My grandson will be visiting us soon, and I began to think about how you can keep kids occupied when they start to get a little bit bored. Throughout the years, we’ve come up with lots of things we can do together as a family that don’t cost the earth. A lot of them are even free, so over the next few days I am going to focus my posts on these ideas.
I’m sure both you and your child/children (or even your grandchildren) will find lots of great things to do together.

2. Giant Easel:
Go to a charity shop or wallpaper shop and buy leftover rolls of wallpaper. Cover a wall with the paper, back to front; stick it up with blu-tac or drawing pins.
Give the kids paints, crayons, chalks pens etc and let them create their own frieze. The little ones reach the bottom, whilst the big ones can reach up to the top.
Some things we’ve thought up ourselves, other things are ideas passed down through generations and yet other things are what we have been lucky enough to learn about from various books, people and situations.
At first I thought it would be hard work coming up with so many ideas for you to use and adapt to suit your own needs, but once I got started it actually turned out to be quite easy.

1. Story time:
Read and discuss a book or a chapter of a book, make up your own endings. You can even make up your own stories by sitting the kids in a ring and letting them "add a sentence". We've made up lots of really funny stories this way.Go to a charity shop or wallpaper shop and buy leftover rolls of wallpaper.
