This is a great activity as your children can explore and collect items in local park etc and then make things from there findings.

Do you have any other projects planned?

We have made bird feeders and now thinking of making a bug house!

How are you finding being housebound so far?

It’s been lovely spending time with them and I have learned as much from them as they have from me! Watching them learn through play and get creative has been a pleasure! Of course it’s not all roses with 3 boys they certainly keep me on my toes that’s for sure!

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Let them lead you on activities and take their ideas and go with it search on local groups etc choose your battles things will not always go to plan but that’s definitely ok.

Has this website and community helped you?

It has given me much needed inspiration and love seeing all the different activities etc that other families have been doing.
