half term activity ideas needed - pretty please

[*Jigsaw*]

Ive got 3 children who i would normally have just after school from 8-1 tomorrow plus my 2 girls and another little girl who i would normally have during the day.

the ages are :

1x 2.5yr old
1x 3.5yr old
3x 5yr olds
1x 7yr old

2 of the 5yr olds i have to drop to their football club at 10am for the day so only have them for 2hours.

my query is I cant drive anywhere as they wont all fit in my car and I think the weather is going to be to yuck to walk to the park

so between 8-10 I will have 6 kids then 10-1 i will have 4, so thats stiilll a llot of kids cooped up in the house !

I desparetly needing some activity ideas !!!

thanks in advance xx

You could go back to the weekend and Chinese New Year!

There are lots of activity ideas knocking around the forum if you run a search

We made vegsoup and bread rolls this morning - that took up a lot of time ( and provided lunch )

Can you go somewhere by bus or train ?

We went on the train to the airport today. Some children never get to use public transport so it's very exciting !

My older ones love making their own Pizza's. We have that organised for tomorrow and perhaps I will chuck a load of craft stuff on the table and let them get on with it. Having said that, I only have 2 tomorrow who are 9 and 11 and my own 7 year old.

Big roll of old wallpaper - pencils


Banana muffins - all have a stir - talk about the colours, mix, mix, mix


Recipe is on here somewhere.



Dance to music - it's quite stress relieving - I put on music I like

We made some Rocky road today, mindees and parents loved this as its so tasty, but I'm not going to reccomend this activity because I've eaten far too much of it this evening and now feel sick lol !!
