Free fun for kids - 7. Mud pies

7. Make mud pies and magic mixtures

Ages 3-7. Great if you want to leave them to it.

If there's a spot in your garden you don't mind the kids digging in, give them a bucket and some water and leave them to it! Children can spend hours pretending to be witches, cooks, mums...

You could also set them up on a plastic sheet in the garden with a big bowl of flour and some water. If you've got any food colouring knocking about, it can add a whole new level of fun to the game!
