Home working support thread

Hello all!

Home working with children is bad. It's really really bad.

Can we have a support thread of distractions, activities and ideas to keep them occupied. None of this perfect parent shit. It has to be easy, distracting for the child and fit neatly into chunks of time (not things that last five minutes as that's no use).

I'd love to start off with an idea but I have none.

Help!

Stick a little toy animal into a balloon. Fill up with water and freeze. Then peel off the balloon and provide salt/water in pipettes for them to excavate the animal. Bought me 45 mins of silence!
