How to entertain the kids at home by Honeycombers Kids

Need a quick magic trick to impress the fussiest audience in your house? Or that rainy day activity that doesn't involve the TV? Here's our tips to fire up your imagination and entertain the kids at home. No sweat. But, errrr, maybe just a little mess.

Make Your Own Playdough

Aaah - this old classic. Playdough never fails to entertain. Here's our Playdough recipe for the kids to make their own from scratch. They get to choose their favourite colours, and you can add glitter or sequins to make it the most glamorous playdough around.

Mini Iron Chef

Get the kids into the kitchen. Get them their creative juices flowing while making a healthy snack - our top pick is the easy, healthy Berry-Apple Fairy. Or reward their hard day at school with some Super Dooper Easy Fried Ice-cream.

And have some fun spelling out their names or your favourite quote with the Alphabet baking tray. You can use jelly, ice, anything you would normally bake...and then you really can eat your own words.

Abradadabra

It's good to have just one magic trick up your sleeve to prove that you really are still the cleverest person in the house. This disappearing bottle and these magic tricks using only basic household items will wow even the fussiest of small audiences.

Get Out And About

Join the worldwide treasure hunt of Geocaching. Your kids can track down the nearest treasure to your loungeroom on their computer, load up the nearest GPS device with all the details, pack some supplies and go high-tec treasure hunting.

Homemade Inspiration

We love this blog Made By Joel, an artist with two young children. He will inspire you with his brilliant, simple and creative ideas that will fire up your kids imaginations. We love this ultra modern zen dolls' house. Use up an old cereal box to make this old school marble run, build a natural mobile with the leftovers from round your home, or go fishing in your lounge room.
