Another week, another four zillion hours to fill indoors.
Breathe in – and lower those shoulders, mama. We got this.
I know we all feel like we are running out of ideas when it comes to entertaining the little ones, but relaaax – that’s what Pinterest is for.
Below, we have rounded up 10 super-easy, yet really entertaining ideas for you to get your kids stuck into this coming week – because, let’s face it – sometimes you just need to sit down and enjoy your latte in peace.
1. Make pasta art
How adorable are these tiny pasta plants?!
2. Paint on rocks
Take a trip to a local beach, collect some smooth stones, then paint them in whatever design or pattern you fancy.
3. Make a memory book
How about chronicling these very strange and unusual days, so you can look back and remember them in the future.

PS: They can no doubt also be made into bird houses.

Salt dough + cookie cutter ≈ tons of fun.

You are not even going to have to talk them into taking part in this one.
