This book contains 50 activities which you can do with your children in and around your home. Many of the activities are free or can be done with items you already have. Each activity can be done for less (usually much less) than £10. The activities are broken up into the following chapters: Arts & Crafts, Science, Nature & Experiments, Cookery, Fun in the House and Out & About.
This book has been written to help parents, grandparents, childminders and other adults involved in looking after children keep the children they look after entertained, happy and informed, without breaking the bank. We all know that children can have endless amounts of energy and curiosity; the ideas in this book should help feed that curiosity and burn off some of that energy without the need for expensive equipment or day trips.
My experience over the last 15 years of working with children of all ages as a volunteer and as a paid professional, as well as my experience with my own children has given me the knowledge & experience needed to write this book
