Keep The Kids Occupied This Summer.

It’s that time of year again where the kids are moaning that they’re bored. Even though the sun is shining, they have a million odd toys, computer games to play and a perfectly good television to watch. It doesn’t seem to matter because they have simply nothing to do.

So to celebrate the sighting of the sun and our broad range of Family Toppers, here’s Topperland’s list of Top Tips to keep the tykes under control.

Get Crafty

Arts and crafts can be a great way to keep the kids busy and there are so many ways to do it. Why not arrange a trip to a local crafts workshop if you’re worried about your furniture http://www.thecreationstation.co.uk are a fantastic place to start. With workshops all over the country they provide a safe and fun environment for kids to learn how to make all sorts of arts and crafts!

If you’re feeling brave then you can always look up videos on Youtube and sit and make them with the kids we’ve found this fantastic channel http://www.youtube.com/user/simplekidscrafts which has all sorts of ideas for fun crafts to do with your kids.

Get Them in the Kitchen

As we at Topperland say, you’re never too young to learn. Why not try out a few simple recipes to start and we can confirm that things have come a lot further than the old Rice Krispy cake recipes. We found http://www.greatgrubclub.com/?location_id=353 to be our favourite as not only are the recipes simple and easy to follow but the website has all sorts of educational material about healthy eating as well as fun games that teach the kids without them even knowing it!

Growing As A Family

Kids love mud this has been proven time and again so why not get them involved in doing the gardening (Way cheaper than hiring a professional). Why not try the BBC website for details of how to get them involved http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/gardening_with_children/ start small by growing Sunflowers and they’ll soon catch on.

Let’s Play!

We’ve all heard these words as a parent  http://www.nhs.uk/Change4Life/Pages/games4life.aspx/? Is a great website that aims to get the whole family active and exercising together. Why not pick one of these great activities or games and get the whole family involved?  Even if it’s as simple as a kick about it’ll tire your little ones out enough for you to get a moments peace!
