Argh! Quick and easy activity for 5-10 yr olds

[concooktion]

Was hosting DD(7)'S best friend, sister (5) and mum this afternoon. The 5 year old is quite whiney. Was expecting to drink wine and let the mum deal with the youngest. She's just texted to say she's ill, can the kids come alone.
I feel I should organise something for them to do. 5, 7,&7 are girls, 10 yr old boy.
Throw simple, non messy ideas at me please.

Open a tub of sweeties and hurl them all over the garden. Instant treasure hunt.

Colouring (print out some Christmas colouring pages from google?), Lego, decorate cakes/gingerbread, make some easy Christmas decs (paper chains, snowflakes etc).

If I'd been ditched like that, I'd probably put a Christmas movie on the tv, some colouring out on the table, put some sweets out and barricade myself in the kitchen.

Sadly no garden and in an open plan flat so I can't shut myself away anywhere!

Colouring, play dough, do you have any of those hama beads? They keep my 3 and 6 year olds busy for HOURS. If you've got any long bits of paper about they can draw around their outlines and then decorate that with pens, stickers, whatever you have about.

I think Kolo has the right idea with a Christmas movie.

Pop some popcorn and they can eat/ string together for a garland.

Or they could make their own hot chocolates with squirty cream and mini marshmallows. Spike yours with Baileys.

Origami?

And she sent them 20 mins early!
Origami penguins went down well, would never have thought of it myself. Thanks!
