What's inside

The right activity for the moment you are standing in.

Open the section that matches what is happening now: cooking dinner, a rainy day, a waiting room, a long journey, a 5pm meltdown or bedtime. Each activity tells you what you need, how long it takes, the suitable age and what to try if it flops.

The guide also includes a four-step screen-time exit script, clear safety guidance and printable emergency cards. Most activities use ordinary household items, with nothing to buy and nothing to print before you begin.

This is a source of activity ideas, not medical, developmental or therapeutic advice. Read the safety section and assess every activity for your child and home.
