It's all too easy for children to turn straight to screens for entertainment but with some forethought and a couple of clicks online you'll soon have more fun activities on hand which stimulate imagination and develop fine motor skills when the dreaded cry of:"I'm bored!" is heard.
Most kids love to be creative and there's nothing worse than scrabbling for paper and art supplies at the point they've decided NOW is the time they want to be artistic.
The Art Lab Watercolour Case is perfect for aspiring young artists. This all-in-one watercolour set offers a complete creative studio in a portable case, perfect for home or travel. Featuring 6 watercolour paints, 12 sheets of paper and 10 art tools, the kit doubles as a storage case and painting station, with a guide to inspire beautiful masterpieces.

Liven up a walk with Video Walkie-Talkies from Creator. Children will be begging to go outside with Creator’s new Video Walkie-Talkies, redefining what outdoor play can look like.
Blending classic walkie-talkie adventure with modern video features, these innovative devices encourage kids to get outside, explore, and create their own real-world missions — all without the need for internet access or smartphones.
A Modern Twist on a Classic Outdoor Favourite
Walkie-talkies have long been a staple of outdoor childhood fun — from garden hideouts to park adventures. Creator’s Video Walkie-Talkies bring that timeless appeal into a new era by adding close-range face-to-face video alongside traditional long-range voice communication.
Rather than encouraging passive screen time, the devices support movement, creativity and real-world interaction.
Built to handle real outdoor use, Creator Video Walkie-Talkies are robust, simple to operate, and designed specifically for children. They’re ideal for:
Garden and park adventures
Camping trips and holidays
Neighbourhood games
Sibling missions and treasure hunts
Sleepovers and indoor-outdoor role play
Because the devices work entirely offline, parents can feel reassured that children stay connected within range — without exposure to the internet or social media.
Why They Stand Out Among Outdoor Toys
While many tech products draw children indoors, Video Walkie-Talkies do the opposite. They combine the excitement of gadgets with the freedom of outdoor exploration — making them one of the most exciting new entries in the outdoor toy category in years.
By introducing video to a toy that has barely changed in decades, Creator has evolved the walkie-talkie from a simple communication tool into a creative adventure companion.
