Is it STILL the school holidays? Fear not. If you've run out of time and energy to entertain your brood I have a fabulous recommendation for indoor or outdoor play which will also get them away from screens.
I've not met the child yet who doesn't enjoy slime and I recall one year when kitchens across my village were taken over by youngsters making their own to sell/share. Yes it's very creative but if you (like me) prefer to avoid the stress and mess you could just check out the slime fun range from Canal Toys, suitable for anyone over the age of 3.

A few tips - slime could damage some surfaces so I'd get them to play with it on a mat or wipeable tablecloth. Make sure they wash their hands after use as slime contains fragrance and you don't want them ingesting or getting any in their eyes. Make sure they understand that slime is not edible, no matter how delicious it looks or smells!
