School holidays can be a great excuse to spend some quality time with your children, but with Easter and half term all falling so closely together; trying to think of ideas to keep your kids occupied can be challenging!

As a 'True Brit' I am excited about tomorrow's Royal Wedding!  We have graciously been granted with an extra day off work and I will personally be glued in front of the TV all day. So what should we do to keep the kids occupied? My mother came up with the fantastic idea of getting the children to make a wedding hat. Apparently we did the same back in 1981 when Charles married Diana, and it kept us busy for most of the day. So I have collected all the leftover decorations from...Read More

Crafts for kids – keep them busy this weekend!

Posted on Sunday 15th of May 2011

Well it looks like the weather is taking a slight turn for the worse, so it might be time to think about some indoor activities to keep the children entertained. For me personally, the best way to keep my children occupied is to provide them with some arts and crafts. My children (and all of their friends) love to build things; they like to paint and colour so the ‘build and decorate' your own model making kits by 'Calafant' make great crafts for kids that will keep them busy during a...Read More
