Let’s not let lockdown spoil the fun check out these,  we have come up with 10 great ideas to get you started.  

1) ITV Kids Create is back! Don’t worry if you missed it last time…we did too.  It’s a competition to let the inner artist out.  So if you have a budding Picasso or just want to have some fun colouring check this out.  it even has a downloadable logo to help out.  Just click here for more details  

2) Pizza making this is a great activity – from making the dough to picking the toppings and the best bit you get to eat it afterwards. Chick here for a great recipe and if you need ingredients Iceland deliver or if you live in Maidstone you could get the dough already made visit here for details.

3) Poohsticks – sometimes it good to get back to basic.  This simple game may be played on any bridge over running water and Maidstone has some great spots. Each player drops a stick on the upstream side of a bridge and the one whose stick first appears on the downstream side is the winner. 

4) Crafts, The Works has some great craft for children and adults alike so whether you like the idea of Harry Potter Crocheting, Slime making or lip gloss making there is definitely something for everyone. There is free delivery on orders £30 or more.  The perfect excuse to stock up on school supplies too.  The Works
