Just looking for ideas really as I feel we’re falling into a screen time habit!

His favourite things are play doh and kinetic sand, but they’re only keeping him entertained for 5 minutes - not great when I’m making dinner etc!

What else do your little ones like?

Mines 5 and likes to play in the garden if it's nice. If the weather is a bit miserable or he just wants to stay indoors he will do painting, jigsaws, builds stuff with his blocks or sits and reads

On an ideal day, it looks like this - Change clothes, snack & chat time, free play with toys, school reading homework etc, TV whilst making dinner, more boisterous play eg balloons, dance battle, tea, bath, story, bed.

On a typical day - argue about getting changed, argue who has the blue cup, fight over the TV .. you get the picture.
