What fun stuff can we get delivered for the family?

School holidays here next week, a whole week of nothingness stretching ahead of us. Can't see our family, can't do anything except go for walks.
There's me, Dh who will probably be working, and 3 kids age 9 to 14.

I fancy getting stuff delivered a few times during the week to cheer us up but I need some inspiration.

I've ordered an afternoon tea to come one day, they'll like that. Cakes and stuff.
I thought about an escape room kit.

Has anyone got any other great ideas? I wondered about some kind of craft kit that we could do together but I'm not sure where to look for such a thing. I fancy making some massive art for the wall or something but I'm not very imaginative. I need someone to tell us what to make.

Can anyone recommend any good cooking or baking kits?

We're all so sick of each other that if I suggest cooking together they'll roll their eyes and complain, but if something fun arrives in the post and it's not seen as my idea they will be more inclined to do it I think.

Any ideas welcome, thanks. I know there have been dozens of threads like this recently but I am so frazzled I can't face looking back at them all.

We've done a competitive jigsaw night which was great fun - purchased 2 jigsaws exactly the same then split into two teams.

Also bought a Lucky Voice karaoke kit.

And a fire pit is great, and can be used for roasting marshmallows etc

Place marking for ideas. Love the hot tub idea but can't see the neighbours liking it on our drive!

Is brilliant. It’s an online game where you zoom each other and use tablets or phones to complete the questions. It’s brilliant.
Not great for little ones, but teens - amazing.

@Flackattack

Krispy Kremes were a no when I got past £15 - for £4 delivery - so £19 for 4 ring donuts. I like them - but not that much!!! I’m looking for activities for younger children. Some great earlier suggestions. Looking at tie dye and slime making!
I think aldi have tie dye kits coming in this week

I second the Outsmarted www.outsmarted.co.uk/ and Jackbox games suggestions - we play them a lot

Gladstone Pottery Museum are doing pottery painting supplies by mail order, there are animals, flowers and even mini toilets to paint! There's free postage if you spend over £30 in February too.

@gretagreengrapes if you search there is a PG version of Taskmaster on catch up with the swear words bleeped out. There is a still some slightly risqué humour at times.
