It does my head in too - and i have 3 of them !!!


We do;

Craft box - i often pick up $1, $2 items from cheapie shops to put in their craft box. The girls use glue, kids scissors, stickers etc.

Do you have one of those kids tents ??? We got one from BigW - it has a tunnel with it too. Its great for rainy days. I let the girls have their lunch in there - they love it !

Blocks - like lego etc

Painting.... - i know this can be messy, i love crayola paints, my girls always get paint over themselves and even on their clothes, but i find it just washes off in the wash. Just buy a $2 shower curtain, lay that on the floor, i bought a roll of brown paper from bigw, lay that on a table, and let them go for it !!!!

I find doing 1 x activity per day helps...i.e if you do painting every day, it almost becomes a chore, spread the activities out......
