hey Bree i ve a fee ideas do your kid like to do crafty stuff like gluing cutting painting ive been putting stuff aside for a while with holidays coming when you go shopping i go to the cheap shops buy cheap wrapping paper ribbon cupcake cases ect some sissers pots of glue and start making master pieces save all the old food boxes loo paper rolls some cello paper is good my kids are happy for ages if you have old mags cut them up too it takes a while to set it all up but its worth it, cooking is good not just muffins cake ect do dinner for DH they get alot more satisfaction out of it.We dont have a lot of cash so i have to think of cheap things to do i plan a head it helps. I hope this helps
