The school holidays have arrived, and with them comes the age-old question: "How can I keep the kids entertained?" Fear not, parents and caregivers! We've handpicked five fantastic activities from our Play Card range that guarantee hours of fun, learning, and creativity. Dive into these delightful picks and watch your children's imagination soar.

Outdoor fun for the whole family

Water Jug Activity from the Silent Assassin Deck Our first pick is a perfect blend of recycling and play. The Water Jug activity is crafted from an old milk bottle, offering an environmentally-friendly twist to the classic water game. What makes it stand out is its versatility; children of various age groups can indulge in water play, exploring pouring, measuring, or simply splashing about. A win-win for those hot holiday afternoons!

 Simple science experiments to spark joy

Cola Rocket from the Supermarket Science Deck Ready for a lift-off? The Cola Rocket is not just a game—it's a science experiment with a burst of fun. This outside activity is more than just visually spectacular; it's an opportunity to introduce the wonders of science to your kids. Watch their eyes light up with amazement as they see the effects of mixing everyday supermarket items and marvel at the power of science.

 
Easy craft projects

Air Dry Clay from the Play Recipes Deck Crafting meets culinary skills with this pick. The Air Dry Clay from our Play Recipes deck allows your kids to mix, mould, and then design. Once you've made the clay, it's all about creativity. Be it flower pressings, window ornaments, or imaginative sculptures, the possibilities are endless. Plus, it's a great way to combine tactile play with artistry.

 Outdoor craft activities

Chalk Art from the Explorer Deck Who said footpaths were just for walking? Let your budding artists shine with the Chalk Art activity. Encourage them to illustrate stories, create colourful patterns, or simply doodle. It's not only a great way for them to express themselves, but it also spreads joy and brightens the day for all the neighbours and passers-by enjoying their school holiday strolls.

Get festive with a Halloween Game

Squishy Pumpkins from the Halloween Deck Rounding off our top picks are the Squishy Pumpkins. These aren't just festive decorations; they're versatile playthings. Squeeze them when you're stressed, fidget with them during a movie, or use them in a bucket-throw game. They're soft, safe, and loads of fun!
