Fun stuff for kids and parents

Tried and tested on willing guinea piglets

This optimistic, self-employed writer, translator, columnist and mum knows that with kids, a dash of charm and a good giggle beat fear of failure every time.

So here are some out-of-the-box ideas to keep kids and parents happy for hours...

Slip and slide...make your own like the FANTASTIC PLASTIC BAGMAN!!!!

Stretch out the big plastic sheets and fasten down.
We used gaffa tape attached to heavy stuff a long way away from flailing
arms and legs. Some people use pegs but duct tape is nice and soft - though it
does eventually lose its stickyness in water.

Cover with water and cooking oil.
Fix up a hosepipe (bottom right) - unless there's a hosepipe ban,
then do a rain dance and hope it pours down.
Instead of cooking oil, you may prefer baby shampoo that doesn't hurt your eyes.

The fantastic, plastic BAGMAN!!!
Complete with pillow for tummy and big plastic bags taped on
with duct tape.
MAKE SURE:
1. Capes are taped to chests and not round necks .
2. Plastic bags have BIG HOLES for heads.

A true Englishman - he keeps his socks on!

Visor down, READY, STEADY, GO!!

YOUTUBE VIDEO LINKS 

The video function won't work on blogspot but we're using YouTube.
Guess if I was clever I'd be able to rotate the videos, but regular readers won't be expecting miracles (not in a technical sense anyway) so imagine the G-force is to blame, imagine the ipad is a steering wheel and  turn it carefully on its side :o)
Hold tight! Here we go!
