Get ready with some&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/categories\/outdoorsy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">outdoor toys<\/a>&nbsp;and head out to the garden or somewhere local to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon.

Dig out costumes and old clothes or prompt children to come up with an original story to perform. To inspire them, you could even jot down a few silly ideas on scraps of paper like an astronaut looking for Mars or an explorer stuck in quicksand. Maybe even have children reach into a hat to pick one. Once they\u2019ve chosen their idea, give the children some time to rehearse, and then get ready for a show!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"418\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-froken-fokus-127968.jpg\" alt=\"Child jumping in fancy dress\" class=\"wp-image-18711\" style=\"width:800px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-froken-fokus-127968.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-froken-fokus-127968-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Fr\u00f6ken Fokus\/Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"treasure\">4.

Young children love looking for anything like flowers, squirrels or leaves following a series of clues. It doesn&#8217;t need much planning or they could create they very own treasure map! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-jonas-mohamadi-2495567.jpg\" alt=\"Child running in nature\" class=\"wp-image-18712\" style=\"width:800px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-jonas-mohamadi-2495567.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-jonas-mohamadi-2495567-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Jonas Mohamadi\/Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"magic\">5.

Once it\u2019s looking fabulous, fill it with special items your children can play with. This could be anything from colouring and activity books to puzzles, games and cards. When kids say they\u2019re bored, have friends over or parents need some time to work or do chores, the magic box can come to the rescue! And don\u2019t forget to keep things interesting by occasionally topping up the box with a new surprise <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/categories\/books--games\">game <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/categories\/puzzles\">puzzle<\/a>! <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-4569331.jpg\" alt=\"Children drawing on a cardboard box\" class=\"wp-image-18713\" style=\"width:806px;height:538px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-4569331.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/pexels-cottonbro-studio-4569331-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: Cottonbro Studio\/Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"spa\">6.

Then get ready for spa favourites: paint fingernails, soak feet in bowls of warm water, make face masks with kitchen ingredients and give each other massages!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-breakingpic-3192.jpg\" alt=\"Woman relaxing with cucumber eye mask\" class=\"wp-image-18714\" style=\"width:800px;height:undefinedpx\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-breakingpic-3192.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.wickeduncle.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/pexels-breakingpic-3192-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Breakingpic\/Pexels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"gardening\">7.

And best of all, gardens require regular maintenance, so this is an activity you can return to regularly. Growing food and flowers is also fun and helps teach children responsibility.
