But fret not- just because you're stuck inside your house, doesn't mean that you can't have bucket loads of fun. Have a go at some of the ideas below to keep you and your kids entertained!​

DIY Circle Punch Art — Here’s a simple art project that’ll look awesome to hang even in the living room Monster Blow Painting — Straws and water colours create the coolest looking monsters DIY Foosball Table — Perfect for those of us who just don’t have the space for a real one Paper Plate Mandela — A simple mandala scratch art on a paper plate base DIY Cardboard Pirate Ship — You can go big on this if you have a little more time (and patience) or just really simple.

Fun & Games

DIY Laser Maze — Turn your hallway into a laser maze for some easy, inexpensive fun Racing Pom Pom Balls — Create a racing competition with just tape, straws and pom pom (or paper) balls Indoor Camping — Clear some floor space in the living room and set up your tent. If you want to amp up the atmosphere, go to YouTube and put on some forest-themed background music. Got a gas cooker? – Spoil your kids with some s’mores. Treasure Hunt — Start off by creating a bunch of hints (on pieces of paper) to different items/spots in your home – one hint leading to the next e.g. I am a little North Pole in the kitchen (freezer) or Your dust is my food (vacuum cleaner). Give your child the first hint and watch as they explore throughout the house. As for the “treasure”, you can treat your kids with a small toy, an outing of their choice, a dish/snack of their choice or something else they’d love. Indoor Obstacle Course — Kids got some pent up energy? Grab some electrical tape and get the wiggles out by setting up an indoor obstacle course

Fun For The Tots

Lego Letters — A fun and creative way to teach your littles the alphabet The Floor Is Lava — All you need is some coloured papers and tape to get the littles active Sink or Float — Get out a medium-sized, transparent plastic container (cheap IKEA storage boxes are perfect for this) and fill half of it with water. Gather a bunch of items from around your home e.g. small toys, spoon, cotton and drop them into the water one by one. Your tot is going to have a fun time guessing if the item is going to float or not. DIY Tape Roads — Playing with toy cars is going to be a lot more fun like this!
