Get kids out into the garden by building a DIY tent using wooden rods and bed linen. Encourage them to use dolls and action toys to create a fun fantasy world from their favourite film or book.

Tip: For babies, make the den super-comfy with duvets, pillows and blankets and fill it with soft toys & wooden baby toys.

Get your kids exploring their environment by hiding little toys around the garden. They’ll love the excitement of discovering fun surprises (a bit like shopping at TK Maxx), while the hunt itself will give them confidence.

Tip: Buy sweets and hide them in secret places at your local park or forest on a day out.

If it’s a bit chilly outside, let them stay in their pyjamas (we've got cute styles for boys, for girls & for babies), layer the floor with rugs, cushions and have a picnic. Baking with kids can be fun and educational (we call it messy fun), while younger children love toy food sets.

Tip: Make quick and easy finger sandwiches super-fun by cutting them into shapes.

Little ones love nothing more than playing dress up, which is why we have hundreds of costumes for kids at incredible prices. Encourage them to get creative by putting on a play or perform their favourite song (get those cameras ready!). Or get them to have pretend play sessions with our top toys: will they become little make-up artists, ice-cream vendors, painters or tea party hosts?

Tip: Devise a dressing up box and challenge them to build up their own outfit.
