I used to buy the large pots of kids paint and a roll of the plain wallpaper- the stuff thats like an underlay. We had some fun - putting paint on plastic plates putting our hand and feet in it and sort of walking but with your hands down too along a strip of wallpaper about 6 feet long. !

It goes on so long you beg for the end of the wallpaper roll !

Lots of nice walks, local parks etc. Save you boxes, eggboxes and tubes from the kitchen and you'll have hours off fun crafting with these. Get your. paint and bits from Poundland. Watch for things vastly reduced after Christmas nad put by for next year.

Arts and crafts things, my kids loved them at that age, hours of fun
