As the summer holiday countdown (kind of) begins, we’ve teamed up with Where’s Wally? to find out your top tips for keeping the kids entertained on long journeys and wet days…

To celebrate the publication of Where’s Wally? In Outer Space and Across Lands activity books, with tonnes of Where’s Wally? activities and 100 stickers in each book, we’ve put together this ultimate keep-the-kids-busy prize.

Mumsnetters loved Where’s Wally? The Colouring Book:

“Quiet, concentration, sharing, agreeing... and all four of those things at the same time! Big hit in this household” FeelingSmurfy

“Fantastic detail on every page - these are the real deal compared to trendy 'mindfulness' colouring books” debjani

Share your top tips for keeping the kids entertained on long journeys to be in with a chance of winning a Where’s Wally? activity book set including Where's Wally? The Colouring Book, In Outer Space and Across Lands, plus a bumper colouring kit!

If you haven’t already seen Where’s Wally? The Colouring Book, check out this created on a wet Sunday afternoon – 4 ½ hours of colouring fun with a very quiet 7 and 5-year-old…

This discussion is sponsored by Walker Books and will end 21 July

When you've done the usual eye spy and sing a longs, I recommend an iPad fully loaded with something fun for them to watch/play that's also educational. The Cbeebies Story app is great because they can read along as well as be read the story - so they have the potential to learn words at the same time. There are also some really fun maths apps too and puzzle solving ones.

Also - bring an external charger in case the iPad runs out of juice!

I like to back snacks, pens, pencils and activity books. Usborne do a great range of travel and activity books.
