Items Required: Tray, Sellotape, Pom Poms of all colours and sizes and tweezer style pickers.

Items Required: Water beads, bowls, ice cube tray, spoons, mixers.
Top Tip: Soak the beads the night before overnight.
Items Required: Washing up liquid, warm water, a massive pile of toys and lots of fun cleaning blushes, cloths and sponges.
Top Tip: Do this on a super sunny day so you can just spread all the toys and storage boxes out in the tray afterwards and let them dry.
Items Required: Plastic tea set, warm water, flavoured teas, sugar (Plus coffee and hot choc if you're feeling brave!)
Top Tip: Have a tea bag rubbish pot as part of the set up and encourage them to tidy as they go 😉
