictures.
Here is a video by Emily Norris who share’s some activities to do on a rainy day.
Never fear there is always plenty to do, so why not try these out and just have fun, and remember if you liked my blog then please subscribe and follow me on WordPress.con
