Ideas for entertaining under 6s this summer

[JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff]

Options limited with no soft play and pool so thought I'd share what I've been doing and filch others' ideas!

This last week we have

Booked on to NT slots for garden walk

Drawn hopscotch board with pavement chalks off Amazon on the garden path (they were dead cheap and quite good quality)

Also drawing competitions with the chalk - they keep asking for "more Mummy scary drawing" - I am not an artist

Also bought rainbow scratch paper off Amazon which was a big hit

We have blackberries growing in our garden so picked those

Made grass pies for a teddy bear picnic

Trying to think of other ideas that aren't just walks around the block.....

"Pick your own" fruit farm

Nice ideas😊

We are going to make the most out of all the local playgrounds and everything free like that outside that closed during lockdown.
We live near a woods with a river so will put on wellies and explore down there
Picnics (hopefully in the sun)
Paddling pool
Local zoo has reopened
Outside garden playdates
Baking
Could do a day trip to a beach
Camp in garden

The range have lots of cheap craft things, I stocked up at the start of lockdown, some of our favourites have been suncatchers, painted ceramic fairies for the garden, scratch art, a felt animal sewing kit

Other ideas, bake, make some salt dough house decorations, paint stones, have a bug hunt, make homemade pizzas, aqua beads, make bug houses. Sorry that's all i have off the top of my head
