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...

Make your own non-slip socks

You'll need:
Some socks
A paintbrush
Some rubbery glue or left-over latex (like we used)
Rolled up newspaper to stuff inside the socks to stop the glue from gluing both sides together
Make dots for your toes
But don't do what we did next..
Because if you cover large parts of the socks with glue...like this
And do several layers, it looks cool...
Really cool and when it dries it's very good for stopping kids from slipping over
BUT
The bits covered in the glue DON'T stretch.

So you end up with the heel halfway under your foot.
WHICH IS WHY

You should
MAKE LOTS OF DOTS INSTEAD
which is probably more fun for kids anyway.
