Encourage your children to get creative on their own or ask them to draw particular objects, their dream holiday, or a wish list for a big event.<\/li><li>Colourful blocks are a great distraction for children \u2013 watch them pass the time by building towers or structures. Challenge them to build the highest tower ever! No blocks? Use Tupperware or plastic containers.<\/li><li>Place different object on a plastic tray or platter base. Ask your children to memorise as many as they can. Cover the tray with a tea towel and then ask them to name the objects. A fun time and a good memory exercise.<\/li><li>Spend an afternoon baking with your children. A quick internet search will yield a wealth of child-friendly recipes. Plus, you\u2019ll all have a treat once all the cleaning up is done.<\/li><li>Use tape to mark out a race track on your kitchen floor. Then bring your children\u2019s toy cars to play in the space as you work around them.<\/li><li>If you don\u2019t mind a little noise, most household items (especially those found in the kitchen) can be turned into musical instruments. Let your little ones have fun creating their own symphony and it won\u2019t cost you a cent!<\/li><li>TAKE IT OUTSIDE:<\/li><\/ul><p>2.Have a garden? Whatever the weather, children love to be outdoors and, with a few simple changes to your outdoor space, your garden can provide hours of entertainment:<\/p><ol><li>Fill a ball pit with plastic balls and soft plastic toys. Sunny skies? Add a hosepipe (and some adult supervision) and watch the laughs really get underway.<\/li><li>Play games on the lawn \u2013 soccer, kids\u2019 basketball, rounders, and races don\u2019t require much equipment to get some team spirit and healthy competition underway.<\/li><li>Take the musical \u2018instruments\u2019 from point 1 and attach them to a large board in your garden. Then let the children bang away to their hearts\u2019 content.<\/li><li>Get together some plastic furniture and build a fort \u2013 let your children\u2019s imaginations run wild as they design structures and make up games.<\/li><\/ol><p>Many of these ideas and more can be achieved with simple, plastic products.
