If there's anyone who can give us inspiration for keeping the kids busy during lockdown it's the Scouts.
While the association is perhaps better known for organising activities in the great outdoors, it has come up with 100+ stay at home activities to entertain kids over the next few weeks
The list, aimed at helping kids learn new skills and have fun - while also helping parents avoid hearing the dreaded ‘I’m bored’ every 30 seconds - features everything from making animal collages with leaves, to making miniature catapults from lolly sticks (if you can tolerate that one).
Listing the activities on their website page, the Scouts say: "We know that the social and economic impact of Covid-19 on young people will be significant.
These activities are free – of course! – but if you like what you see and you want to keep young people learning, connected and helping others during this period, please consider making a donation.
"These activities were originally designed for groups meeting face-to-face, so you may have to think on your feet to make them work in the (very unique) situation we’re in."
Some of the other activities include creating a book in a bag - picking objects and equipment that best represent the story or characters and gathering them together in a homemade book bag.
There's also making funny fruity monster faces and encouraging wildlife in your garden with homemade wildflower seed bombs.
