15. Visit the library: The library is filled with all sorts of exciting things to do. Find their favourite author and let them get lost in their favourite books, draw a picture, surf the internet for fun facts or practice their writing skills by helping them to write a letter to a pen pal. 16. Visit a trampoline park: Loads of fun and a great form of exercise, trampoline parks have recently popped up all over the country. Find your local trampoline park and bounce the afternoon away. 17. Build a den:Every child loves building a den or fort. Use bedsheets, boxes and cushions to create somewhere they can hide, play with their friends or just relax. You can even add fairy lights for an extra cosy feel. 18. Play with Play-doh: A favourite of children of all ages and generations, Play-doh incorporates messy-play and creativity as they build sculptures of all shapes and sizes. 19. Put on a fashion show: Create a catwalk and let them dress up in some of your clothes or fancy dress. Grab the camera and take some photographs for them to look at afterwards. You may even capture some great shots to be framed and put up on the wall. 19. Put on a fashion show: Create a catwalk and let them dress up in some of your clothes or fancy dress.

Get creative and design your own t-shirt or sweatshirt:Dig out some old t-shirts/jumpers or buy some cheap plain ones and get creative with anything you can find to decorate them. Pom poms, pipe cleaners, stick on letters, glitter… the kids will love unleashing their creativity and creating their very own, unique clothing. 21. Go Bird watching: Spark their interest in nature and birds by laying out some seeds in the garden or at the park and getting out the binoculars. Organisations such as RSPB have guides that teach you how to identify different species of birds. Create a checklist for them to tick off as they spot them.
