Easter EggVeneryInspiration With Easter Sunday just a few days away, you have no doubt begun to scour your home and garden for towardly Easter Egg hiding places. Every year as your children get older, and increasingly wits at finding your hidey holes, you need to come up with new and ingenious ways to disguise the chocolate. We’re here to help with some suggestions you may not yet have deployed in your family’s history of Easter egg hunts. 1.HibernateClues Not Eggs It’s looking like a rainy few days coming up so it’s not going to be a unconfined idea to hibernate your Easter eggs out in the garden – unless your kids like them wet and soggy. But you may find successfully hiding them in the house a little too tricky. The solution? Don’t hibernate the eggs, take them hostage instead. Lock them up in a box (you can just use a wafer-thin box with a velocipede padlock), and plant a number of clues virtually the house and garden that will lead your children to the location of the key / passcode for the lock. 2. Plastic Egg TreasureVeneryIf you want to get them outside, scatter plastic eggs virtually the garden and tell the children they can only have their eggs once they’ve hunted them all down. Use variegated coloured eggs for each child so the game isn’t spoiled by one over-enthusiastic finder. 3. Hiding places in the bedroom There are plenty of places to hibernate an Easter egg in a child’s bedroom. Here are a few suggestions: - Suspended over the when of the door – children will quickly squint overdue a door, but they’ll likely only squint lanugo at the carpet. If you can loop some string virtually the box and suspend it over the when of the door, with the other end of the string tied to the door handle it will be a while surpassing they find it up there. - Buried in suit drawers - Snuggled in with all the soft toys. - On the bookshelf – particularly constructive on an orderly bookshelf where the box lines up neatly with the other books. 4. Hiding Places Downstairs If your children share a bedroom, or perhaps you’d just prefer to spread them out virtually your house for the egg hunt, there are a good number of hiding places to be found downstairs. - In the washing machine and tumble dryer – just make sure nobody turns them on. - In the hoods of coats hanging up – nobody thinks to squint up high. - On bookshelves. -Virtuallythe when of the TV, so long as it can be accessed hands without tripping over wires. - On the seats of chairs pushed under the dining table. 5. Hiding Places In The Garden If you have sheltered, dry places like a playhouse, you could hibernate all the Easter Eggs in one spot and plant clues virtually the garden leading to them. Otherwise pop out early in the morning when the children are still sleeping (if it’s not raining) and hibernate them all virtually the garden. Make sure you stand each egg box on something waterproof or they will suck the moisture out of the ground and be ruined. On top of the climbing frame, on swing seats, at the top of the slide and on the trampoline are all places that can be zestless off and used to hibernate Easter eggs. With the Easter Holidays under-way, you’ll be needing increasingly inspriation for outdoor play (like the rhyme?), so trammels out the rest of the Wicken Toys blog.

Solar Eclipse Inspired Games For Children Today we understand that a solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon, an occasional reminder of our place in the Universe. We understand that whether we protract well-nigh our day, stop and observe it quietly, or run virtually shrieking like a headless chicken, without a few minutes the Moon will pass on by, the Sun will shine fiercely onto our planet once more, and normality will be restored. But for warmed-over civilisations solar eclipses were untellable to explain, and were often met with a sense of terror. Use these games to explain how solar eclipses have been understood over thousands of years.Warmed-overChina -ZingerThe Drums In warmed-over China it was believed demons were attempting to steal the Sun. The people would flock together during an eclipse and zinger pots and pans as loudly as they can to scare yonder the demons. To recreate this in a game you will need a big yellow wittiness or unlearn to be the Sun, and whatever noisy implements you can find (saucepans and wooden spoons should do the trick). Your children can be the demons to start with. Their job is to try to steal the Sun from wherever you’ve chosen to exhibit it. If you reservation them, you must zinger as loud as you can, and they will welsh their efforts. This is a unconfined game considering provided you alimony an eagle-eye out for little demons, you can get on with some chores while the little ones are plotting their plan of attack. You could just play for fun, set up a points system or plane offer yummy rewards for successful total eclipses. If your children fancy a turn banging the pots, just switch roles. Vietnam - The Giant Frog In Vietnamese culture it was believed that the Sun disappeared as a result of a giant frog taking a zest out of it. Of undertow the Sun was too powerful for the frog and without urgent his mouth the frog let the Sun go free. Turn the archetype ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf’ into the Giant Frog game. Your children are giant frogs and you are guarding the Sun (use a pile of yellow gown or a Sun made from segments of yellow card). The children undeniability out ‘what’s the time’ and when you wordplay them they must jump forward like frogs, instead of taking strides. Every time a child successfully reaches you they can take a piece of the Sun and run when to base. But if the Sun gets angry, you must ventilator the Giant frogs away. For older children you can make the game increasingly challenging by putting the Sun on top of the climbing frame or at the top of the slide. Vikings - The Chariot And The Wolves The Vikings believed the Sun was pulled virtually on the when of a chariot, perpetually chased by wolves. Every now and then a wolf would reservation up and take a zest out of the Sun, causing the darkness, surpassing the chariot sped away, taking the Sun to safety. You can recreate this story with a simple game of chase, each taking turns to be the wolf or the Sun.

Games, Crafts And Activities For Mother’s Day Straight up, hand this blog post over to the Dads. These are fun things to do on Mother’s Day, so Mums, you shouldn’t be doing all the prep for this. There’ a combination of crafts and games included here, so whatever the weather you’ll find something to alimony them rented with. Make AVellumNothing says appreciation like a handmade cards. Older children can colour or paint whatever they like, but younger children may need a little direction. Cut out some flower shapes for them to colour and stick on, or use finger painting to make hearts and flowers shapes. Cooking For Mum The easiest thing to melt for mum is pancakes. Little ones can help one-liner eggs, measure ingredients and mix the batter. Older children can pour the thrash into the frying pan. Dad’s in tuition of flipping the pancakes. Cup cakes are moreover a good thing for children to make. As with the pancakes, mixing the thrash is a child-friendly activity, and once the cakes are cooked and cooled, icing and decorating is super-fun, if a little messy. KissVentilatorThe ultimate game of love and unhealthfulness - kiss chase. But instead of Mum chasing the children, this time it’s their turn to run without Mum, capture her, and imbricate her with kisses. Heart TreasureVeneryCut up little heart shapes and have your children hibernate them all over the garden - under rocks, on the climbing frame, under the trampoline, wherever they can safely reach. Make sure Mum doesn’t see what you’re doing. Now get Mum into the garden and time how long it takes her to find them. The children can help her venery them lanugo by giving clues of hot and cold. Repeat until Mum is exhausted, or swap over and hibernate the hearts for somebody else to find. Nature’s Gifts Go for a walk withal the waterfront or the park, somewhere you will find plenty of pretty things lying around. Ask your children to venery for a thing of eyeful for Mum. When they hand it over, whether it’s a stone, a leaf, a conker, ask them to explain why they chose it. Mum will treasure that story every time she looks at the object. Guessing Game How well do we know Mum? This is like the old Mr & Mrs quiz. Ask questions like ‘what is Mum’s favourite colour?’ and ‘what is Mum’s favourite snack?’. If you have older children they can write lanugo their guess surpassing Mum reveals the answer. For younger children, have Mum write the wordplay secretly, then the children can guess outloud. Mum Says Like Simon Says, but it’s Mum giving the instructions. Imagine her joy when everyone just does as she asks for a whole 10 minutes without complaining.

Solar Eclipse Special: How To Watch AND Explain It... ...because you know all you'll hear is 'why? Whhhhhyyyyyy? But whhhhy Mummy whyyyyyyy?' On Friday 20th March, much of the country will be plunged into darkness as we wits the first solar eclipse in 16 years. Most areas will wits an 85-90% eclipse, but some lucky folk, right on the tip of the British Isles will see a full eclipse. Here are our top tips on watching the eclipse safely and explaining the science overdue it. Watching Safely There are specially designed eclipse glasses misogynist to buy online. Be sure you are ownership from a reputable seller, and trammels there are no scratches or lens forfeiture to the glasses surpassing you use them. Make sure children fully understand that they should never squint directly at the Sun, plane when the majority of it is obscured by the moon.Planewith the glasses on it is only prudent to squint at the Sun for a few minutes surpassing taking a unravel to rest your eyes. A safer way, expressly for younger children, is to use a pinhole projector. This funnels the light through a small hole, then projects the image onto a piece of paper. Unlike the glasses which can only be used by one child at a time, you can have multiple children looking at the projector image at the same time. And they will have their backs to the Sun, making it much easier for you to supervise them and alimony them safe. The Science Bit A solar eclipse is a wonderful opportunity for children and adults unwrinkled to come to fully wits their place in the Universe. A well-constructed solar eclipse is possible considering although the Moon 400 times smaller than the Sun, the Sun is 400 times remoter yonder from Earth than the Moon. So when the two are in perfect alignment, it appears as if the Moon and Sun are the same size. A scale model would take you a while to produce, but you can explain the principles using a few toys. Hold a tennis wittiness and a ping pong ball, one in each hand, and ask your children which is biggest. Now take have one child stand at one end of the garden holding the tennis wittiness out, and flipside children at the other end, looking as if from Earth. You stand in the middle holding the ping pong ball, slowly stepping closer and closer to the observer until the ping pong wittiness has completely obstructed their view of the tennis ball.Flipsidefun way to demonstrate the effect loftiness has on our perspective of size is to turn your children into giants. Now they know once that their thumbs are not as big as the cat, dog or Mum’s head. But send them to the top of the climbing frame and ask them to imagine squishing unprepossessing or human passers by with just their thumbs and see what happens. They should start giggling when they realize their hands squint giant when compared to people on the ground a few metres away.

Here’s how to let the kids run self-ruling without obliterating the lawn. 1.RequiteUp Decide now if you superintendency well-nigh having any sort of lawn for the next three months. Not bothered? Great, let the kids roam self-ruling and get all muddied up. There’s nothing wrong with that. Come the summer you will have a patchy looking lawn - not pretty to squint at but still perfectly fine to play on.

Skittles, hopscotch, and reservation can all be played without running on the grass. 3.UpperTraffic Areas If you have play equipment like a climbing frame or a trampoline, you could section off upper traffic areas and simply winnow these will be destroyed, while alimony the rest of the garden as a child self-ruling zone. If the grass does get ruined in these walkways consider replacing it with something harder wearing like safety mats or yelp chippings. 4. Replace It If a swamp-like lawn is a persistent problem and it is impacting on the enjoyment you and your family get from your garden consider replacing it with an strained surface, You can get something colourful and wacky, or a very life-like alternatives.

Games You Can Play In The Rain So half-term is here, and unless you’re prepared to embrace the rain, there’s a good endangerment you’ll be stuck indoors for the rest of the week. And indoors is no fun, so here are some outdoor games you can play that take wholesomeness of the wet weather. Make A Rainbow Use coloured chalks to create trappy patterns on a piece of paper, then hold it out in the rain and let the raindrops create a magical picture.VentilatorThe Rain Watch where the rain collects and follow its journey as it flows lanugo slopes and finds the nearest drain. This game is a unconfined way to make going for a rainy walk virtually the neighbourhood increasingly fun. Puddle Jumps Not in them. Try jumping over them. Find the biggest puddle you can and see if you can well-spoken it in one jump. Listen Just stop moving and listen to the sounds of the raindrops falling. Can your children hear the difference between rain falling on a car and the rain falling on leaves. This is a unconfined worriedness for the end of the day if you are wanting to wifely the mood lanugo a little. SideWalk Chalk Make chalk paintings by creating works of art on the patio and letting the rain tousle the colours together. Mud Kitchen Go vastitude vital mud pies to create a whole variety of culinary earthy delights. Create a bespoke mud kitchen by taking unseemly utensils and mixing bowls outside to a grassless patch of ground. ObstacleUndertowFor older children you could add a little rainbow suffuse into the mix and create a super slippery obstacle course. Avoid including climbing or activities at heights. Stick to slipping underneath obstacles and squirming virtually hurdles. Create A Weather Station If the wet weather is set to stick virtually for a while you could set up a weather station to measure the rainfall over the week. Use an empty jam jar and tape a ruler to the inside. At the same time every day go outside and record how much is in the jar and tip it out. If it’s raining really nonflexible you could well-constructed hourly checks. Plot your findings on a orchestration to squint for patterns. Wet Weather Safety It’s unconfined to get outside come rain or shine, but there are a few uneaten safety precautions you should take when playing in wet weather. If the ground was nonflexible surpassing the rain fall, the grass will be very slick, so children should be shielding when running as their feet may slip out from underneath them.

How To Make Your Own Water Wall This maybe seems a little crazy for a February activity, but there’s a lot of good reasons to set your waterwall up now. Kids love playing with water no matter what the weather. And as there’s no need for them to get (too) wet when enjoying this activity, you can wrap them up warm so they won’t finger the cold. Plus if it's a rainy day, just looking at the rain’s journey through the waterwall is fun. If you’re still getting frosts where you live, it would be weightier to wait a few increasingly weeks for the night’s to warm up. If the plastic gets frozen it may wilt brittle, creating a wrenched water wall and potentially sharp edges.Unchanginglyrequite your waterwall a thorough inspection surpassing use. Be Inspired The first step towards creating this unseemly and easy play centre is to get inspired. There are some fab images on Pinterest you can use, but moreover squint virtually at the water play centres misogynist online for ideas. Pick The Perfect Spot Next you need to scout virtually your garden to identify the platonic location for your water wall. It needs a wastefulness of light and shade. You don’t want your children to be standing out in the exposed sunlight for unconfined lengths of time, but if the play zone is in permanent shade it will be cold, uninviting and as it never dries out, it may rationalization scum or mould to grow. A good compromise is to pick a sunny spot, then use a parasol to shade the zone when your children are using it. If you have a climbing frame with a redundant side, filling this in with a bit of workbench can create a water wall on one side, and a den effect on the other. Gather Materials Collect plastic bottles, guttering, tubing, anything waterproof that can guide the path of water either through it or over it. You will moreover need a large peg workbench or fence panel, plane an old painted door will do, to nail the pieces to. GetTowersSketching out a diamond and then ownership the materials to make it can prove expensive. A increasingly affordable way to create your own wall is to pile up all the materials you have, leaf through the inspirational images you have found, and find the weightier way to fit it together.UnshutEnded Play Leave plenty of telescopic for imaginative play. You could leave some of the areas unfinished and alimony spare towers materials in a skillet so your children can experiment with completing the path with variegated pieces. You can moreover use loose fittings, for example a single nail will act as a pivot, so the children can move the pieces on the workbench into variegated positions. Recycle Don’t forget to finish your water wall with a skillet to collect the water at the end. Rainwater can be placid and used on the plants. And on sunny days your children can use a single skillet of water over and over again, rather than pestering for the garden tap to be turned on.

If you have restricted space in your garden (and a lot of us do) you may fear the dreaded crash caused by an errant football, or speeding tennis ball. But stopping these games perfectly does you children no favours. Balls games requite children the endangerment to develop hand-eye coordination skills, social skills as they interact while playing, and of undertow get much needed fresh air and exercise. So what can you do to prevent the zinger crash wallop. We’ve got some suggestions here for ‘ball games’ without the wayward balls. 1. Badminton Often overlooked in favour of tennis, but badminton requires just as much skill and concentration.Consideringthe shuttlecock travels slowly it is unlikely to go far unbearable off-target to hit the fence. And if it does, you’ll hear barely a tap as it is much lighter than a ball. 2. Swingball Swingball is just like tennis, only the wittiness is tethered, so no endangerment of it escaping into the neighbour’s garden or bashing into the fence. 3. Boules Played properly there is no endangerment of loud noises. These heavy balls plop soundlessly onto the lawn and stay there. You may hear a gentle ‘clink’ as two balls touch each other. This is a wifely relaxing game requiring concentration so is platonic for taking energy levels lanugo a notch if things get a little frenetic. 4. Skittles If you don’t have a skittles set you can make your own with some sand filled [plastic bottles and a tennis ball. Help younger children aim by having them roll the wittiness lanugo the slide towards skittles assembled at the bottom. Older children can add uneaten rencontre by placing the skittles at the top of the slide and rolling the wittiness up it. 5. Outdoor Table Tennis For the ultimate outdoor accessory, get a waterproof table tennis set.
